The Last Post I made was 15 Days ago.....
I just realized that the price of Steem has fallen to an abysmal $2 because of the bitcoin price fall.
Of all the times for that to happen, they choose the times when im not around to do that. I can't help but stare at the screen and ask the cryptoworld "What have you guys done while i was away!?"
It's crazy how long i've been inactive. I actually feel bad, looking at my last post being so many days ago..
Before i continue I need to introduce a little bit of who i actually am IRL, at least off the Steem Blockchain. You see, Professionally i am a freelance drone pilot/videographer. I fly big drones for big companies and get whatever data big clients ask for, imaging (photo/video), Mapping (cool 3D stuff like in Iron Man), Cloud points (wacky LIDAR stuff), whatever..
It's interesting for me to realize that my interest - cryptocurrency, is a growing industry, while my profession - Drones, is also another growing industry. The type of industry that is only now less than 2% of what it will be in 10 years, when i'm 34, hopefully with 10 years experience in both industries by then. and hopefully still making posts on the Steem Blockchain by then.
It's also worth noting that because both industries are so new (in Malaysia where i live especially), both industries has little to no oversight, any laws pertaining to them are scant and near impossible to enforce, as of now of course. Personally im paying close attention to the regulations and because as broke as i am, I very invested in this 2 space. I know its where the future is.

Owh and by the way, remember when I used a picture of mine with some weird plane-thing at the background? yes, that's a drone job and i can finally tell you all because the final product is out. It's a Discovery Channel episode and guess which shot was mine..
While I'm not steeming, I fly drones. That's the short story. This month has been particularly hectic, I am currently in the outskirts of Malacca near a petrol factory, or appropriately called an Oil Refinery and Processing Plant. Do you know that almost half of the stuff we use everyday from your lip balm to sulphur to your bbq charcoal to the roads all comes from Petrol?
And the factories that make them doesn't just turn on with a flick of a switch. It takes at least a week to turn it off, at least a month to clean the insides of the furnaces and exhausts and pipes and whatnot and then another week minimum to start it up again. And i've been hired to provide drone services during this period.
It's a daily thing, and any day I am not in the fields flying the crafts, I will be doing maintenance, data analysis. A taxing job, but one that i enjoy.
I can't show you my work as there is NDA involved but here's another example of the drone i fly in another place.
There's that. I just wanna put it out there as to why I havent been online for some time. I definitely still keep on eye on the community though. I very amazed at how #Teammalaysia is growing now (We have an actual community bot now!!) so if you are a Malaysian and wants to be in a community, join us!!
