Hello everyone!

This is my first time ever writing a blog online. I almost never like and post things on Facebook, because I don't see any advantages in it. The Steemit platform, on the other hand gave me a good impression when I first looked it up and it looked very useful in many ways.

Who am I?

My name is Joey, I'm 19 years old (close to 20) and I live in the Netherlands. I'm in my final year (~~hopefully~~) of university and I study International Business Economics. Most of you guys probably don't believe me, saying that it is my last year of university at the age of nineteen, but the reason for this is that I finished elementary School one year earlier than the 'average student'. But next to this im also just a normal student who likes to hang out with friends, playing poker, learning new things and of course doing my homework.

How did I got into the crypto world?

The first time I ever heard anything about cryptocurrencies was in 2014. I came across an article about bitcoin and I read trough it very quickly, but it didn't capture my attention. Through the years I saw more and more articles about it and I got more interested.

It was in the beginning of 2015 that I had to make a presentation about an economic subject for a course in university. This turned out well for me, because now I had the chance to further examine Bitcoin. The Bitcoin was around $300 at this time. After I had my presentation me and a fellow student got into a conversation about buying some Bitcoin. The only problem was we thought it was very expensive and we had no steady income to buy some. So, in the end we didn't buy anything, which I regret of course...

The first time I bought some cryptocurrency was around March/April this year. A litte bit late, but in my opinion think the real rocket still has to come.

If you look at the picture of above I think we are still around or even beneath 'media attention'. The last few weeks the crypto world gets more and more in the news, so it gradually gets more attention in my opinion.

Final Word

I look forward to meet a lot of new people on Steemit and to post a lot of content! In the end the most important thing is that we learn from eachother. Cheers.
