Howdy y'all , I like to start this intro by showing a beautiful beach and nice solar flared sun beamed weather. Before I continue the intro, be aware that my English writing may be horrible. ( U hve been warned )😁
INTRODUCTION
I am Loki, ( not because of influence of those Big movie production house ) this name/nick/game name has been with me since my teenage time. I started this name during the era of "Capcom Street Fighter 1" and also my neighborhood basketball among my peers. It may sound cheezy , but I have grown attached to this name and thus will maintain it during my time in HIVE. Thus my name is "LOKI".
I am from an era where we do things first and ask question later ( like installing a bed frame from IKEA without looking at manual , than when something goes wrong ; refer manual ) and thus why it took awhile to write this intro.😗
So, as I struggle to write this intro; I shall borrow a title that I used as refence I'm not sure what am I doing but I Guess I'll learn. I only learned about crypto this year from gaming, heard of it but never got into it. Everything about crypto is new to me and will take baby steps to absorb it all.

JOURNEY TO HIVE
I encountered HIVE around end of april 2022 through Splinterlands. I did my first post as testing trial for my own reference and saw a community for splinterland, and was wondering why so many people posting stuff. When I saw the HIVE token symbol next to their article , I assume they were getting SPS (splinterland shards ) and said to myself "Man, I need to write some blogs to get me some packs yo"
Truth be told, I did not know how to blog ( not because I don't have things to show); I like using visual images to show. After my 3 blog of showing boring data of my game, I stumble upon an app call CANVA for photo editing, and thus made some experiment blog on the splinterland community which eventually I got my first HIVE. I immediately log in to game and tried to purchase a pack, later I found out HIVE and SPS were totally different. ( hence the expression below) Further reading later found out I could do swap this to that.
WHY I MADE INTRO NOW
The "DO now question later style" made me to read more about HIVE and functions and I recently read an article Things Newbie should do ( which I sorta skipped a few steps when I first joined and blog). As courtesy and also my "GUNG-HO" style of doing my splinterland blog, I have to start from beginning which is doing my introduction.
Currently I just blog about my game ( SPlinterlands )on a weekly time to show my strategy and lineup which is more visual. Once am familiar about blogging and HIVE , maybe I dig in more. For now it's my splinterland progress and lineup . If I have violated any rules of conduct or have skipped any steps, do let me know .
That's all from me , feel free to drop a comment and ask me . Will try to answer as much as I could .
