Hello Everyone!

Who I am:

My name is Shadow and I am fairly new to this world running by electronic signals and decisions made by the users empowered by it. My understanding of electronics and computers are quite high, what I am referring to is that of cryptocurrencies, stocks and trade, switching currencies to make a profit including using them to keep money safe and protected, and also unregulated in some cases. I currently am investing my time into a start-up business, trying to improve my financial status as an individual and make an impact within the world. My goal is one day to become a philanthropist, who's wealthy and can provide security to his friends and family, and also help promote plans to create a better world we live with either community programs or groups that can go and build up poverty where it is found into a more livable environment.

What is my purpose here:

The reason why I am here on Steemit is because I was referred to it by a group called ADSactly on a discord server. Within that server I was immersed into a world that burned my curiosity, I had always had some inkling as to what the cyber community was; the stereotypes being private individuals or groups of people doing shady things or with no life, at least I didn't believe that because I saw a market waiting to be explored, a sea of knowledge waiting for me to learn it all, every crevice and crack. I am here to learn. I am here to provide my own opinions that I hope will contribute to the Steemit community.

What do I need from you:

In all sincerity, I am looking for mentors who can equip me with the knowledge I need to become successful, and I never forget my debts. My financial situation is nothing to be proud of, and though I am thankful for what I currently have, I'm not going to lay around in it waiting for something to change, I want to better myself, and I need help to do that, so if anyone would be willing to give me a few moments of time with tips and resources for this second goal, you have my appreciation, thank you.

Current Projects:

I am currently working on a VPN services company known as null.black (https://null.black/), and soon I hope to be taking a couple cybersecurity courses provided by Cisco Net Academy. Several months from now I will also be entering the United States Marine Corps to further my knowledge and fulfill my patriotic debt my country deserves for giving me the opportunity of free enterprise and freedom of expression. I am also going to be graduating from high school soon as well so I must learn what I can, and then continue learning.
