Get To Know Me(ne) Challenge

Steemit Legend Hive account@anomadsoul issued a challenge while we are unforking. Read about that here:

My good friend Hive account@coruscate challenged me to enter, and there is no way I could let her down. So here are roughly ten Steemit posts I have collected, a smattering of random but meaningful ones that come to mind immediately to help new followers get to know me.

This is the oldest post I can remember writing. There were probably posts before it, but I think this set the stage for my niche on Steemit and it stands the test of time. Although as everyone knows that looks back at their writing, it sometimes makes you want to cringe as your style evolves and changes :)

I tried to organize these in rough chronological order...

Why Goldmoney Will Change the World:

The case for exchanging some Steem for gold (keep in mind there have been platform changes on Goldmoney since 2 years ago when I wrote these, so some of the information is obsolete)

Why You Should Turn Some of your Steem into Gold:

This is a wrap up of my #goldmoneytshirttour of 2016. This was a transformational year of my life. Sorry some of the photos are upside down, they weren’t originally when I posted!

I’m including this 7 part series of my trip to Maui because that is when I really starting blogging on a daily basis:

This epic day I met Hive account@ned within hours of receiving a #steemsilverround and got to get it in his hands:

Here is the 2017 #goldmoneytshirttour...

My account stats experienced the most growth after I started throwing big contests. Here is my first contest ever which was a wild success where people all over the world made Goldmoney signs:

Another contest that got insanely huge was the Mene 24k pocket dump challenge. Insane effort from Steemians in this one!

I Love Mene 24k Pocket Dump Challenge Winners Announced:

A super pivotal moment in my time here on Steemit was when I ran a campaign of Mene unboxings and Hive account@coruscate will always be my first of these! Hive account@coruscate set the stage for future awesome Mene Unboxings and more importantly has become a close friend and colleague here at my Steemit Jobby:

Probably one of my most proudest achievements here on Steemit is the enthusiastic way people have embraced the things that are important to me, two of which are Goldmoney and Mene. No one has been a more powerful, passionate advocate and ally than my friend IRL Hive account@goldfashioned. He has embraced the core missions of these companies and also I am proud to have turned him into an awesome Steemian.

**Note to Hive account@goldfashioned: please review this post for inconsistencies or errors.

Here is my first Steemit post about Hive account@goldfashioned right before he became Hive account@goldfashioned:

Finally, here are a couple bonus posts about my success interacting with former pro baseball play Jose Canseco, who happens to be a huge gold bug (and he also likes crypto).

Unfortunately, the goldmoney founders either weren’t born yet or were toddlers at this time, so this photo can’t be included in the #goldmoneytshirttour as no Goldmoney shirts existed back then.

Speaking of Jose Canseco, these posts are how I met another Steemit Legend Hive account@papa-pepper, so I am nominating him to join this challenge, as well as Hive account@goldfashioned and Hive account@ned . Because why not swing for the fences?

Thanks Hive account@coruscate for nominating me :)
