HELLO Steemers,
My name is Jonathan! Wait...
That's not me, hang on...
There I am! (Sort of!)
Anyway...
Thank you for welcoming me to the platform! (Again)
To start things off - I can't believe Bitcoin hit 40K. (So SOON!) Now it's way past the moon!
Mooning for me was 4K back in the day - or something else entirely...
As a prelude to why I left and why I'm back now...
I was a relatively early bitcoin investor getting my first few coins for less than $500 each.
At one point I traded my way up to 30 bitcoins and held then up to the groundbreaking spike around $20,000.
... Serious gains.
But there was a problem.
The government had just initiated taxing people on their bitcoin too around this time.
What I didn't realize at the time was that I was being taxed every single time I made a transaction.
... Serious trouble.
I managed to rack up a 100K bill somehow!
Long story short I sold all of my Crypto because I was so done with it after having to pay so much money to the government and going broke.
Yes, it was my fault, but it still hurt. At that point, I was happy to be rid of it.
But now... I'm not so happy!
Bitcoin just hit 40K!
Which reminded me - I need to Steem again asap!
And since I've been active in the community for so long before my "experience" I know it's somehow still early in bitcoin's growth.
I think bitcoin is going to be at $1 Million or more on day...
So I think there is no better time than now to put my differences aside and dive in once more.
The good news is that this really hit me hard, and I would never make the same mistakes again financially.
Sometimes, you just aren't ready for the money... and that's my silver lining.
All the while though - the freedom has given me time to pursue my passion: Marketing!
In the past 4 years I've become a social media expert - Instagram being my specialty!
So this time around I'll be sharing my top Instagram tips for 2021 here on Steemit as well as my other social platforms.
Omnipresence is a big deal!
You can find me on all of my channels here: (and Pinterest too if you're a die-hard fan)

So if you want help growing your social media - they're not all that different.
Steemit included. For the most part, all of my tips pertain to Instagram but I can guarantee you that the same strategies will generally apply to Steemit as well.
Like I said before - it's good to be everywhere, so why not!
Anyway, that's my story and I hoped you enjoyed it.
If you ever have any questions about me or anything I do - never feel free to ask in the comments and I'll do my best to answer them!
Or, just give me a follow if you want to learn more! Thank you!
Much Love, Steemers!
It's good to be back.
