[ENG] My Introduction to Hive 🙃

Hello everyone.

I am a newbie here. Let me introduce my self formally. I'm Luis Ernesto from Havana, Cuba. @Ravenclawldz is my nickname because I love Ravenclaw house of Harry Potter and "ldz" from Luis Ernesto M. Díaz which is my full name. I am 17 years old. I love programming and technology since I was very young. I hate social networks, I am very careful with my privacy and personal data, with this post I make my full name public. 😅 Well this is me. Now let's dig deeper about me. 🙂

When I was 15 years old I started programming, since from a very young age I have loved everything related to computers. But despite this I wasted a lot of time not knowing how to start learning or what to learn first.

I started learning C/C++ creating basic programs like a calculator and other small projects, by then I was racking my brain trying to create something bigger but I didn't know what to do. But my desire to learn made me look for programming courses, books and communities. It was there that I discovered Telegram, my favorite messaging platform.

Within telegram you can find thousands of communities about programming, cybersecurity, graphic design, etc. In this way I discovered that I am good at #programming as well as #cybersecurity and graphic design. 😆💻

After a while testing my skills and discovering the things that I like. I started creating Telegram #Bots 🤖 first with C# then I specialized in #Python 🐍 and started developing different projects in this language. By 2022 my goal is to become an expert in #Python and #JavaScript.

Currently I don't have any active projects to show you but soon I will start creating a tool that may be useful to you and I will share it. 😃

In addition to programming, which is my hobby and sometimes my job, I am also very interested in #cryptocurrencies 🪙. I currently have investments in different cryptos and I would like to learn #trading 📉📈, even with basic knowledge. And for the future I would like to become a #blockchain developer. 🦾

Cryptocurrencies are more than an investment for me, they are freedom. From my country I cannot use platforms like PayPal, Stripe, etc. to receive payments for my services as a programmer due to the policies of the USA against my country Cuba, so working remotely was impossible for me, until I discovered cryptocurrencies and they allowed me not only to receive payments but also to acquire different services, for example: a domain on namecheap.com

I'm currently in high school preparing for final exams that start next week so I don't have a lot of time to spend on Hive right now 😢. So when I have time I will let you know more about me. 😊
