As the year 2021 draws to a close it might be slightly strange to think that I have started something new. And what is that you might ask? Well, blogging right here on the blockchain of course! I've been meaning to start posting here for a couple of months but only in the last few days, that I have gotten around to it. I started Dtube back in august and I must admit it took me a while to get used to it even though my first video on Dtube did really well. I hope that won't be the same here on the ecency because I have received a really amazing response to my first post! (Thank you, everyone) I must admit I don't fully understand quite what I'm doing yet, but I plan to learn a lot quicker than I did on Dtube. The progress was slow on Dtube after the initial first video because I just didn't understand the power of the blockchain. Now here we are a few months later and I must say I'm rather impressed.
So why the picture of the beer?
Well because it's now the festive period! And I plan on drinking quite a lot of #beer Although not all that of that 馃槈 And not too much in one go (Drink responsibly and all that) This has been a challenging year for most local businesses so it is important to #shoplocal when you can. Flack manor is a local brewery to me so I thought it was important to support their business for this time of year. It would be easy enough to go and buy some from a local supermarket but it just won't taste as fresh as this. I mean straight from the pump; can you get better than that?
So far I have discovered there is #beertoken on hive much to my surprise. I can't say that I have ever heard about it before. However, if a token is named after my favourite alcoholic beverage I must say that I am a fan. It would be rude not to. It is something I will 100% be looking into come next year.
On a side note; while we are indulging it is also worth remembering those less fortunate than us this time of year. Christmas is a time for giving more than it is a time for receiving. It is much regretted though that I didn't get a chance to do a proper charity appeal this year, as I have only just recovered from my illness I didn't have time to do a music video for it. However, not all is lost. I uploaded a video from 2020 of my charity appeal for Shelter and I think by uploading that to Dtube and sharing it here; if nothing else it will help raise some awareness for the cause. The blockchain is global and therefore there are many deserving charities around the world. Keep shopping local and also keep giving to local charities. Come the new year hopefully 馃 I'll be better and ready to raise funds again. A couple of months back I already raised funds for cancer research UK by doing a busking set.
If you wish to check out the video for my 2020 fundraiser you can over here on my Dtube
So thanks everyone for giving me such a warm welcome to the platform and finding what I had to say somewhat interesting. I thought I might do another post before the new year, but looking at that mountain of beer it might not be best too. 馃槣馃槄
Cheers 馃嵒
