This is me sayig hello in #introduceyourself Sign has been made with love and care by my two young sons, Monty and Casper. Thanks kids :) EDIT: The sign seems to be have been a roaring success so they will split the post donation. In time, I'll get them to make a post themselves with how they spent their steem.

I used to be a personal trainer for the last 15 years, that was until a friend introduced me to blockchain technology. Since that day, I've never looked back. EDIT 2: I made another post here but it'll be the one and only fitness related post I do on Steem :)

I'm excited about how the blockchain is going to change the landscape for my children and it's only going to be for the better when you look at the core concepts, principles and opportunitues that await in this emerging area of technology. 

Things I like:

Distributed Cloud Storage 

I'm a huge advocate of distributed file sharing. Namely: 

http://www.siatech.org/ 

https://www.storj.io/ 

https://www.Decent.ch 

Just for transparency, I'm invested in the top two as well as operate Storj Share on my computer, renting 100gb of space to the beta testing. The developers in those 3 incredible projects are fantastic and I encourage anyone who wants to participate in the anti-dropbox movement to check them out. Together, we can all share our hard drive space with each other andget rewarded financially, cutting out the middleman whilst retaining privacy and control. 

Crypto Asset Project. "Bits N Crypts" 

My main project is building a decentralised organisation tracking blockchain investments and crypto assets where members can invest as much or as little fiat currency as they like to develop the groups assets. The idea is that fiat goes in but we try our hardest to keep funds in Cryptos as much as possible from an ideological viewpoint. With upcoming apps such as https://www.plutus.it meaning the cryptocommunity will have to cash out less and less to "dirty fiat", good times are ahead. Keep it in the family (community) so to speak.  

The organisation will have the ability to make effective decisions is predicated upon “the Wisdom of Crowds”. Given a sufficiently diverse group of people able to make independent decisions, the collective group of investors will more reliably make smart decisions more accurately than any one person with a high level of investment experience. 

All you need is: 

- To be independent if other investors 

- Have a wide variety of opinions 

- Can make fast decisions based on the information at hand. 

In a nutshell, it's an investment group for everyday folk who don't know much about Cryptocurrencies and want to learn as they go by contributing to the actual proposals for investment. It's built on the www.wings.ai platform and will operate as a DAO, albeit a much more intimate and cosy creation. 

Why am I on STEEMIT? 

I'm the official FACEBOOK HATER. It's evil, it's up to no good, it makes so much money from all of its users and it's the biggest attack on privacy in the last 10 years. I use twitter in small doses as a conduit to those people I like listening to but I also create interaction and connection to other like minded souls. I had hopes for the Ethereum social media start up Akasha but that project seems such a long way down the road. I then spotted Steemit a few weeks ago making waves as immediately thought "these guys are actually doing it real time". So, that's me! 

All that's left to say is that I'm Melbourne based, I love my life and my family and I'm here to learn as much as I can from other people on all manner of topics not just the based on the industry that I'm currently focused on. 

Finally, a massive well done to the Steemit team, you guys are amazing. Can't wait for phase two marketplace, private messaging and to see how far you can push this ecosystem.
