Introducing Evan Petzer – A Crypto Fanatic & Realist

Hi fellow steemians, my name is Evan Petzer, 29 years of age, alias @cryptoscout. I live in a small town about 45 km away from the Southernmost Tip of Africa named Bredasdorp. I have lived here for the past 6 years now and really fond of calling it home.

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend." by Melody Beattie

I’m not too new to steemit and the community but have been on the platform just over a month now, in the past month I have made many mistakes and have learnt a lot at the same time. I consider this not only to be a #introduceyourself post but a timestamp reset of my profile, starting a new chapter from scratch.

"It's a wise man who understands that every day is a new beginning, because boy, how many mistakes do you make in a day? I don't know about you, but I make plenty. You can't turn the clock back, so you have to look ahead." by Mel Gibson

Why the name @cryptoscout?

After leaving the South African Air Force after 8 years of service last year December, I was scouting for new opportunities to build a future on and stumbled upon “STEEMIT”. I have always been very fond of the Blockchaine and cryptocurrency subject s with just over 3 years of part time experience. I couldn’t believe that I haven’t come across this amazing platform before. Then it struck me Cryptocurrency Scout or better yet CryptoScout. Now I’m doing crypto full time and looking to add value to other crypto fanatics and the future of technologies around Blockchaine.

What I’m all about?

Everything and anything about online earnings and mastering what I start with. I trade commodities and cryptocurrency mostly, still figuring out the whole buying shares story, It is always wise not to have all your eggs in one basket. I’m always on the look-out for rewarding opportunities to secure my financial profile and securities. If the term Blockchaine is involved I research and try it, adding to that, I will not promote any platform for compensation and will not write about something that I have not tried and tested myself. Exposing scammers and warning people against them is one of my favourite things to do as I would not want to see you make the same mistakes I made when starting on my online earning journey.

"Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." by Steve Jobs

A Father...

My main job is being a father and super hero to my 2 year old son, my motivation, love and joy in my life. Everything I do is to ensure a financially secure future for him, who knows someday he might continue the @cryptoscout legacy. Being a father is the single most important job out there and making the best of every single moment is of utmost importance.

Aspiring Traveller...

When you don’t work for anyone but yourself then time is a luxury that you have especially if you manage it wisely. I enjoy travelling and grew up travelling a lot, mostly locally in South Africa, I have been to Greece before but would love to see more...

Blogging & Vlogging...

I might not be the best writer in the world but I do make an effort to make it a pleasant experience, vlogging might be a better way to express myself but I’ll give both a try and see what you as fellow steemians think. I will share personal experiences, views and opinions with you and look forward to learning from other like minded individuals.

“Great writers are indecent people
they live unfairly
saving the best part for paper.
Good human beings save the world
so that bastards like me can keep creating art,
become immortal.
if you read this after I am dead
it means I made it.”
by Charles Bukowski

My Disclaimer...

I also just want to clarify that I’m not offering financial advice but rather an education regarding to the subjects mentioned above, whether you want to use my blog/vlog and the information thereof it still doesn’t mean I’m trading risk free. I do not promote any content or platforms that I’m not personally involved in and will not do so for financial or any other form of compensation whatsoever.
