Long time crypto user, first time Steemit-poster. Loving it already!

I have always been fascinated by the power of blockchain ever since I learned about our precious bitcoin in 2014.

It was after learning about BTC that I became extremely passionate about learning the different types of blockchains and what their uses are. That is where I found Steemit and everything that goes into creating this delicate ecosystem we all enjoy. It is this infographic that got me salivating to learn more about Steemit:

The idea of pure, decentralized content curation with a utility token to boot, wow! That is one compelling use-case for Steemit, and I am so excited to get started using this incredible platform that has changed peoples' lives. I have had the opportunity to travel to many parts of the world, and I am an avid foodie, reviewer of all things, critic (who's not a critic in today's world), and I love to learn new things and meet new people. It keeps life fresh!

Recently I have been working on the art of bonsai and have learning patience and anxiety-relief from this cool hobby. Here is my little bonsai, a Ginseng Grafted Ficus, only about eight months old.

Finally, I would have to be crazy if I didn't mention my dog, Rupert. He is the sweetest Goldendoodle I have ever encountered and makes for one helluva companion!

It is driving me crazy that my photos are coming out sideways, but that's what I get for being new to the platform, I promise my posts will get better over time.

I cannot wait to meet members of the Steemit community from around the world and dive headfirst into this excellent platform! I'm on the Steemit train now, baby!
