My self introduction

The place I call home.jpgGreetings everyone, I am here now! I'm a human from Earth born 1976. I'm seeking rare breeds of original people with similar interests to mine (a wide variety). The most beautiful thing on Earth is Earth itself, this planet is so amazing and so are all its life forms, geological formations, weather patterns, cycles, seasons and pretty much everything about it. When I look at a photo of Earths horizon taken from orbit I can see how thin that strip of blue we live at the bottom of actually is and think to myself all thats holding it there is gravity, it makes me realise how lucky I am. I did ok in school but I've learned more than i did there over the years through my own research in the topics I was interested in. These included astronomy, geology, chemistry, physics, spectroscopy, science, biology, botany, hydroponics, history, aincient civilisations, alchemy, mono atomic elements, conspiracy theories, coats of arms and my latest project, cryptocurrencies. I was a keen pc gamer for years but gave up for the time being. I recently started skateboarding again, something i did a lot of as a kid. I love to build things including pc systems and have a distinction in basic electronics. I have done many different jobs in construction and could pretty much renew everything in an existing domestic building except the roof and the gas plumbing. I would love to buy an old house one day and do it up. Hoping to get rich with crypto and be able to do it. Not worried about a lambo yet though and we already have a moon, luckily. I'm loving the global community aspect of it above all, its a pleasure to be here, peace to everyone and thanks for reading.

welcome to steemit

your welcome

Hello summinkspeshal! 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!
