For days I've been thinking about what I could write about myself. Anyway, I live in Vienna, Austria and I like it. Maybe I'll write one or the other article about it. My second home is the Internet, so I graduated with a masters degree in ‘eEducation’ and worked as a trainer and coach for the last years, prior to that as a graphic designer. I am therefore very interested in design and photography as well as in new technologies.
Other interests would be the meaning of life, the future of mankind, the limitlessness of consciousness and other stuff like that. This is why I am starting a training-course as a hypnotherapist on Friday, because I have discovered a really brilliant method to help anyone. There will also be a report on this, maybe I will even report live from the training.
I am just quite satisfied with my life and I enjoy the good moments, only ten minutes to work, paying a lot of money for my apartment, but enjoying the luxury to live in the middle of the city on the area of an old castle, just like living in the countryside. Here is the view from my kitchen window. Some months ago I joined a 'urban gardening project' in the neighborhood, I now have my own vegetable patch right in front of my window, what more could you ask for? (Except a Tesla, perhaps.)
I have no experience with cryptocurrencies yet, but this is changing. I think, everyone now has heard about the current bitcoin hype, the coming cash abolition will push this topic dramatically.
When I discovered Steemit a few weeks ago, I was not only enthusiastic, but fascinated by the idea and the potential that comes with it. I will probably write about it more often, especially because I was quickly convinced that the genius of using social media content, instead of just generating cash with mining, would put everything else aside. This opens up possibilities for people from poorer countries which cannot be foreseen today, a completely new kind of development aid becomes possible, crowdfunding becomes easier than ever. For me this idea is the birth of Social Networks 2.0!
A year old, Steemit is currently also very fast forward with DTube, Dsound, Chat, Tokens for any blog ... really amazing.
A quite different topic, which concerns me, is the clear fact that platforms like Facebook and Youtube try to prevent unwanted opinions or simply delete them. I think this screenshot of one of my Playlists on Youtube is meaningful enough. In this respect it is, of course, more than welcome if Steemit is free from the new-fashioned censorship rage. In Germany and Austria also, it is now hate speech, if one is not agreeing with what the government does.
Originally, I was a apolitical person, but I will not let go to the right of freedom of speech. Above all, since the beginning of the year 2014 I have noticed that the so-called coverage in the mass media is the "right" truth, while another point of view easily is labeled as "fake news".
"The freedom of speech is a human right and the foundation of a free, democratic society - politics must not make it a subject of negotiation" Heinrich Riethmüller, October 2017
But this is not all that bad, as long as there is enough time to celebrate life and get to know nice people like @ Steemit. The enthusiasm and spirit here are refreshing and contagious. I am very happy to participate from now on.
