As some of you may know, @xawi and I set up and question and answer interview for @neoxian. We had several questions sent in from the community, and this is what he had to say:

Interview with Neoxian

Questions @neoxian liked the best:

1. Xawi: question 6
2. Well Man: question 1
3. Rehan: question 1

Questions from Pope:

1: Are you a lefty a righty or ambidextrous

Neoxian: I'm right handed.

2: What is your favorite way to relax

Neoxian: a calm video game, like minecraft. Also ASMR videos.

Questions from Well Man:

1: What path did you take to get to where you are today?

Neoxian:

Childhood:
Autistic, quirky but mostly high functioning. Generally a geek and social outcast, sometimes did well in school, and sometimes not, did best towards the end. Physically fit, skinny, but hated organised sports. Often climbed trees, rode bike all over town. First wrote software when I was around 12 on a Commodore 64. Always knew I wanted to be into computers, never any doubt since around 16.

Young Adult: Went to college for about 6 years, barely squeaked by in terms of affording it. I put myself though college, was pretty poor, ate top-ramen noodles everyday, didn't own a car until I graduated. Went on couple of what you would call a "date", didn't have a girlfriend during that time, worked hard, didn't party.
Graduated with a degree in Computer Science, got a job with a medical company right away and have been working ever since.

Older Adult: I have worked in the medical industry for almost 25 years as a software engineer. Had a couple of girlfriends, but never married. Built up wealth over time, discovered Bitcoin in 2012 or so, bought some on a whim and eventually became bitcoin rich, along with Ethereum and some other cryptos. Found Steem shortly after. And now here I am as a Steem and now Hive guy. Hope that wasn't too boring.

Questions from Rehan

1: Why do you Keep your identity Anonymous?

Neoxian: I own an ungodly amount of crypto-currency, probably more than a single person should be allowed to have. I don't live in a crypto-currency friendly country and this opens me up to all sorts of potential legal liability.

Additionally there is the possibility that I might be robbed, held for ransom, etc.

I do hope that someday, in better times, I can be more open, but that day is not today.

2: Of all the jobs/businesses that you have done, which one was your fav and why ??

Neoxian: sorry I'll have to be vague, but I'll try to answer.
I had one job about eight years ago. It was a small medical device start up. We made a unique product, first of its kind. Very cool and innovative, lifesaving too. It is a type of pacemaker. I had a great boss, really sharp but nice, great to work with "Just do what's easiest for you" is what he told me.

Anyway, we were successful and made a good working product, and sold it to a larger company. We all made lots of money, and it was a great time overall.

Questions from Bear:

1: At what age did you get into precious metals

Neoxian: Around my late 30s. (or about 10 years ago)

Questions from Xawi:

1: If you could have lunch with one person from the city who would it be?

Neoxian: I can't pick just one, I'll take the whole city out.

2: For what in your life do you feel most grateful?

Neoxian:
Recently, discovering the Ketogenic diet, along with intermittent fasting, has greatly improved myself and my health. Coming in a close second would be my discovery of crypto-currency.

3: What quirks do you have?

Neoxian: Anyone who hangs out in my city can get a feel for what some of my quirks are. Exercise left to the reader.

4: when was your first kiss? in school, college or University

Neoxian: I was a late bloomer, it was post college.

5: What skill would you like to master?

Neoxian: being a cult leader.

6: If you have to pick one what would it be

1. Endless money
2. endless love

Neoxian:
This is such a silly and nonsensical question. You may as well ask me would I rather have Gerbaglob or Florpablorb?

What the hell does "Endless money" mean? What is "endless love"? Endless love would be..Eternal Bliss? Which sounds pretty good I guess, but in my case I'm sure it would be endlessly stalked by yanderes (or worse). I tend to be suspicious of anything that sounds too good to be true, and I'm sure both options would be fullfilled Monkey's Paw style.
"Endless money" would probably result in me being sufficated under an brobdingnagian pile of money.

But, I'll humor the questioner and answer...
"Endless Love" ! Surprised? My logic is thus:
If I'm given endless love, then I would assume that there is some magic force keeping me alive forever, so I can experience this love, so I wouldn't have to worry about working for a living, and might possibly be immortal. Also, there is the chance that it would be eternal bliss, which would be fantastic. And even if not, perhaps the constant challenge of avoiding all those yanderes would keep my mind active.
I see many more ways that endless money could go wrong, so I would avoid that.
Don't read too much into this answer, as I consider the question nonsensical, my answer is equally nonsensical. But it was a fun question to answer.

