As I have been told is customary my first post here is my #introduceyourself post. My name is Luke and I am an engineering student at the University of Illinois and I am so excited to be a part of this community. Phew... boring part done. Lets get into my story.
About me: I grew up in a small town in central Illinois. For those of you not aware of what is in small town Illinois, you aren't missing much. Just a lot of fields of corn only broken up by a lot of fields of soybeans. While not the ideal place to develop a love of technology, that was exactly what my brothers and I did. We have always loved technology and are always pursuing what the next big thing is going to be. This is how I got introduced to cryptocurrency. My brother showed me BitCoin and I was confused what the point of it was, like sure there is a new way to store data why is it being traded for so much money. Since being introduced to it I have drug my feet getting involved with it but I have finally decided that I will give it a try... maybe.
I decided that if I was going to do this, I would need support from my team, THE Chicago Bears. So, before their game yesterday, I made a bet with myself that if they won I would start Steemit. Well, for those of you who follow the NFL, the then 3-9 Bears routed the Cincinnati Bengals 33-7 and here I am now.
Going forward: For a long time I have considered writing a blog of some sort. At this point I haven't nailed down exactly what I want to talk about so it may vary from post to post, but I will likely focus on sports, video games, and potentially book reviews if that is something people would be interested in. I look forward to seeing if people would be interested in this and getting feedback.
ILL!
Thank you for reading and welcoming me to this community.
