He was a successful gambler by the age of 14, who turned into an entrepreneur, who turned into a Bitcoin millionaire, who is also an investor, and a programmer, and a social media marketing guru, and an incredible dancer, who happens to organize Steemit Meet-ups...

Sorry, I ran out of breath. Oh yeah, I should probably mention, he is barely 30 years old.

Hive account@sirwinchester has wowed the Steemit community with his limitless talent, and continues to invest his time and energy into the platform. For example, he hosted the first Steemit Meet-up in Hamburg, Germany last month.

So what is Hive account@sirwinchester's secret for success? Does he have any regrets? And what is his most embarrassing moment?

All of those questions are answered in this exclusive 20 questions interview!

20 questions with Hive account@sirwinchester

1 - For those who missed your "IntroduceYourself" post, what can you tell us about yourself in one sentence?

Hive account@sirwinchester - My passion is to learn new things!

2 - You've accomplished an incredible amount at a young age. What's your #1 piece of advice for those who are hoping to do the same?

Hive account@sirwinchester - Time and patience to invest in yourself. Knowing yourself is very important, so take some time to analyze yourself - your skills, flaws , habits and characteristics, to maximize your own potential .

If you understand yourself, you are more likely to achieve your goals because you can specifically tailor them to your character. If you know your flaws and accept them, you can find a solution to work with them in the best possible way.

Often, the answer lies within yourself – while other people search in the world around them, they don’t know that they already have the answer within themselves.

3 - How did you first hear about Steemit, and what convinced you to join?

Hive account@sirwinchester - One morning in July, I was checking coinmarketcap.com (like I do daily) and I saw that a new Coin named “Steem” had skyrocketed to the top of the charts. So of course, I was very interested in it and then checked out steemit.com.

4 - Who, in your opinion, has the most interesting blog on Steemit?

Hive account@sirwinchester - That’s a difficult question to answer – there are so many great content creators on Steemit! If I would have to name someone I would say Hive account@infovore, for one because of the SteemMag and also because his history is so interesting and really shows the power that Steemit has.

Hive account@the-alien is also a great writer, and I love the idea of his posts from a “strictly extraterrestrial point of view."

5 - What is your favorite song to dance to?

AND...

6 - What is your favorite song to listen to?

Hive account@sirwinchester - I have to answer these 2 questions together.

The problem is that when I have a favorite song to listen to, and I create a choreography to it, I listen to the song so often that it’s not that special anymore and I end up enjoying it less than in the beginning.

That’s why I have certain songs I only listen to, or that I specifically dance and create choreographies to.

It would be way too hard to name a single song, but in general, I enjoy classical music (to concentrate) besides the “mainstream” Hip Hop & RnB.

7 - You get to have dinner with three other people, living or dead. Who are you eating with?

Hive account@sirwinchester - Einstein, Gandhi, Sir Alex Ferguson.

8 - Most of your Steemit posts earn anywhere from $300 to $2,500, but there are a couple that have earned significantly less. How much do the financial rewards matter to you?

Hive account@sirwinchester - Of course the financial reward on Steemit is not the most important part, but also not completely uninteresting.

I think it matters about 50% - because you give up other things in exchange for working on Steemit posts. Those other things could have generated income, so if you replace them with Steemit, it’s important to have a replacement for that income as well.

9 - Do you have any regrets in life?

Hive account@sirwinchester - All the mistakes that I made have shaped me into who I am now. Life is an experience, and you have to make mistakes in order to appreciate things. That’s why I don’t regret, I stand by mistakes and always try to become a better version of myself.

10 - What's your favorite football (soccer) team?

Hive account@sirwinchester - Manchester United.

11 - Who is your favorite athlete?

Hive account@sirwinchester - Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

12 - The Germany Steemit Meet-up looked like an incredible event! What tips would you give to anyone hoping to host their own meet-up?

Hive account@sirwinchester - It shouldn’t be too dull! I think a mixture between presentations and some time to chat / get to know each other works best.

Food is also a good idea, everyone is more content with a full stomach.

And apart from that, it should contain information for both new people that might not even have a Steemit account yet, and information for the Steemit “experts."

13 - What's your favorite quote?

Hive account@sirwinchester - There are so many amazing quotes out there! But one I specifically like is: “Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.”

14 - When you were gambling at a young age, what was the most impressive bet you ever made?

Hive account@sirwinchester - Like I explained in my IntroduceYourself post, I always played “football manager” as a kid, I knew all the teams and all the players.

When I was 14, I gave my Dad a tip what to bet on (since he always lost) and he won 36k with that bet.

I remember getting my room totally remodelled after that!

15 - In your opinion, what is the best thing about Steemit?

Hive account@sirwinchester - Getting to know so many interesting people!

The content is so much more interesting and intellectual than on other social media platforms, which is what I really enjoy. Also, the community is much more supportive and there is only a small amount of hate.

And we’re only in the Beta version, I’m looking forward to the final version!

16 - In your opinion, what is the worst thing about Steemit?

Hive account@sirwinchester - I think mistakes can and should happen on Steemit, because you can then analyze and improve them. There are many things on Steemit that could be tweaked, and that’s okay, because the final version of Steemit will become even better.

17 - Where is one place you'd like to travel that you've not yet been?

Hive account@sirwinchester - New Zealand.

18 - Who is your biggest inspiration in life?

Hive account@sirwinchester - My own dreams are what inspire me the most, and keep me going!

19 - Tell us about your most embarrassing moment.

Hive account@sirwinchester - Well, I can’t tell my MOST embarrassing moment because my mother also reads steemit ;)

But I can tell you another story:

When I was 15 years old, me and some friends were going to a birthday party. One of my friends took his Dad’s Mercedes, so we drove to the party in that car (In Germany you’re allowed to drive when you’re 18!)

As soon as we arrived at the party, the cops had already spotted us, and me and my friends had to be taken to the police station and stayed there until our parents picked us up.

My mom could’ve picked me up immediately but she let me wait 5 hours – maybe so that I would learn my lesson ;)

20 - What is one thing very few people know about you that you'd like to share with the Steemit community?

Hive account@sirwinchester - I normally don’t post much on Social Media, so I have already given the Steemit Community quite a large insight into my life.

Thanks so much to the talented Hive account@sirwinchester for taking the time to answer these 20 questions!
