Hello world, this is me!

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 

Hi,
I'm Kristoffff, an almost 30year old guy from Ghent, Belgium.
I first got to know about steemit thru my online search to make some money online, while in the meantime I already volunteer as a moderator for 2 big cryptogambling websites.

So far it has been a bumpy ride to make alot as I more or less am struggling of a nasty side effect of gambling: addiction.

I'm mainly interested in memes, sports, journalism and photography, and travel.

Hope to get to know more about steemit and be more active than ever before :)

If you wanna know anything, just pop the question and I will be more than happy to answer you 😎

Cheers
Kristoffff

Hello kristoffff! 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!

Welcome @kristoffff! Addiction is a bad condition. The good thing is that you understand that it's happening to you and hopefully you will overcome it. Good luck!

It has come along with being a mod on a bitcoin casino. I Know admitting is a great first step, though overcoming this is a whole different thing.
Unlike many addicts I actually was doing great, until recently lady luck has left me.

If you happen to have any tips how to get focused on other things, that would be greatly appreciated.

Also nice to meet you! :)

Well, I am fighting my own kind of addiction and you are right. It's so damn hard. One step forward, two steps back. I think people say that understanding it is the first step, because it means you already know that is not good for you and need to make it better. So you start making steps in that direction and little by little you make progress. I'm not sure I can give you the right tip. My way is enforcement. The best way is awareness. Just be strong and don't let your brain play with you.
It's really nice to meet you too and if you find a way out of this, please let me know.

Reading your reply made me feel stronger and determined that I can achieve this. Thanks for supporting me.
What kind of addiction are you struggling with if you dont mind me asking?

I can't stop looking for solution to a problem that is imaginary. I am with a low self-esteem and my brain attacks me continuously. It interferes my clear thinking and stops my progress by making me rethinking the same topic over and over again. It's kinda hard to explain and it's a heavy subject, which I rather stays only in my head.

Hi Kristof, hope you will be able to deal with your addiction. I hope you can share your knowledge about crypto, journalism and sports with us! :)

@thepinksuitcase I hope so too. Addictions are a horrible thing. Its never good to be involved with things too much.

Well, make sure to follow me and Ill drop some memes. I got some plans on writing about addiction, crypto and my old love journalism :)
P.s. do you take your pink suitcase with you on holidays? Hehe
