A small introduction
๐ Nice to meet You! ๐
๐ Why am I here? ๐
I was just curious, as simple as that.
Actually, you don't see a website like Steemit every day.
๐ฐ What about crypto? ๐ฐ
I'm a fan but unfortunately I have no practical experience in trading, mining, or whatever... Anyway, the website seems interesting, it is well documented and it looks like many people know how to deal with this kind of things.
I hope "Steemians" will help me learn more in dept how Steem and cryptocurrencies in general work.
๐ฆ What about me? ๐ฆ
I'm an outgoing guy, who is irreparably in love with books.
I'm also a student, I study chemistry. I like it but I prefer to study, mostly, other subjects, so my marks aren't always the best... But I'm ok with it, it's my decision to do so.
๐ And... What do I study? ๐
๐ป Computer Science ๐ป
I don't want to dive too much into the argument, anyway I know C, C++, and python as programming languages, batch and bash as scripting languages and Windows/Linux CLI. I started learning due to my uncle, who is tremendously good in any problem concerning computer science (he is a master troubleshooter), he came to my house for Christmas ๐
and taught me some simple tricks. When he left, I got so intrigued that I started learing tirelessly and I end up with some knowledge and abilities...
Today I know much more obviously, but you never stop learning.
โ Math โ
Since I was I child, I loved math and I thought be a mathematician was my dream job, but when I grew up I realized that it wasn't my way... Nevertheless, now I'm keen on mathematics as never before and I study it along with programming (it's really useful), it is my favorite hobby.
๐ฎ Literature ๐ฎ
If I think about literature, I don't think of it as a normal subject, something that can be studied...
I see it as something that should be lived to get it it completely, it is the only subject that to be understood needs to be felt, the same principle is valid for life...
Due to this strong bond, Literature, expecially poetry ๐, really changes your perception of how you and others live and behave.
I'm sorry if I can't explain completely what I'm trying to sayโฆ ๐
ๅด Foreign languages ๅด
You know... If you love reading why should you read only in your mother tongue?
I would like to speak fluently more languages, but it takes a lot of timeโฆ Anyway I speak well Italian (mother tongue) and English; I can speak very little French and Latin.
๐ What about free time? ๐
Random. I often hang out with friends, but sometimes I prefer staying alone, notably at parties or after parties.
I love my friends and I'm particularly loyal with them, whenever they need me I'm there to help.
In my spare time it's common to see me reading or petting my loved dog ๐ and cat ๐, they're essential to me.
๐ค Why all these questions? ๐ค
Because there could be some people overwhelmed with stupid doubts like me... and because I hope to be the clearest with my way to be.
Welcome on Steemit @fral
wish you fun and success, if you have questions, feel free to ask.
Best regards

Thank you @arcange!
I'm really excited! But I'm afraid that I don't know how to "vote your witness".
If I click I see a kind of profile, should I follow it?

It's safe and easy.
Ok, as website says, I completed the transaction.

Thanks in advance

Thank you for your support and witness vote, @fral, really appreciated!
Witnesses are people who run steem nodes and secure the blockchain. Witnesses are elected by the users (the community) and the more votes one get (i.e. the more trusted by the community you are as a witness), the more likely you are to produce a block.
You can see a list of witnesses I created here: https://steem.arcange.eu/witnesses
(It might look a bit technical, but it contains a lot of useful information)
Witness also do a lot to promote the Steem blockchain. The best thing is to read their introduction post or update post (the link next to their name in my list).
I wish you all the best on Steem!
It's all clear now. An amazing job!
Thanks again
