Trash to Treasure: I am now on HIVE

[ecohive]

I am excited to introduce myself to the Hive community.

My name is Olatunji, and I am a passionate Nigerian entrepreneur, Recycling advocate, Blockchain lover, Football enthusiast, Tech enthusiast, Finance geek, and Science lover.

What I Do

I own a plastic recycling business based in Nigeria. We collect, sort, and bale PET bottles for manufacturers who further process them into finished goods at the same time creating jobs and cleaning the environment in a sustainable way.

I am also a tech enthusiast with intermediate knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and a bit of solidity. I am a great lover of football with Arsenal being my favorite club

I also love stocks and tend to analyse the Nigerian stock market which I believe is still undervalued.

My university days as a science student shaped me into my diverse thinking and you will see me post a lot about the latest happenings in the science world.

Things you will find on my blog

I will share original posts on recycling, latest tech news, science breakthroughs, financial analysis on Nigerian stocks and my opinion on certain cryptocurrencies coupled with some football contents.

I will also share videos of recycling operations from my recycling hubs and some live coding videos. I intend using 3speak.tv for that

My Mission on Hive

Hive stands for everything I and my business stand for:

• Decentralized ownership and Immutability: I intend integrating blockchain technology to my recycling business. This will enable users track their plastic waste from source to the final product. They can be rest assured that their plastic waste isn’t dumped somewhere or in the ocean.
• Cryptocurrency rewards: I look at rewarding users that recycle with us with blockchain tokens (Bep20). However, with smart contracts on Hive, I might just launch the crypto reward here.
• Real impact: My recycling business is providing impact just like Hive. We not only keep the community clean but also create jobs and also fulfilling 6 SDGs.

I am here to share value and connect with like-minded users.

Welcome to the Hive community @ecohive!
We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.

Seven suggestions to consider:

1. Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
2. Use your active key only for wallet transactions, Keychain, Peaklock, and Hivesigner,
3. The master password and the owner key are only used to reset compromised passwords,
4. DO NOT lose your password or keys; copy and store offline,
5. Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own.
6. An introduceyourself tag is used only once , and
7. DO NOT OPEN any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.

If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or if you have any questions, there are informed Hiveans available who can help you; you can click to go to The Terminal in Discord here:

Have fun and happy Hiving!

Hi @ecohive welcome to Hive. I'm @palomap3 from Lovesniper OCD team.

I'm curious to know how you found out about Hive? If a friend recommended it to you, it would be good to mention his username so he knows you've arrived. You have an unusual profile here, it will be very interesting to learn about recycling materials. Here is some useful information and links so you can start exploring. Good luck!

Thank you for the information @palomap3. I came across a post on Twitter about paying for services using crypto enabled card. The link brought a post made on hive.

That's how I learnt about the website and tried researching for days before writing this introductory post.

I have gone through the communities incubation program. I will check the post guidelines and rules of the programming community. It's something I am interested in

Oh, getting here on your own is not for everyone, I know that well because I didn't know anyone who could help me when I started either. In the newbies's guide I linked to in my previous comment, you'll find lots of information. Take your time and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

Welcome to #Hive #Olatunji .

I am happy to hear that you are going to advocate on recycling.

That word struck me because I am in that field. The recycling world has witnessed a lot of evolving in Nigeria in recent times.

With the ban on the usage of take away foil in Nigeria. This has impacted positively to our firm and as such increasing productivity and diversion to the use of rubber take aways and rigid boxes as gift items in Nigeria.

Woah, I will be happy to read from you.

By the way, feel free to reach out and build relationship with those with quality years of experience scattered in different communities.
