I figured I should really do an introductory post for my account on Leofinance. I have actually been following the progress here from the early days and because I am not really a finance content creator the only way I could become involved was by commenting and buying some LEO and miners. I must say I have been very happy with this decision and I am now well on my way to becoming a successful crypto trader.
So who am I
My main account on Hive is @ammonite and there I have a blog where I share my sculpture, film and maker work. I have worked in the world of sand, snow and ice sculpture since 1996 and am slowly going through the process of documenting each and every one. I know this content would not be of much interest to people here and so I have created this second account @ammonite.leo to curate and learn more about the world of trading and crypto. I love technology and what is going on with blockchain and since last year has put my work as an artist into hibernation my mind needs thing to exercise it so I hope to be a bit more involved and maybe even talk about the lambo I will buy with my LEO when it moons.
What do I bring to the table
To be honest not much really, Even though I have been interested in blockchain since around 2010 I have never been too interested in the money-making side. In the early days of Bitcoin, I mined a few on my home computer, lost interest for a while and reformated the hard drive, goodbye bitcoin, easy come easy go.
My next interest was in the Maidsafe network. I don't hear much about it anymore but it was trying to create a decentralised autonomous data network and actually dates back to way before the current blockchain revolution. It is still being developed but I think they have missed the boat in this fast-moving world.
One thing I may be able to bring to Leo is my thirst for knowledge. I will ask questions every now then and hopefully through the answers help educate others in my position. I have nobody in the real world to talk about my obsession with Blockchain and crypto and I am sure there are many who are afraid to ask the stupid questions. I pride myself in asking the stupid questions.
I also enjoy trying to curate manually and spread the reward pool far and wide. I believe this will be good for the sustainability of the community.
There seems to be a lot going on with LEO and its satellite projects and I am excited to do what I can to support this community and learn some new skills along the way. The images in this post are some of my sculpture work, My alter-ego will continue sharing these in my other blog on Hive but I hope that now and again I will have something interesting to share here as well, maybe I will make some sculptures about crypto.

I thought you already did an intro a mont ago
Hi, No, Not a proper one. I created this account a few weeks back and made a post about why I had done it but I thought I should really do a formal introduction and talk a bit about myself and my interests in this community. This time I also used the introduceyourself tag. I think there will be a lot of new faces in Leo and wanted to give my alter ego a proper start for those that may be interested.

They could have declined the rewards
Always nice to see a fellow creative join the tribe. Your work is awesome and I remember interacting a long time ago ( in the Steemit days ).
Impressive to hear that you started in this space in 2010.
I must say that I often feel like an ugly duckling in here - among the finance guys / girls - even though I have been living off crypto been all-in since mid 2017 ( a week after my eyes were opened, my first serious crypto conversation ), mainly because I'm first and foremost a creative.
Looking forward to interacting with you and your content once again.
Welcome :<)

Hi, Yes, I remember the name. Good to see you still around. I have always had an interest in technology and the internet since my first computer the Sinclair ZX81. I think the arts and technology go hand in hand for me and am so happy that I found Steem/ Hive as It really brought them together.
I am far from being able to live off crypto but that is the dream to not have to worry about my finances so I can continue being creative.
Of course, as an artist, I am pretty terrible with money but hope that I can learn from the good folks here.

Cool to hear that your first computer is from the year that I was born in and thanks for reminding me that I will reach the ripe age of 40 this year ;<)
I agree that the arts and technology go hand in hand but making the shift to digital art often feels off to me ( even though I've been a filmmaker for many years too ). I keep moving back to analog.
It's my creativity that brought me to the blockchain / crypto though and I'm pretty happy for that.
I hope and trust you will find a way to turn that around. You didn't end up here without a reason.
Tell me about it. I'm doing all I can to change my messed up money story around and am getting there step by step. As a creative, my posts on those subjects might be helpful for you.
If you can find the time, I invite you to check out this recent post by me:

See you around :<)

Thank you, yes, I think LEO is one of the more exciting communities on Hive at the moment due to the fast rate of development. Although I may not have much to add at this point I hope I can learn to start putting my crypto to work.

My advice is to find a lot of free time, because you won’t want to go out of here.

Leo community will feed your thirst for knowledge

Most of the stuff I read flies over my head and everything is changing so much from day to day it can be hard to keep up with all the developments. But. I am slowly but surely getting there
Like you, I am very bullish on all which Hive and Leo have to offer. I am also sure that if you build it they will come.
Thanks, Nathan
