As many of you have probably noticed, I write a lot of articles about precious metals, mostly silver. I have been using the #steemsilvergold (SSG) tag in my metals posts for quite some time, and recently started using the #metalsmaffia tag as well. I have been supporting the SSG movement ever since I found out about it, and I didn't even know there was official SSG membership at first. When I was nominated, sponsored, and then finally approved for membership, I felt and still feel honored to have been selected to be a part of this prestigious group.
I am a huge silver enthusiast, and do everything I can to promote the extremely undervalued highly metaphysical precious metal. What originally attracted me to SSG was the 
Hive account@steemsilverround's that were, at the time, being managed by 
Hive account@phelimint, and are now being handled by 
Hive account@sevinwilson. I came in during the middle of voting on the community design for the 2018 round. Not only did the design I voted for win (
Hive account@welshstacker's), but I even had a hand in the final cut for the design, suggesting the Steem symbol should be carved into the truck of the Steemit tree. I ordered 35/1500 of the 2018 rounds that should be here in a couple weeks!
A Steem Silver Round from the original 2017 rounds. I own 2 of these.
I then discovered 
Hive account@pit-bullion's amazing hand poured silversmithing, and the fact that he also produces Steem Silver Rounds of the hand poured variety. He also mints several other types of Steem silver and other silver, including a rare 5 oz Steemit silver bar, which I had to grab a couple of since there are only 25 of them.
I also have a lot of respect for 
Hive account@ray-brockman, 
Hive account@silverstackeruk, and the other leading members of #steemsilvergold for their continuous hard work on keeping this group together, and about precious metals. The level of regulation in this group that has recently been implemented is just enough to keep people from abusing the system, but not so much that it stifles creativity. I respect the philosophies and standards of practice expected from SSG members, and I will always do everything in my power to adhere to them (if I miss something let me know). One area of improvement I noticed, and something I hope members can take away from my SSG articles, is the the comprehensiveness of posts. I hope to lead by example and provide detailed, informative articles about metals that will help people learn and grow, and not just stare in awe at the gorgeous gold and silver (not that there is anything wrong with that).
In addition to #steemsilvergold, I am also a member of 
Hive account@tribesteemup & 
Hive account@dynamicsteemians. Hive account@tribesteemup is an anarchist initiative set forth by 
Hive account@kennyskitchen to promote quality content creators that support healing the Earth, benefiting humanity, the Steemit platform, and other conscious topics. This group has been the main driving force behind most of my success on Steemit, and I am forever grateful and honored to be continuously exchanging energy with the wonderful Steemians involved.

Hive account@dynamicsteemians is a minnow support group created by 
Hive account@dynamicgreektk to help little fishies spread their fins. This group has also given me extreme aid in expanding my messages of truth on Steemit. Because of this group, I have been able to reach so many more people with a conscience, and have even been able to get to a point where I feel I am now helping the new minnows coming into the group. I have been made an ambassador and have my own channel on the Dynamic Steemians Discord Server (https://discord.gg/h4rvKc), with silver, cannabis, sustainable farming, and music subsections. I have had the pleasure of meeting so many other amazing Steemians through this group, including 
Hive account@baa.steemit who digitized my 
Hive account@elamental emcee logo, and 
Hive account@dynamicshine who held a contest in the comments of my article about "The Difference Between A Post" & A Publication"..
With the support of these three groups, 
Hive account@adamkokesh, and my support back to them, I feel pretty secure about my future, and the future of these groups on this platform. I feel the showering of blessings I have received, and will never take them for granite. You can always expect quality metals publications from me 
Hive account@ssg-community, at least a few times a month, if not several. I post articles nearly every day, sometimes twice, and never just shit out a post. Even my shorter ones have some kind of detail and/or story, and the majority of the images I use are my own original photographs (outside of this post, a lot of other's work in this one). I look forward to getting to know you all better and to entering the SSG Mega Raffle you guys are holding. I was the 13th Steemian to join the 
Hive account@my-precious curation trail, well before I was ever a member, I am planning on delegating some SP to the Hive account@ssg-community bot to get on a voting tier, and have already joined the 
Hive account@rewards-pool project outside of SSG created by Hive account@ray-brockman and Hive account@pit-bullion, which is doing fantastic btw!
"You just got splashed by Hive account@rewards-pool!" Fight Club is one of my favorite movies btw.
I just wanted to give a BIG THANK YOU, not only to the Hive account@ssg-community, but to Hive account@tribesteemup, Hive account@dynamicsteemians, Hive account@kennyskitchen, 
Hive account@alchemage, Hive account@adamkokesh, 
Hive account@jamesc, 
Hive account@dynamicgreentk, Hive account@baa.steemit, Hive account@dynamicshine, Hive account@pit-bullion, 
Hive account@sevin-wilson, Hive account@phelimint, 
Hive account@eagle-spirit, and many other Steemians that have helped me expand so much on this platform. Blessings and salutations to you all!