7: What Would Your Perfect Day Be Like?

Neoxian: hmm difficult to answer. It would be a day with no stress, where I could quietly work on projects. Perhaps take the laptop outside in beautiful weather, in some nature place and write a video game.

8: If You Could Only Eat One Food For The Rest Of Your Life, What Would It Be?

Neoxian: I guess I would go for some beef stew with the assumption that it would have vegetables in it too, so it would be a relatively well rounded diet.

9: If You Had To Describe Yourself In Five Words, What Would They Be?

Neoxian: Dragon, Rat, Anarcho-capitalist, Atheist, Cyberpunk

Questions from Raymondspeaks

1: Have you ever had to fall on your sword for your team before? If so, describe it

Neoxian: Can't think of a very interesting example, but in generaly there are plenty of times at my previous jobs, where I had to work extra hard, or extra hours without any extra pay.

2: I've always assumed that you've worked hard for what you have. Mainly because of the way the city is set up. What was your childhood like?

Neoxian: Childhood, see answer above. Also I'll add that my parents were divorced when I was pretty young, stayed with mother and she remarried. Step-dad was flawed but decent. We moved around a lot and it was hard to make friends. My childhood wasn't great, but could have been worse I suppose.

Outstanding Citizen award

Dragon @raymondspeaks has taken it upon himself to offer no less than 3,000 Neoxag on the second Sunday of each month to one lucky winner.

This is quite a leap from every week, but to prevent empty slots where there are no winners, he thought that running the award monthly would prevent that.

Make no mistake, this is an award that will be given to people for helping, sharing and giving, rather than taking and selling.

The next prize will be no less than 1 HOT token and is currently valued at 100 Steem.

This award cannot be earned, it can only be given -- by that it means you can nominate someone, but you cannot vote for yourself. If no Citizens are chosen then the pool will roll over to the following week.

This month's winner is @Rehan

Congratulations @rehan12 you win 5,000 staked neoxag & 1 HOT

I chose Rehan because of his exceptional call to duty in these key areas:

• Being an exceptional curator (I haven't once needed to prompt him)
• Setting up giveaways
• Generally being a really decent person

This is now the Twenty-third week @raymondspeaks has done this, and that has been 31,000 neoxag stake & 1 HOT he has given away.

To clarify -- you'll need to be in our server to be a Outstanding Citizen, an invite is here: https://discord.gg/RkvBGdS

We are one of the most active discords on Hive!!

Neoxian City is one of the most active Discords on Hive from what I have personally observed, and what other people keep telling me. We are active for the most part all around the clock. Our residents span from Australia right over to California; so our timezones cover a massive 21 hours!

Come in and say hi -- we don't bite :)

Where do you fit into the City of Neoxian?

A lot of people come here and get sucked into the friendliness of our server. Some people want to take on roles in the city, others just want to chat and have a good time. There's nothing wrong with either!

What we haven't seen many of though is those wanting to create new roles and responsibilities for themselves in Neoxian City. Our Dragonmaster Neoxian is always open to new ideas.

Do you have a special talent? Let us see! Come in and see if you can do something for us -- we encourage growth here. What benefits us, also benefits you.

We have already started a School, A minetest server, A banking service, games, and so much more.

What can you bring to us?

Curation Station!

Our curators regularly scour the whole of Neoxian to find the best and sometimes most undervalued work to send into planetary orbit with our humungous weighted curation trail. If you observe our tribe we have one of the best trending pages and that is because our administration team weight the trail down with their HUGE votes.

These are our picks:

Please note: We only support original content here.We will exact vengeance with extreme prejudice on plagiarists and spammers. So we want to see you unleash that creativity of yours. When you create you get better at what you do. When you plagiarise it is a wasted effort, and we don't like wastefulness or laziness here.

We also take our tags seriously. So please try and use the relevant tags as we will only vote on those with them. We won't be voting a picture of your cat with SPT for example. SPT is for Steemonsters.

Our best picks of the week will be featured on our weekly newspaper highlights.
