Hey Party People!
This is the @Sandstorm and I’m strictly here for the beer, the conversations, the censorship free zone, and of course for the “social” part of the social media.

How I got Here!

I heard about this place through the Panama power couple: @hilarski and @anahilarski of 200Social.com fame. Their tireless promotion of the Steemit platform & Crypto Currencies on other social media venues has led me here to create an account and give this place a shot and see what it’s made of. Whatever you do, be sure to follow them, as their tips on wrangling social media alone are golden nuggets and well worth paying attention to.

The world as we know it is changing right before our eyes, we can all plainly see, and by browsing through some of the posts and tags here on @Steemit, I notice the positive differences as compared to places like Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube. The likes of which are censoring, banning, ghosting and creating a hostile environment for anyone not echoing the prescribed narrative of the moment that is being shoved down our throats by the bad guys.

Is Steemit perfect? Not likely, but it is fresh, and it is different, that’s something I’m sure we can all agree on. How different and how good is it? That is something that only time will tell. I am willing and eager to put some rubber to the road and test drive this platform and see what she is made of.

The interests that capture my attention more so than others, but not in any particular order of importance are: Food, Travel, Lifestyle, Health, Fitness, Spirituality, Truth, Science, Technology, Crypto Currencies and way too many more to list.

Good to have you on board and nice introduction, @sandstorm!
I fully agree on "different and fresh" when it comes to describe steemit. I´d furthermore like to add "powerful".
Looking forward to that beer and conversations :)

Great intro ! I also love beer with my bacon haha ! Its usually Molsons Canadian or Budweiser !! 🍺🍻🍺
Thank you so much @karenmckersie! I'm not too fussy with the beer or the bacon, I'm happy with whatever is available and on sale, maybe you can relate ;) Cool of you to stop by, thanks for the support.
Haha most definitly !! Bush beer is cheaper to buy but still tastes great and is usually what i end up with ! 👌
It's crisp and clean, a less filling type of beer :)
Your right !! I like it !👍🍺🍻🍺
I like your style :)
I like your style too ! Haha , glad to follow you and glad you joined steemit and followed me ! 😆😅👌👍
I'll crack open a cold one to that :)
Hi @sandstorm, welcome to Steemit! :-)
Hi @demotruk. Thanks for the welcome. It is very much appreciated :)
Ho welcome, "Resteemed by surfermarly" so credits go there too :)
Great intro I'm sure you will have an easy time here, you have already nailed the basics, great post, and I'm sure you can easily find topics related to your interests :)
Have fun, good luck and I'm laving you with the previous great intro post that left me stunned :) https://steemit.com/@steemitgecko go check out the blog it's "dead" but the articles there are good
Hi @j3dy! Thanks for dropping in and welcoming me aboard the Steem train. I'm interested in so many varying things as we all are, that just focusing on one, would be too boring, so it is my endeavor to go over them all LOL. That geckos blog looks interesting indeed, too bad it seems they've moved on from Steemit already.
You will definitely have fun then, there is a lot to dig through so to speak, but you are a sandstorm :D you'll do fine, keep in mind articles were getting thousands in payouts at a past time :D so we had some real gems, on the other end there are many 0.00 payouts that were awesome reads, it's a nice place even if there are too many bots in my view(i'd like to have people manually curating it's more fun engaging people than just counting votes and clicking buttons, seems like a monkey's job :D )
I agree on the engagement aspect. Right off the bat, I notice it is a generally friendly atmosphere and I like that. I've spent a lot of time on youtube comments and the trolling and negativity is overwhelming at times, so it's refreshing to have an engaging user base that actually interacts in a meaningful way.
Welcome to Steemit! Feel free to tag one of your posts a day with the wantwiserupvote tag so I can see it :) Details here.

Great to have you here with us! Looks like you know what you're doing already :)
Thanks @samstonehill! It's good to be here and I'm always learning or at least trying to :). It's really nice to find this place and be welcomed by the community in such a warm way. Have yourself a great day!
Heartedly Welcome @sandstorm! Looking forward to your posts! :)
Thanks a lot @holgermarkgraf! Your kind welcome here is very much appreciated :)
