Let me introduce myself; I am GETENCORED

[getencored]

I am Groot GET-EN-CORE-D and I find it unbelievable that I've been on #steemit for over a year now. My first post was about 2 months ago and finally got a full grip of steemit just about 2 weeks ago. When I opened an account, I was relatively naive in the cryptosphere, and the concept of steem, steem power and steem dollars confused me then so I passed.

@drugcompendium who happens to be my friend wanted me to contribute to the @drugcompendium page, but I didn't feel a need to commit then. It was however a post by @samstickkz that rekindled my interest in steemit. His post appeared on my chrome news feed and I found out that Nigerians are positively contributing not only in the steem community but also in the cryptosphere. I'd also like to use this opportunity to thank @jacobite, he gave me the best welcome. Thanks for being an inspiration bro. Now the lyrics of John Legend and Common's glorykeeps playing in my head and I say to myself, steemit is now for every man, woman and child... Now I'm ready to commit 😆.

My name is Peter Abia, a Nigerian, practicing pharmacist, crypto-enthusiast, scientist, adept reader and researcher, critique, logical thinker, innovator, idea bag, writer, MCU and sci-fi freak. I also love good music amd movies. There's a lot to be learnt in life and I believe I can't learn enough. I happen to find myself in a team of wonderful individuals (cryptotrade101 and #cryptokarta) who share ideas and support one another with respect to cryptocurrencies generally. I am highly optimistic and believe in adding value through my actions to people around me.

Just as I promised, I would commit more time to the steemit community and not only learn as much as I can but also contribute value especially in areas related to @steemstem, @stemng, @wafrica, #health, #cryptocurrencies, #grassroot_mentoring, and inspiring not only #Nigerian youths but every steemian I come across.

It's nice meeting you.

Hello getencored! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
5. Have Fun and Enjoy!
