Hey I'm Diego and I just found out about STEEM!

Hello Steeeem!!! My name is Diego and I was born in Venezuela.

I'm living in Miami since April 2015 and before that I was living in Toronto. Before moving to Toronto I spent 4 years living in Curacao. The reason why I have moved so much (for a conservative guy like me) has a name, Hugo Chavez. But we'll get into that in another post.

I've never really been a fan of social media, I'm actually just realizing that this will be my first social media post ever and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm a cryptocurrency aficionado, I found about all of this a couple of months ago. Funny thing is that friend of mine came to me early this year talking about a new thing called Ethereum, which ran a blockchain that would change the world. My reaction was to think that my friend had gone mad and he got into another crazy internet scam. Well, some months later I have become my friend and people think that I've lost my mind. I think I'm not the only one and many of you have gone through the same.

I have average computer skills, so if I told you that I understood completely what is happening on the blockchain I would be lying. I'm a trader, so I spend most of my day trading cryptocurrencies. I shouldn't spend most of my day doing that because I have a job, but ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

I found out about STEEM two days ago when I was doing some research for Factom and thought that this is what social media should be all about, quality content and getting rewarded for it. STEEM got me, a person who doesn't spend any time in social media, to read over 30 posts and submitting a new post in just two days. I'm the mainstream person that didn't believe in this and was reluctant to even considering reading about it, but now understands and believes that this is the future and this is the only way to go.

The future is here and it is now our job to get it out there so we can get other people like me to join!
