Self - Introduction

in #introduceyourself • 6 years ago

Hello Steemit!

A little about me:

My name is Ethan Jeffery-liu and I am currently working on my B.A. in Economics. My enjoyment improving my understanding of macroeconomic theories has led to my ongoing exploration of geopolitics and government structures.

In 2016 I began investing in crypto and quickly became an enthusiast. I believe that blockchains have the potential to improve equity and trust in financial and political systems. However, certain functions of existing institutions, such as use of monetary policy, are clearly advantageous for a stable and well functioning economy. Many of these functions are hard to conceptualize being implemented in a decentralized network, and these limitations will have to be conquered to create the next generation of cryptocurrencies.

I hope that Steemit will help me:

-Learn more about cryptocurrency
-Share my ideas
-Document my experience as I look for new opportunities

Are decentralized monetary systems the future?
Will prediction markets change politics?
I want to join the conversation!

Picture coming soon!

    Hello ethanjliu! 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!
