Hey there, Steemit...

How's it going?

I new to Steemit and have joined as I'm interested in dApps and Web3.

I reckon blockchain technology is the future, the Internet will become decentralised, and crypto currencies will end up replacing the traditional banking system, as that only really works to make a small elite very rich at the expense of the rest of us. It's what the Internet was supposed to be in the first place.

I live in the UK and am one of the "48%", who didn't vote to leave the European Union, coz it's a stupid idea.
I work in IT, and I like to take photos (mainly black and white) and I play the drums.
I'm also interested in company culture and changing the workplace, to make everyone's working lives fit more around the rest of their lives. Work life balance is important, and ultimately benefits everyone.

That's all for now 😀

Hello tobylh! 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:

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.
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.
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.
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.
Have Fun and Enjoy!

Welcome to Steem Community @tobylh! As a gentle reminder, please keep your master password safe. The best practise is to use your private posting key to login to Steemit when posting; and the private active key for wallet related transactions.

It would be cool to give the newbies as big a vote as you gave yourself. They need the encouragement

Welcome @tobylh, I am also from the UK and joined Steemit in early March. I have looked at your blog and you seem to be a photographer.

While you work is good, if I can give you some advice, add a few photographs in the same post, and add some description about them. It may get you more attention.

I am a scout for @thegreetersguild and noticed your #introducemyself post. I wish you all the best here.

Hey handsome, welcome to steemit! I’m @ichie1 and I’ll love to see your progress and success here.

Each day holds a surprise. But only if we expect it can we see, hear, or feel it when it comes to us. Let's not be afraid to receive each day's surprise, whether it comes to us as sorrow or as joy It will open a new place in our hearts, a place where we can welcome new friends and celebrate more fully our shared humanity.

Make new friends, but keep the old; Those are silver, these are gold.
