RE: Ask Me Anything Contest The Best Questions Win SBD - Dragging You Up With Me Week #6

in #contest6 years ago

Well I’ll have to start with explaining how I found out about Steemit.

I started researching crypto with FOMO intentions which lead me to build a mining rig. Then I learned about Steem as a free transaction crypto and wondered why I couldn’t mine it so I signed up trying to research what being a witness would require. The idea of a social media platform paying out crypto for interaction just amazed me, still I think it’s a genius way of encouraging positive interactions.

Previously to this I had a series of misfortunes and to honour my late buddy Tristan Watterworth I decided to start writing as he always encouraged me to start and he wanted me to review his works that he never did get to publish. I just felt right to live the legacy he was never able to!

What’s the most interesting? Writing for me is therapeutic and I would never have discovered that had my buddy not passed away at the same time as myself starting to research crypto currency. It’s one of those synchronistic moments where had anything in my life been at all different I would not be here today, that’s what’s most interesting to me.

I feel like everything lined up, good & bad aside they are all just life events, I was led to this platform and it has been the only therapeutic outlet that has helped me endure and I may not have discovered my passion for blogging and vlogging had those life events not happened.

In short this platform has been nothing but a blessing for my own wellbeing!

Aww dude it’s all good I’m here now, found my therapeutic release through those very things I was requiring the release from.

Yea it was all about the technology behind the crypto that made me interested in steem, from there I started writing. I am fairly decent at it and I like word play, double meanings so it came naturally. I also naturally adapted to vlogging cause I talk a lot of @D00k13 <- word play in action. Now it’s a desire to write and interact, record and edit videos. I am often asked straight up “are you here for the money?” Straight up we all are, choosing not to make the creation about reward rather it’s from the heart is the most liberating thing I’ve done.

In short I have challenged myself every step of the way to learn what I know now, and so to you must challenge yourself to lean new skills and how best to apply them. Keep writing with consistency of creation comes experience with understanding of how to do what you do the best you can do it.
