Introduce Myself on Steemit

Hi Steemians my name is Dennis, I decided to make my first post at last so here goes. I work in New York for an insurance firm and for a few years a very good friend of mine kept trying to get me into blockchains. I was never interested until 2017 came around. Now I am all in, I think a lot came from educating myself on blockchains and realizing how powerful a tool it is.

I now want to be a part of this revolution and have converted several people in the process, including my wife. I am slowly getting more and more involved in this space. My next goal is to create some kind of a practical application. I have a few ideas in my mind hope one pans out. I keep on seeing people talk about what the next big coin is going to be and how it will be very profitable. What people don't realize is that blockchains will be only successful if we start producing more and more practical applications. Otherwise it will wither away with time and the naysayers will point out how it was similar to the Tulip bubble. I don't intend on that happening hence I educate myself to learn more and educate more people and hopefully build something useful. Also I am an avid photographer, check out my website www.denniskillz.com.

Also this is my second account, unfortunately I lost my seed/password and the reality of being on a blockchain set in, no password resets. So here I am starting from scratch again. Hope to hear from all of you.

Hello dennisjr! 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!
