Hey y'all, I'm Nate!

I'm one of the new contributors at Homesteader's Co-op, but if you know me on steem, you know me as Hive account@nateonsteemit. I wanted to do a quick intro post to this audience before I started making additions to the content here (trust me, it's coming).

Words will have a hard time expressing how stoked I am to be given the opportunity by Hive account@sagescrub to post here, but I'm gonna give em a chance to.

Hive account@homesteaderscoop is an awesome thing that he's done, and I've been following since he announced his intent to create the marketplace this past summer. Now that it's finally a reality, it is far better than I had imagined back then. I was the first person to place an order from the site just a few days after it launched because I had started saving up as soon as that intro post dropped.

As he outlined, Hive account@sagescrub has made his contributors here beneficiaries on the posts we make. How awesomely generous!

Moving forward, I plan on using that blessing to benefit the steem homesteading community.

Anyone that knows me here knows I love greeting and helping new folks on the platform. From my introduction comments, where I recommend outstanding permaculture steemians to follow, to delegations like in the contest I linked (which is still ongoing wink wink...), I really enjoy helping folks fit in here. That's what I would love to do with this opportunity with Hive account@homesteaderscoop. I don't have a specific plan yet, but I have my wheels turning, debating whether that will include continuing or increasing delegations, funding accounts, or straight minnow support with my portion of beneficiary payouts. I'm not sure yet, but I'd sure love some input from the community. That's usually a good metric: to help the community, do what the community thinks is best.

The reason I enjoy helping new folks here so much is that it strengthens our community. The more active members we have on board here, the better. More people means diversity, and in permaculture, nothing beats diversity.

I'm looking forward to seeing what this new opportunity can achieve! Thanks, Hive account@sagescrub, and thanks to you, the readers, supporters, and community members here on steem.

Up next, I'll explain why you should actually be using your crypto (preferably at Homesteader's Co-op), even in a bear market!

Be blessed,
Be fruitful,
Stay relevant.

Nate
