Hi fellow Hivers!
Today i realized i was still to post an introduction about myself so here it goes.
I was born in Portugal, in a central territory near the city of Coimbra. Most my life was pretty ordinary, i lived with my parents up until i was 19 or something around those lines, i was a sports kid also, running and walking or riding a bike was always a favourite for me. I started to work summers pretty early in life around 15 waiting tables and other jobs i would find.
I went on my own way as soon as i could for some reason rules and family life much as i like it for a part would not fit my weird sleep cycles and lifestyle i clashed a bit with my parents on matters of money for example. My option to work online and make affiliate business did not help, i was urged to get a "normal" job to a point i decided to move out and start my own way.
I was always interested in value and the question of value, after a period of sales door to door i was tight on cash and had some research done and found out about poker online and online casino, both the player side and then i found out the affiliates programs.
This changed a lot for me the dollars i received really held a lot of value in the Escudo used at the time in Portugal so for a time i did about 2 or 3 times the national average just on affiliate alone, i would also grind the lower limits and organize tourneys for my communities, was a great time.
After this came market segregation and i was no longer capable of driving traffic from the USA and other important territories and moved to casino online more. It was about this time i also found about crypto, some members on GPWA shared some links that lead me to BTC later on.
With the desire to do something new and the constant restriction imposed on online gambling decided to take some of this skills to the real world and started consulting for companies and firms wanting to expand their online presence and results, both doing some SEO targeted content or helping on selecting members for future digital teams.
Came a point in my life i got really sick with cancer, and that took some serious tool on my revenues and work capabilities for some years, rebuilding was not easy and had to postpone a lot of deals, objectives and ideas i had projected for that frame of time.
After being sick i got to work with a friend working with dogs and the outdoors to try and regain my former stamina and strength, no easy feat when you cant really be out in the sun according to the doctors i managed it anyway and for a time it helped my body recover some fitness.
This last few years i deal with my family, parents are not that young, i have been building some accounts on some online games, things like GodsUnchained and other stuff with ownership system for users. Concerning hive i actually first registered in 2018 but lost the keys for that account and interest at the time for a number of reasons. I am still very glad i am starting something here with all of you.
Other things to know, i love books, books are great to have, the older the book and the know how, the best bet to have in case SHTF scenario.
Did i mention i really like books? don't have enough walls for them in my house and my dads i am a hoarder of them 😘
I love metal and rock'n'roll i cannot think of a version of me surviving without it at all. I also love vinyl and collect some perky shining discogs rarities more to come in future post about collecting and music in general 😉
I am a total foodie, might be a cultural thing but for me at least one super meal home cocked a day is a must, along with some wine if possible. I love a good steak i love fish, fresh, from the river, the sea, any kind of bush meat, if it is dead i will eat it probably, i think you can count by one hand the foods i don't really eat. I strive to eat whole things, make my own pizza if i decide to have one, eat nuts, eggs and stuff i can actually see what it is, instead of a pack of donuts or a burger. I cook most my food and if possible i go and buy it myself.
I have a soft spot for meats and even more for shellfish...
I also have a keen interest on trying new stuff, this means that despite curry being among my least favorite flavours for some years i came to realize there are some curry dishes i actually enjoy like vindaloo lamb.
I am an avid cyberpunk fan, i love some groups out there i wont mention in detail, i believe in decentralization and i will try to the best of my abilities to help HIVE grow and grow myself in the process.
I sincerely hope one day to have the power to help others and also a firm believer i will get to meet some of you in person some day soon.
Always hard to talk about ourselves i probably miss some info some would like to know, feel free to use the comments, i will be happy to answer.
