Greeting to the steemit community! my name is Fabio (spartako) and I live in Italy.
I'm computer engineer, Phd in artificial intelligence, and I follow cryptocurrency from last 2012. I was shocked about bitcoin and the incoming revolution.
At the end of 2013 I read many articles of bytemaster (
I heavily invested in bitshares and became a delegate/witness with the spartako nick name.
The tech behind was really incredible but there were done many mistakes and many lessons in that journey.
I had big hope in bitshares 2.0, I joined almost all beyond bitcoin mumbles and I created a telegram bot (spartako bot) for monitoring witnesses behavior and other tools.

After many month of struggling and seeing the price falling down I lost some hope and concentrate back to my day job
...and I lost the steem boat :( when steem was announced I was a little bit disappointed with bytemaster (
In last days the steem network exploded, and started to gain huge traction. I believe this is one of first real use case of blockchain in the contest of social network and it could disrupt the classical centralized model.
So I'm back in the crypto world, I ready to write code and fight for freedom with you!
