Introduction for DCooperation Community from greatnorthcrypto

Hello, I go by greatnorth. I am a resident of Nunavut, Canada and reside above the arctic circle. I am new to the steem community as well as the DC community but look forward to fostering and growing this community into a great thing one day. What I like about the DC community is that it is multicultural with people from all walks of life taking part. I plan on spreading the word of Steemit to my local area to try and show people that cryptocurrency is more than just a "bit coin." I think the ease of use that comes from a platform like steem will help the people in this isolated community spread their stories and creations throughout the world. If someone could point me to a spot where I could buy steem stickers and trinkets to hand out I would be grateful. Preferably I would like to buy those things with Steem! I also plan on showing them the D Cooperation community so they are welcomed into the world of Steem gently and with open arms.

My general interests are diy electronics kits, 3d printing and D&D. There's plenty more than that, they tend to vary day by day though. I am starting a youtube channel dedicated to small electronic diy kits that I solder together myself. The kits are aimed at beginners which is great because I am a beginner! Oh. Retro video games. I'm a big fan of the older generations of videogames. Not that the new ones aren't great, but the old ones have a special place in my heart. That is what I want to use steemit for. A retro gaming review blog that helps you find hidden gems or relive the glory days of your youth without having to drag out the master system.

Please forgive my photo. My phone shut off from the cold before I could reframe for a better shot. That's another thing I want to work on. My photography skills are woefully lacking! I am standing on ocean ice in the photo facing shore. The chunky white blocks against the background are large pieces of ice heaved up and frozen in place. It's a little spooky for me to be standing on the ocean because I am originally from a place where the largest body of water is manmade. Now I'm zooming across the ocean on a snowmobile!

Igloolik is a small Inuit community in the northwest passage. A small island with about 1,800 inhabitants. There are two grocery stores and two convenience stores. There are several churches and even a hotel. There is three schools, but only two are utilized at the moment as the third school is nearing completion. Hunting is a very important part of life and it is not uncommon for the town to come to a stand still when a herd of animals has wandered close to our community. There is also a large scene of traditional Inuit carvers who work with stone as well as materials procured from the hunts, like the tusks of animals as well as the baleen and bones from whales. Being a northern community, the sun has set on us and won't return until around January 10th. But as you can see by the photo, no sun does not mean total darkness. Although that picture above was taken at noon.
