Hey There! Raymondspeaks here. Veteran writer, published author, and well-rounded introspective man-person
Okay, so, I've been scraping new and awesome projects on Steem Engine as of late. I first found this place about a month ago when my friend @ana.nouk introduced me to cashing out my DEC in steem monsters. On the surface level I hadn't given it much thought; to me Steem engine at first was a way to cash out and this was all - a numbers crunching platform that paid me the money -- show me the money!!
Alas, I later learned that it was so much more than that. It was an answer to the SMT tokens solution Steemit had always been talking about. I liked it.
I had abandoned steem and steemit more than a year ago because that place seems to unfairly disenfranchise pure content creators like myself. We came for the rewards but in the end were met with upvote bots; a system that monetised essentially what was a free service. Now I'm not complaining, don't get me wrong -- the best thing about Steemit is that you can just about do anything that you want to, including offering your vote up for a fee. Business is business. But to me that was the end of that. I should have powered up my stake when I had the chance to. The fault is mine at the end of the day.
On steem-engine I've found quite a few interesting side projects. One that I like, epic dice. I'm not a gambler, but I DO like holding their tokens for a share of the profits every day -- one thing being a degenerate gambler in my youth has taught me is that the house always wins. So I bought into Epic dice, quite heavily actually.
Through that I found Neoxian Silver - now I'd heard about this chappy before back in the whaleshares saga. I used to read his content but I was unsure how to contact him -- his outlook was interesting to me, and it seemed as if he was a businessman that whilst creating something amazing for himself, he likes to take his community with him. Dismayed that I had no idea how to get hold of him (which I'm now realising if I asked my friends in some of the servers I'm in then they'd have known) I closed that door on that part of my life. Then of course today came around.
On Steem engine I found neoxian silver; something that I was instantly interested in because whenever I hear that name I generally think forward thinking business potential. And thus led me to this community. Bought myself some stake, and will be buying some more next week. I'm interested! Very! Also interested in how this platform closely ties in with steem -- and that's something I've never seen before either.
So here is me, Raymond, veteran author. Published mainstream and also in the cryptosphere. Some people might say I'm omnipresent, I on the other hand may call it spreading myself thin. I'm not on every other platform that has dropped since steem; I tend to like the ones that differ in look and feel. But this place, this place interested me. Let's say I was gravitated to the positivity of it all. And, there's a lot of people I know on here. Strangely enough! (*cough, why didn't you guys tell me this before, cough* lol)
I write generally articles on mental health, men and fatherhood, but lately I've been trying to branch outside of my area. I'm kind of running out of ideas because I have literally thousands of pieces in the mental health niche in my arsenal, and it's time I tried something a bit new. After all, in my opinion a talented writer is one that can take their hand to all sorts of diverse topics and have them read just as well. Time will tell.
I'm also the founder & owner of the mancave, but that's a story for another day -- something that exists in the background like a sleeping lion, waiting to pounce. :)
Thanks for having me guys!!
