A hearty hello from Las Vegas!
Hello, hi, hola, and many thanks to anyone that actually reads this.
My name is Ardon and I am a 31yo from Las Vegas. I currently have 6 employees across two companies and started my first bitcoin company in 2013.
Online communities have played an important role in my life and upbringing ever since I can remember. Staying up late in middle school when the internet was still new was a mind-blowing experience. My first addiction was Everquest, which was an early hardcore MMORPG, where relationships mattered and raids were somehow conducted with 100+ people and no Ventrillo or Team Speak. I even had my first girlfriend on there. =P
I've started and developed many online communities over the years. I grew /r/startups to over 6-figure members, moderate the largest ICO subreddit (which is mostly now dead...Oof), have a fairly active Discord server, and my apparel company is community-driven through pseudonymous design ideas. I have learned online communities can be very special and it's up to its inhabitants to see the bigger picture. When we contribute toward the betterment of the group, magic happens.
I look forward to playing around with Steemit more and want to test out the live streaming functionality. These decentralized social medias are very important for the future of humanity. I hope Steemit is part of that.
Cheers to the new year! I appreciate anyone that takes time to follow me and will reciprocate. Thanks

STOPWelcome to Steemit! You have taken the first step in achieving many goals here at the crossroads of cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and social media. Consistent engagement is needed to progress and grow your following and influence. I am currently working on a weekly post to curate new users and providing them an introduction to the ecosystem. I have selected your post as one I will feature in an upcoming post! I explain this initiative on one of my previous post.
There are a number of great content creators on the platform to help you on your journey. I have recently ran into a great post by @roleerob that is great to get off to a great start here on the ecosystem. As I continue to expand this initiative, I continue to find great content and guides for new users such as this post from @finnian who not only includes a great step-by-step process of registering for #Steemit but also provides great security and engagement tips as well to help you on your journey. Another great user creating content for new Steemians is @paulag who is creating community backed video series on learning to navigate STEEM.
Keep your eyes out for these tips and references to help you on your journey to becoming a minnow! It is also a great idea to follow some of the great projects being built on the #STEEM blockchain. You can see these projects here. Some of these projects provide you the ability to interact and engage within the community and have the potential to provide rewards for your engagement. For example, @actifit is a fitness app that tracks your daily activity which you can post to the blockchain and earn rewards for your participation. Another interesting project is @steemmonsters which is a digital trading card game that enables you to collect and battle with the community all within the #STEEM ecosystem.
Lastly, a new initiative has just been launched by one of our top witnesses @gtg to support new users that become very active and need additional bandwidth to remain actively engaged in an effort to build enough Steem Power to grow your influence and interaction in the ecosystem. I would highly encourage you to visit his post for further instructions. I wish you the best in your future endeavors!
