It's good to meet you, my fellow Steemian!
The cypto-space is still so small, at only 200 million people world wide as of 2017.
All Steemians are one of the first humans to begin building "a world of we", from the already decaying rubble of "the world of I".
I admire you for that!
Blockchain enables "radical inclusivity" for financial services and Steemit's unique approach has made the benefits of blockchain for blogging accessible to anyone with internet.
I am serious when I say I am proud to be here!
So what am I doing for the decentralised community?
I am rebuilding the stale business model of donation dependent, global charities using blockchain and virtual reality to create an extension of Dan Larimer's Decentralized, Autonomous Co-Operative which has community wide charity elections and tournament proceed donations. Think esports and the classic Olympics had a baby in VR and you can bet on sports match outcomes.
A Decentralised, Autonomous, Charitable Co-Operative (or DACC).
Users can speculate on their own skill at sports games in VR or optionally spectate and speculate in VRE tokens on match outcomes. Users can also set percentages of speculative winnings to be donated to charity alt coin addresses.
This just boils down to "I want to make the world a better place" in the Brock Pierce sense how does my objective benefit positively 1 billion people? I don't know yet fully, but it's been a fun journey so far finding out! I can explain more if anyone is interested about my VR DACC. I'm pre ITO right now, presale sometime in Q1 2018.
A bit about me:
I like to write. I also like to write code. I drink a lot of milky tea with honey.
I was the one of the first Oculus VR devs on the scene in 2013/2014. Now I mainly code virtual reality apps, before that I coded games in 3D for mobile and web and before that LAMP stack style web sites. I've traded on Forex markets before bitcoin was invented. I was an early miner. I accrued a whole 0.8btc as an enthusiast from CPU mining and then GPU mining back in 2011-2012. I since wiped my drive with my address and holding back in 2013, which I now thoroughly regret!! :( Still I am a fan of live and learn.
Speaking of learning, I learn a lot from reading. I am a fan of Neal Stephenson, Bill Bryson and De Botton.
When I'm not delving through the Matrix in a code frenzy, I like to think about and research about all sorts of things from smart cities, psychology, health, crypto, ICO/ITO, tokenised virtual economies, travel, history, nano tech, epigenetics, biology, physics, BigPharma/BigAgro, mathematics, economics, fractal brain theory, virtual reality, game development and theory, EEG tech, hardware/wetware, philosophy, religion, spirituality, Modulated ultrasound techs (Ultrahaptics), 5G, SciFi, anthropology, archaeology, aliens, ancient civilisations, martial arts, Binaural beats, meditation and practices like heart coherence, dreamscapes and lucidity training, DMT Pineal interactions and the "pre-orbito frontal cortex" functions, electromagnetic theory, Schumann resonance and the ethers, radionics and more recently, Piezo electric effects on liquid crystal bio matrices (like us humans).
Karl Jung said "We are all lights of the world", yet the heat and infrared produced by your body is a form of light which means there is some actual truth to that statement. So thank you for reading and I'd like to part by saying, I am pleased to meet you as one of the "first lights of the crypto world space". Hodl!
