Approaching my first 1000 users on Steemit, sitting back for a moment to see where I'm at here, decided to re-introduce myself:
I have been a software engineer for many years. After a divorce, I've been rebuilding my life. After the 2009 financial problems in US, I decided to look for alternatives to investing in US dollars, and real estate. I mined LTC, and purchased bitcoin several years ago. The crypto market was not developing fast enough and I got bored with it, after investing in the early crowdfunding for Ethereum.
Years later, I got a call from Ned, he was looking for developers. I got interested in crypto again, and realized, my investments had worked out pretty well for me. And I realized I wanted to become a writer and work on blogging and development within the STEEM ecosystem, with so many apps already being written.
I joined Steemit 2 months go as a user, and have never looked back. I've invested in SP, and have been working on my blog, and trying to understand the finer points of the steemit community, and the STEEM ecosystem of applications.
I find it very exciting, a new killer app. I think it's the future of the internet in many ways, and I want to be a part of it.
20 years ago, I wrote a book, and uploaded it to the internet for free:
The Joys of an Herb Garden at Home
So I guess that makes me a Hemp advocate.
The first section is here, and I've updated it for LED lamps: https://steemit.com/marijuana/@surfyogi/the-joys-of-an-herb-garden-at-home-v3-part-1-of-3-updated
The other 2 sections you can find on my blog.
When I came to understand that hemp will cure cancer, and this knowledge has been hidden from us, it changed my life.
I've ran into Chris Harrigan on Steemit(!), an indie filmmaker, who made many independent documentaries. He created a documentary called Fighting Cancer with Cannabis Oil, and HE met Rick Simpson, and his community members.
He has several great videos up on steemit he's posted too. I hope to work with him in the future! See him at
Another Hemp advocate, Adrian Nantchev (@nantchev ) asked me to be on his Entrepreneur Podcast, so I said ok:
12:30pm PST - Wednesday, August 16, 2017
More to follow on that...
