Introduction

Hi,

I am the Bitcoin Duchess. I live in Alberta Canada, own a marketing company, and have an absolute love for all things bitcoin and blockchain related.me4.jpg

I was one of those rare cases that knew about Bitcoin early on. A number of years ago, I came across a Silk Road article discussing the blackmarket and how funds were being transferred illegally. Ignoring the prevalent FBI investigation bit, I started researching Bitcoin. What it was, how it worked, and how popular it was with the masses. Needless to say it wasn’t popular at all, at least not for people that weren’t involved in criminal activity.

I have always had a fascination with anything that would push towards a global currency. Believing that someday there would be a monetary system that would be able to work on a global and international scale. Bitcoin showed that promise, even back then when I was researching in 2011.

I didn’t have much money to invest with at the time, so I was adamant that my dad look into it and start investing. Even just some spare change, anything, I was so sure of the future of this coin. The idea and possibilities were endless, it just needed the attention of the masses and an urgency call to change our ways.

As fast as my fascination with Bitcoin started, it soon became a dormant memory and I would only perk up when someone mentioned the word in a financial debate, and most of the time it would be shot down due to lack of social acceptance.

Well fast forward to December of 2017. The market hit a whopping $20,000 a coin. What?

Still struggling with social acceptance, it was becoming a rising star among all crypto currencies. I watched those around me get entangled with not just Bitcoin, but other smaller coins as well. They started day trading and went through the motions all traders do when dealing with investing in such a volatile market. I didn’t want any part of the ups and downs so I decided on investing in only one coin, and hold.

The one coin I believed in all along. Bitcoin.

Since then the market has tanked, for lack of a better word. Bitcoin enthusiasts all over the world are watching the the market prices closely and some are speculating that Bitcoin is a lost cause, while others are saying that Bitcoin will hit 50k by the end of the year.

What do I think will happen? I’m not sure. All I know is this was the one coin I have believed in since the beginning and I don’t plan on missing the boat again.

greetings, beatiful, charming and smart bitcoinduchess

Be very welcome to steemit social network. I've been here since February of this year and I'm really enjoying. I participate here actively every day. Here, we can learn a lot by reading other people's posts about content that interest us and we can post our own content, helping people within our areas of expertise, training our writing, making a kind of "therapy" because, writing helps us to reflect on our knowledge and we will be slightly paid for it. I hope you enjoy.

My main tip is: before you begin to post your content, read the posts by teaching staff how to use this network, about how to write good text, how are the coins sbd, steem and steem power, how to advertise your text using the discord by example, votes issues and other things.

Other than that, we are always available. If you have any questions, go ahead.

Good afternoon!!!! Welcome!!

Hello bitcoinduchess! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
  5. Have Fun and Enjoy!

Welcome nice to have you here , maybe you are lucky to be joining when steem is at a really low price . When price is low less people are posting and you have a better chance to earn steem . I highly recommend you post a lot and keep on posting . Till you get to at least 15 Steem Power. Don’t give up . I don’t recommend you buy Steem Power but I do recommend you post often till you get to 15 Steem Power. If you can not post go ahead and make sure to vote at least 6 times when you wake up and 4 times when you are going to bed . No more and no less.

Welcome to Steem @bitcoinduchess.

Hey girl, love your smile, and Bitcoin can rise when the dollar falls and that is really up to each person on earth. I have some Bitcoin and Ethereum. I like the competition of the different cryptocurrencies and that accelerates as more and more people leave the ghettos of normal, centralized, fiat, money, like the dollar for example.
