Hi All!
I'm CRĐ, and 2025 is the year I dive head first into web3 and the blockchain world. My main goal here on hive is document my journey to create content and tutorials helping others dive in like I am doing now.
Who I am:
I'm a father, a husband, network engineer, and a game enthusiast. I'm from the East Coast of the USA but have spent most of my adult life living in other countries. Currently my family and I call South East Asia home, but we never know what the next years will bring.
I love competition more than anything, whether it's me competing in my first white-belt BJJ Competition at 30+ Years Old, playing the thousandth game of Chess with my dad, or watching a small town soccer game - I don't care, I just love it.
I like to create content, both educational and entertaining, but what I like the most is to cast or announce any form of competition. I love the hype and the vibe of competitors preparing to take the stage. It makes me feel alive.
I'm excited to discover this community and hope to provide valuable content here.
How I Got Here:
My journey to hive began with a friend who works at https://e4e.gg/ recommending me to try the game Gods Unchained:
Finding myself with little understanding of the game/meta had me heading to reddit to find a community and I found a crosspost by 
I've been a month down this path and am having a lot of fun, but I feel like I'm the newest player in a community full of seasoned veterans! The GU discord community has been very welcoming to me and despite some issues existing with the game it feels like a place I want to stay as I continue my journey into Web3.
Where I Go Next:
I plan to create the content that I felt was missing or outdated as I begin my GU journey in hopes that other new players can have an easier time joining the community, and have a fun experience with the game before as they decide if it's worth their time and money.
My Beginner Series outline in a rough priority order.
- Blog Post: What the in-game Tutorial Doesn't teach you
- Blog Post: Don't Sleep on The Star Store
- Blog Post: Get Rank 7 100% F2P (Welcome Set Strategy)
- Blog Post: Introducing Vlog Series and combating Ladder Anxiety
- Vlog Post: Gameplay examples with Welcome Set [Start a Series]
- Blog Post: Rank 7 but still can't earn? [Part A: Scholarships]
- Blog Post: Rank 7 but still can't earn? [Part B: Deck Rentals]
After I get this content written out, I will then try to redo it in the same order as video content, except for the Gameplay examples which I feel must be video right away.
Want To Help?
I'm a very new player in this game so I have a unique but very limited view of it, please reach out to me if you feel you can increase my efficacy.
Cheers,
CRĐ
