Allow me introduce myself! --- TGNT

Hello everyone!
Shawn convention- small.jpg

I stumbled across Steemit through some random video on YouTube while doing some research on different cryptocurrency options as I'm always interested on seeing what is up and coming. The idea of a single block chain that was able to be used by multiple websites and encouraged the rewarding of the users sounded like a great opportunity and community to get involved with.

As seems to be the consensus I don't believe the platform is not perfect currently as the power has become overly concentrated however the idea that they started from was solid in trying to reward quality content by paying out content creators based on upvotes and with the idea that people with the greatest stakes in the platform would have greater concerns with up voting quality content.

As things stand currently I do believe that the platform will be better served through a popular vote system which lends it's self to a more content/creator popularity. I know some around here worry about the idea of the site just becoming a popularity contest, or fear creators from other platforms bringing over their fans and taking over the platform and pushing out creators who have helped build the platform. I would have to say that this is short sighted however as an influx of participating members is exactly what the website needs to increase it's traffic. Also while people enjoy the being a big fish in a small pond it should not be looked at as large fish being added to a small pond but of the size of the pond expanding and yes, that means more whales, but it also means many more minnows who are able to feed multiple streams. Remember just because I'm a fan of one person doesn't mean that I'm not going to find other creators that i enjoy.

As for my own creator space I plan on opening multiple channels and trying to build content for them which fits a particular niche so that if you like one article or video you will likely enjoy other items I have to put out. For this username TGNT (Tech, Games, News, Thoughts) I will be focusing mostly on up and coming news for technology and games as they are fairly interlinked, however there are sure to be some opinion pieces from time to time.

I appreciate you letting me borrow your eyeballs for a few minutes and look forward to sharing more with you all in the future.
