It's always difficult to be the new one when you join a new group of people, whether it's because you start a new job, because you join a new sports team or because you sign up for a new site, being the new one is never easy!
Everyone speaks a new language that is incomprehensible to us, we feel observed and somehow judged and it takes time for us to understand how to integrate and for others to begin to appreciate our qualities.
Today, the new one on steemit is me and I start by introducing myself.
My name is Antonio and I am a startupper, not one of the cool ones who has just done an IPO and enjoys life on some beach in Thailand but one of those who spends most of his time in front of the computer dreaming one day to enjoy life on some beach in Thailand (to those who are interested in this link to the site of my startup: www.socialbeat.io)
I like new things, experimenting with new things and I get bored with the routine...and please don't think this is cool. Over time, this characteristic of mine has led me to cultivate countless passions that I have given up with the speed of light. Some examples?
In my bedroom I have a metal detector with which I was looking for antique coins or gold objects on the beach, I have a chest of drawers full of stamps of which I ignore any rating (I'm just convinced that it is less than I paid for them), I played in Serie B baseball and I paid part of my university studies with poker and believe me I could continue with a long list.
Why on steemit?
Because steemit seems to me the first real serious project that there is behind a cryptocurrency. Because, when steemit will be successful and will become mainstream, I can say that I have made a small contribution and because when steem will become a virtuous example of cryptocurrency, I want to say that I was there :)
