My name is ogbaji Courage Daniel, my brand name is 'Godcolors'. I got into hive few weeks ago courtesy of @bhetea01, thank you for bringing me onboard, you are the real OG.
I am a digital wealth enthusiast. the digital space has come naturally for me as the first intuitive choice for as long as I can remember, when it comes to problem solving, skill development and passion. I will simply say the digital space resonates with me strongly. 
VALUES
I am a devout Christian. A lover of Jesus and his church and a preacher of his gospel. My ideology and perspective towards life is shaped by the word of God and the teachings of scripture. I believe that there's nothing more important in life than living according to the will of God and the word of God. I take so much delight in sharing my faith with others, especially the young ones, and see them walk in their purpose. The major part of my life is committed to the work of God and the ministry of reconciliation. 
GODCOLORS(BRAND)
As one very enthusiastic about the web3 space, Godcolors is a platform where I engage web3 affairs. I provide services for web3 Devs and users using several media platforms. I also run a local crypto exchange service where crypto is exchanged for fiat and vice versa.
STRONG NICHES
•Financial markets trading
I consider myself first a trader before any other thing. I started engaging the financial markets in 2017, After several failed investments in some cryptocurrencies. I was frustrated and almost saw the entire space as a mistake I should have avoided, but thanks to a few folks around me. I hung around long enough to fall in love with the charts. It is true when people say the market has the capacity to get you hooked up and never let you go. Right now I can't picture myself outside this environment.
•Blockchain and cryptocurrency
My journey as a trader actually started with cryptocurrencies. It was in the days when crypto started gaining a little traction and the hype was all over. The days when shit coins became a thing and news of coins doing 10,000 - 500,000% was everywhere. I got caught up in that wave, had a few good runs but ended up having my ass whipped due to my amateur mistakes. I knew little or nothing on fundamentals and basics. My journey started notwithstanding and I can say I've explored to a great extent, the lengths and widths of the space.
The concept of Blockchain technology blew my mind. The idea of decentralisation and the possibilities it presented compared to fiat was so cool that it got me hooked!
I believed from that moment and up until now that BLOCKCHAIN IS THE FUTURE.
From decentralisation, to immutability and security, to trustless transactions, supply chain, health care, governance and voting, digital identity, web3 and ownership, finance and more. Blockchain cuts across a lot of industries and sustains an approach for Global reach.
I've spent most of my time from 2017 till now, studying and engaging blockchain technology. Best decision of my life.
• Web3 marketing
Because of my involvement in Crypto, I've had the opportunity to work with several web3 projects, from social-fi, to DeFi,DAO, gaming and more. I evolved into a web3 influencer amongst other things and it's one of the things I enjoy doing. 
WHY I CHOSE HIVE ECOSYSTEM
Having worked with a few web3 and social-fi projects, some of which I've seen lost relevance, I've not seen anything like this!
•Uniqueness- Hive ecosystem stands out so much you just know it was very deliberately and intentionally created to be unique.
•Features
Delegated proof of stake(DPoS) has been a thing for a long time, but the idea of powering several massive decentralised applications (dapp) through DPoS all in one ecosystem is simply amazing! I have seen several Web3 social-fis operating the proof of work consensus, the idea of running DPoS is indeed a no-brainer! This alone accounts for a lot of beautiful features that makes hive stand out.
•Speed
DPos allows for fast block confirmation(seconds or less), and hive can handle thousands of transactions per second (TPS)
•Cheap fees
Unlike POW, DPoS doesn't waste energy. Because of this efficiency, fees are almost negligible and this is so cool because users will carry out hundreds of frequent interactions like commenting and voting, it should be free(which it is on hive) or not cost so much to do that. This encourages mainstream adoption.
•Community-driven model
Because of the voting system and the delegated voting power, it proves to be a model that is built around user empowerment.
There's more to say, but these stood out for me. I've understood over time to not go all out on any project based on a hear-say bias but based off a personal conviction. From what I've learnt in a short while, I love what hive has built over the years and I believe in what it can grow to become. I am sticking around! 
•The Journey so far
Since I joined, I've spent the bulk of my time reading and surfing through different interfaces and communities. I wanted to acquaint myself with the ways and intricacies of the platform.
I found out the hive ecosystem is rich with so much value and a wide range of options that accommodates everyone from different walks of life. Admist all that there is, I found a community that resonated pretty much with my kind of person @leo finance. They spoke my language and were one of the most receptive and welcoming! Now, I can almost say I am a LION!
I fell in love with the threads that I got so carried away that I didn't make my introductory article till now, courtesy of lions like @rajitfi,@amr008 and others, who kept me engaged with intelligent conversations, smart responses and ideas coming from a pool of vast Crypto knowledge! I am having a good time.
•The journey ahead
Seeing the wealth of possibilities in the space, starting from Inleo, I've decided to go all in and all out. I hope to build intentionally and also engage at the highest level! As a crypto enthusiast, inleo gives the best environment for growth, challenge, connecting with others of like minds and engaging the market real time. It's such a beautiful environment Inleo has built and it's amazing to be a part of something so phenomenal. I'm still learning the ropes and I do sincerely desire your support in growing.
I am dedicating this article to my OG @bhetea01 for bringing me onboard and to @caspermoeller89 for stirring me to making my first article! Thanks for the support.
I hope you enjoy my introduction.
