My humble introduction towards you, the steemit community.

in #introduceyourself6 years ago

First of all, I would like to briefly mention that you are a special and a beautiful being. You are priviledged to be alive on this amazing Pale Blue Dot and, specifically, at this time in history.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know a fellow enthousiast.

Hi, hej, hallo, hola, yassas,

by @Pallymerisation

Who am I?

Well, glad you asked! You can call me Ipally, I am a 24-year old guy from the Netherlands (you know.. Amsterdam and stuff). As my age possibly suggests, I am still trying to find my place in the ecosystem we call 'Society'. I have a Master's degree in Finance, which may sound swell or dafty (depending on your stance), yet I have lost interest in pursuing a job that revolves around 'money-grabbing'. I am very eager to learn, my interests go way beyond just Finance or Economics. For instance, I have always been fascinated by Astronomy, Physics & Science, Human Psychology and Technology (Mostly Blockchain and the progression of IoT).

Especially the latter has been something that I have become very intrigued by and is starting to become somewhat of a passion that I want to pursue. What form this will take or how I will be engaging in this particular subject is still somewhat of a mystery for me. However, I have been, and still am, intensely studying the technology on a daily basis for the past year. Both from a financial perspective (Technical Analysis, crypto trading & 'Investing') and a systemic perspective (Future implications & Use-cases).

Furthermore, a while back, possibly months ago, I stumbled upon an American economic & Social theorist by the name of Jeremy Rifkin. He wrote a book called 'The Third Industrial Revolution' back in 2011 and preaches about the movement of the same name. After getting acquanted with his ideas and vision, it became so much easier to grasp and understand these rapid technological developments that are being thrown at us. It gave me a better ability to put it all into perspective. His vision is that we are currently in the process of the follow-up of the Second Industrial Revolution, where the internet, the possibilities of Internet-of-Things and the sharing-economy will drastically impact our ecological footprint and productivity (among other things). Might you already be interested, VICE has a lengthy documentary of him step-by-step going through the transitioning of the different revolutions:

What do I want? And what can I offer?

I long fantasized about writing my own articles or blogs, but never took the time nor had the courage to actually pursue this little thought. However, I managed to slightly push myself to finally start doing it anyway and write about stuff that really gets me excited in the hope of educating, entertaining and helping others.
It's hard to really determine what the future blogs will look like from this point in time. If I can make a guess, they will vary from Technical Analysis posts (Cryptocurrencies, possibly stocks as well) to interesting developments regarding Internet-of-Things (IoT) to educational material (Financial Literacy? Blockchain? Cryptocurrencies? TBD).
I am also open for discussions that are related to the subjects mentioned in this post, we can always learn from each other, which makes us incredible beings.

Final words

I sincerely hope you managed to keep your eyes open upon reading this post. Regardless of whether you did or not, I would like to thank you for your time! If you have any remarks, comments, suggestions or questions, feel free to post them below.

Regards,

iPally

Hello ipally! 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!
