Hi everyone 😀
I`d like to start with thanks for taking the time to read my introduction. This is quite literally the first time for me doing something like this while beforehand I was always against all these social networks and tech data collection behemoths. But with Hive I kind of trust the Blockchain.
Also thanks to &
for giving me the idea to do an intro post.
My name is Timo and I`m currently 33 years old, which is actually quite old when I think about the fact that I have been in different gaming communities for ~21 years already. I am happily married and I have one daugther of 2 years and one son who has been born last week. We live in Germany.
Thats me, my wife and our daughter for her birthday last month:
And me and my newborn son after a quite short night (for me and my wife😅):
"Who I am"
In my professional life I used to be a business strategy consultant with the Boston Consulting Group but switched over towards a classical team leader position in the controlling department of a german electronic goods retailer to spend more time with my familiy
In my private life I`m very focused on spending time with my daugther and my newborn son (they are literally the best things that happened in my life /+meeting my wife/ even though it is not always easy) and I value honesty, integrity and fairness very highly
I`m also deeply interested in Science Fiction and Financial Planning / Investing.
For example: I write a monthly newsletter for my friends with important facts to know about Investing (e.g. "How does Inflation impact people with different wealth levels and why should you care") as well as a short summary of my focus company of the month.
I also tend to set myself regular learning targets to keep engaged with the world and learn new things. This project (Splinterlands, Hive, Blockchain) is the newest of my learning targets, because I really want to understand how such a community works, how it is powered by Blockchain and how it can impact my everyday life
I also love travelling the world with my wife allthough we still need to wait a couple of years for our childern to grow up a bit before we can resume our backbacking tours.
There is probably a lot more to tell but I don´t want to be too detailed. If you are interested to talk, feel free to send me a message or comment!
A couple of Examples from our travels for you so you can also enjoy the beauty of our world:
Whitehaven Beach in Austrlia (one of the best beaches worldwide)
Franz Josef Glacier in New Zealand
New York City at Night in the US
Borobudur Temple Compounds in Indonesia
Sunset in Bali
And for all of you, who took the time too read this post a short story of where my Nickname TimoreMoti comes from and what it means:
I started gaming in the tender age of ~12 and my first real game was CounterStrike at a friends computer. While playing this game for the first time I was so shocked by the weapons gunfire sounds that I fell out of the chair. And TimoreMoti is latin which roughly translates to "Moved by fear". Which is the fun point because I was literally moved by fear in falling out of the chair.
This story and my Nickname just kind of stuck with me for the last 21 years of my gaming history. You might say a slight portion of self-irony is never misplaced 😉
If you want to join me in my journey through Hive and Play-to-earn gaming (e.g. Splinterlands) feel free to "Follow me" or read my first post to check if you like my stile of writing:

So thanks for reading and please feel free to drop me a message if you want to talk. Especially if you want to talk about any of the topics I´m realy passionate about👍
