Hi Steemit!
Happy to be a part of the community! I'm coming in at the behest of my friend @prufarchy, who says there's a chance people will actually want to hear what I have to say about stuff and things. Me, some random human on the planet.

A Whole New (Encrypted?) World
So I don't know too much about bitcoin and crypto-currency, but I'm slowly learning! @prufarchy has gotten a few of us here at the office fired about crypto and Steemit, so now there are several of us rocking bitstamp accounts! We even got a crypto slack channel up and running so we can trade information and keep learning. It's not much but it's a start.
In fact, I just bought my very first 1's and 0's of Bitcoin, so really... It's my Bitcoin Birthday.

I'm CRUSHING this!
I'm thinking my first crypto purchase might be Digitbyte because I like what I've read so far and there are some rumors that the platform may be launching in this next week. Does anyone have any opinions on DGB??
Until I understand more about blockchain tech, I'll probably stick to writing about movies, TV, sports and a bunch of other stuff. So far I see that sports does have a cool community here, so I'm wondering who's down for some Fantasy League Sports?!?
About Moi
I'm a Canadian export living in NYC right now, working in advertising and trying not to get in too much trouble and probably failing. Here's a picture of me that makes me look responsible:

Are you in Good Hands?
And here's a picture of me with Danny Pudi from Community!

I'm looking forward to exploring the community and bothering @prufarchy during office hours to help me master this markdown editor thingy.
Thanks for the welcome to the platform!
Oh by the way, check out @lordvader if you haven't already. He's hilarious. This is my favorite post so far.
Hey welcome to Steemit! I just joined myself, but I have been investing for a short while and have learned a few things.
If you are looking to make your first investment, don't try to buy anything right away. Even if the market looks good and the coin you have your eye on looks like a good buy at this time. Take at least a week of time looking up more coins and watch the market move. Get familiar with how the trading systems work.
Diversify. Even if you don't have much.
You will notice coins move up and down with the market. Read some white papers of coins you are interested in (at least skim it, but never skip it). Make a top 5 list and watch them for at least a few days. Find their support levels and make a good estimate on good entry points for each. Also, it may be helpful to find coins that have negative correlation (when one is up the other drops).
Start small and start slow. Trust me there is plenty of time to make money. Even when you are not investing in alt coins, you are still investing in Bitcoin by just holding it. Be patient and you will find your moments to make money.
