Hello, everyone. I just heard about Steemit today through someone I follow on Youtube that has a video series called Bitcoin and Coffee. That's actually where I get most of my crypto news. Anyway, when I heard about the Steemit platform for social media, I took an interest and decided to jump in and try it out. I'm still trying to wrap my head around how it all works, but Im sure I'll figure it out in time. As far as a little background, I'm an IT guy working in the Cyber Security field and live in lower IL. Even though I've been working in IT for a long time, the concept of crypto currencies is still fairly new to me. I hadn't really heard of Bitcoin until a friend introduced me to it back in mid 2014. I immediately took interest and read several books about Bitcoin and then there was no looking back. Even though I learned a great deal, I realized that there is always more to learn as the technology keeps changing. Lately, I've started to diversify a bit and invest in a few alt coins. Maybe they'll be profitable and maybe they won't; only time will tell. I believe in crypto currencies though and I believe it will become much more mainstream as time goes on. I'm here to ride the crypto wave along with the rest of you and hopefully make some friends along the way.
