Hello Everybody!
This is my "introduceyourself " post and my first post on Steemit.

Who am I?

I am a 25 years old Entrepreneur from Germany.
In 2013 I discovered Bitcoin and saw huge potential in it. I have a programming background and I was very interrested in the technology behind it and the Idea of a decentralised currency. Of course I invested some money in it and also began to use BTC as a currency to trade with some of my business Partners.
If I would have kept every Bitcoin that I every owned, I would be a multimillionair by now, but unfortunately that didn't happen. I still made enough money with Bitcoin to buy myself a nice condo though.
The Cryptocurrency Market has grown a lot since 2013 and many things have changed since then.
I now have more than half of my money invested in Cryptos and I am certain that the market will grow massively over the next few years.
Apart from that I also own a small trading company.

My Hobbies are Traveling, Reading and Chess.
I read a lot of books about Philosophy, Psychology, Business, Success and Politics.

I am a true libertarian anarcho capitalist and I belive in the philosophical concept of absolute freedom for every indivudial human beeing and in the non-aggression principle.

Why Am I here?

The Internet has changed in the last few years.
Censorship is a big threat right now and we can see how big networks like Facebook and YouTube censor and delete certain Pages and Channels every day.
I follow a lot of alternative media Channels on YouTube and last year over 20 Channels that I was subscribed to have been permanently deleted.
Most of these Channels got simply deleted because they don't agree with certain governmental decisions, have a different viewpoint on certain media events or criticising/debunking left ideologies and lies.

I don't want to live in a world where governments can dictate you what to speak about and what to think about.
Freedom of speech is one of the most important rights and we can't let them take that away from us.

I believe that the best thing that we can do to counteract censorship is to extract the power of centralized platforms by simply not using them anymore and give the power to more decentralized platforms.

Steemit is currently the best and most advanced alternative.
Even though I have some concerns about flagging and how it could be abused for censorship in the future, I still think that this platform is a step in the right direction and the monetization is very innovative.

When I have some spare time I will review the whole source code to fully understand how steem, steemit and dtube works and I will maybe write an extra article about it.

This platform has already grown a lot and I am so happy about that.
Finally a great alternative with so much potential. I hope that Steemit and dtube will replace networks like Facebook and YouTube in the future.
It may seem impossible right now, because almost everyone is still using these networks, but I also remember the time where myspace was the number 1 platform and now it's almost forgotten.
If enough people will switch from other platforms to steemit, then steemit will become unstoppable.

It took almost 3 weeks until I got the approval Email and I was checking my Emails every day waiting for this.
It feels great to finally be a part of this awesome Community!

Cheers,
