@Neoxian: everyone's favorite resident Loan Shark and SteemIt man-of-money.
I had the pleasure of being able to ask him some questions, similar to my previous interview with @ReggaeMuffin (which can be read here).
@FatPandaDesign- "Neoxian - that's a pretty strange name you've got there pal. How the hell did you come up with it? Was it inspired by anything in particular?"
@Neoxian - "I made a blog post about this:
https://steemit.com/namegame/@neoxian/the-mystery-behind-my-name
The short answer is that I'm into cyberpunk. Futeristic cities in cyberpunk settings often have names like Neo-Tokyo and Neo-Seoul. When thinking of a creative project I came up with the name Neo-Xian. It was cool, so I used it as my handle here. "

@FatPandaDesign - "Since I've met you in June, I've known you as the most notorious Loan Shark in all of the SteemLand. What made you choose this profession? Do you think you were a banker in a past life? Did you purposely trick the tooth fairy with fake teeth to stack up those extra quarters as a kid?"
@Neoxian - "Hey I never tricked the tooth fairy, all my teeth are real, but she was falling behind so I cut a deal to loan her some extra teeth so she could make the night's quota. It was deals like this that helped me build up the capital to be the shark you know today.

I got my start as a Steemit banker when I made this post:
https://steemit.com/loans/@neoxian/neoxian-s-payday-loans
This post was mostly meant as a joke but people took it seriously, so I became a loan shark."
@FatPandaDesign - "Pretend we live in the Stone Age and money is no longer a thing. What do you think you'd do for a living? Would you be the first to become a "Stone Loan Shark"?
@Neoxian - "If money didn't exist, I'd have to invent it. I'd probably be selling the secret of fire for beads and animals skins, and try to convince them that those shiny yellow rocks in the river have value."

@FatPandaDesign - "What's your favorite activity outside of SteemIt? Do you have any special hobbies or talents you'd like to share, or that you're particularly proud of?"
@Neoxian - "There is stuff outside of Steemit?? Hmm ok, I tend to be a workaholic, but I do enjoy video games. I recently got done playing "Pyre" and I play a bit of Minecraft. Also into virtual reality."

@FatPandaDesign - "I gotta ask this one again for shits and giggles - What is the absolute craziest thing you've ever done in your life, legal or illegal? I want the juiciest shit you've got!"
@Neoxian - "That I'm willing to admit here? Heh, ok well one time I quit a perfectly good, high paying job to get away from it all and spend a month or two in this tiny town in Oregon. It was beautiful there, nice and quiet, but I eventually returned to civilization..for now."

@FatPandaDesign - "If you could commit any fucking crime and get away with it without any repercussion, what would it be?"
@Neoxian - "Oh this is an easy one. I'd break into Fort Knox just to see if all the gold really is there, and bust that story wide open."

@FatPandaDesign - "Last question - what are some current projects that you're working on related to SteemIt or crypto? What projects have you done in the past that you're most proud of" Feel free to share as many as you want, and links to each!"
@Neoxian - "Ok my current projects:
- I'm a Steem witness
- I run a delegation rental business
- I do loan sharking
- I'm involved with all sorts of minnow projects: PAL, Minnowsupport, Minnowboosters
