Huh... I'm getting to that point where I'll need a hair cut soon or risk looking like Spike Spiegel

Hi Shayne!

I'm Christophe and I Joined Steem a few months ago when I discovered crypto-currencies. I joined Steem because I find the steem eco-system quite fascinating and a great place to get quality information, epecially regarding current-events in crypto. As an individual, I'm from Belgium and I love the outdoors! I couldn't reach my introduction post for some reason, but here's one of me in the Dolomites. I spend a lot of time in the mountains so it summarizes me quite well :)

Wow! That looks amazing!

My upvote didn't affect that post so I went ahead and upvoted your comment here :D

awesome! thank you Shayne!

Hi Shayne!
Been on Steemit since August, but the last few months have gotten me truly excited for the untapped potential of Steemit and the fact that we're on the ground-floor of the future of social media!
Been getting countless people to join lately and as a journalist and report, I've been posting everything I do on Steemit!

Keep up the great work! :)

This last month has been SUPER exciting! Sound like you're being a great ambassador. You keep it up too!

Thanks man! :)


Self portrait. HaHa. Just kidding (well, a little).
I live in Maryland. My primary passions are dogs and nature, but I also love photography, bike riding and stacking silver (and gold) coins. I follow the economic news a lot. I am at Steemit because I wanted to get away from all the mainstream media and social networks (like CNN, MSNBC, Twitter and Facebook). I am starting to get interested in crypto currencies, but am simply overwhelmed by it all.
So, nice to meet you Shayne!

Nice to meet you, too!

Steemit is actually a pretty good news source, and a good place for crypto views as well.

Thanks :D

Wow! Great intro post! Welcome to Steemit.

Is that a manta ray...?

Thank you Shayne, no it's a sand shark that is caught around our coast.

Greetings @shayne great to connect with you! I'm Gary, 47 and a Capricorn. I like slow walks in the rain and pray for world peace...erm, wrong introduction.

Hi Shayne. Joined Steemit two months ago. Following you since the beginning I guess.
This is me: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@bart2305/let-me-say

How did you create these different fonts (letters) in your profile name?

Hey! Well allow me to give a belated welcome to Steemit :)

I copy and pasted that little guy a while ago and it just became my signature over time lol

How did you do it? Is it a jpeg?

Nope. It's asci or something.

Welcome to steemit

Hello Shayne, my name is Nicola and I'm a Kiwi. I've been on Steemit for a couple of weeks now and I am really enjoying it.
I'm a mum to my 8 month old baby girl and am planning on staying home with her. I used to work in IT, but thankfully we are in a position as a family where I can stay home with her and watch her grow.
I used to have heaps of interests (fitness, outdoors, biking/hiking, reading, movies etc) but I've found that I'm really only interested in my wee girl at the moment. I'm sure I'll get back to being myself over time. However, I'm enjoying her too much to care right now!
I was drawn to following your posts due to a post you did on peaceful parenting. That's how I'm trying to raise my wee girl. I've since found many of your posts interesting too so am happy to be following you.
Thanks for getting the community involved. That's why I like it here. I'm way more into inclusive and supportive things and this is the first social media site where I'm involved and feel like I have a voice, instead of just adding to the noise.
P.S. I haven't yet figured out how to add a photo to a comment. I'm writing from my phone while my girl is having a nap on me!

What is Kiwi like ? That is amazing ha. How did you even find SteemIt?

the land of Kiwi lol

Oh, I'm so glad you are able to stay home with the kid.

Yes, I remember your posts in that peaceful parenting article. Much appreicated.

You should be able to just drag and drop the image into the text field and it'll put it in automatically.

Hello handsome.

Hi, Shayne! What a neat idea! I'm Renee, and I joined Steemit a little less than a week ago. Initially, it was just to support my friend @jrhughes, but as it turns out, I'm really enjoying participating in the community. My IntroduceYourself post is here: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@nayzer/a-great-big-howdy-from-an-english-prof-who-gets-lit

Thanks for taking time to do this. :)

Hey Renee! I'm glad to have caught your post before the 7 days was up. Upvoted that -- good job :)

Glad to have you and welcome to Steemit.

Thanks, I'm happy to be here!

I was thinking we all should pool together ( some peeps in chat ) and each do a Post ( same pictures for thumbnails ) and say, " We are Steemians , Introduce Yourself", that be a cool initiative. Let me know what you think in chat.

OK! Next time I'm in :D

Hello Shayne, I greatly appreciate the opportunity to interact. Happy Saturday to you too. I'm Rob from the UK, I knew nothing of Steem until some of the guys I follow on YouTube (e.g. SGT Report) suggested I give it a try out. A complete noob on all this Blockchain stuff but finding it interesting all the same. I enjoy paragliding and I'm the creator of the Eggmotor Project (back in 2008). Hoping I can bring my experiences in experimental aviation to a new audience. https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@eggmeister/hi-i-m-the-eggmeister-and-i-too-have-been-brought-to-a-rolling-boil

btw, that's not a real BBC DVD, just a cheeky attempt at self-promotion :) [I'm the guy on the right]

Woah, experimental aviation? Cool!

Welcome to Steemit :D

Ta very much :)

Howdy @Shayne - one of your early posts really helped me with my @introduction! Now I'm starting on the second and more....;)

Thanks!

https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@my-name-in-vein/stat-code-blue-introduction-for-medical-blog-q-and-a-from-the-inside

Wow! Well done!!

Welcome Ron Steemit

Thanks! I also read and listened to your guide, and - now at ~7 days, my inaugural attempt at a post on a topic dear to my heart (and hopefully, everyone's mind) on acute stroke:

https://steemit.com/health/@my-name-in-vein/act-fast-recognizing-a-stroke-rapid-treatment-and-emerging-interventions-for-acute-embolic-strokes

Hi Shayne, I'm a freshman on Steemit and I really found out about it through my interest in Bitcoin, which seems to be a common trend amongst steemites. I think this concept is amazing and it could be YouTube's grim reaper and possible other social media platforms will suffer once the Steemit word has spread a bit more. I've upvoted and followed.

It is true -- that's how I came across Steemit, too. I think the platform will expand when it moves beyond cryptocurrency enthusiasts.

Welcome to Steemit :)

You've got it Shayne, when it cascades down from the enthusiasts, that's when things around here become very interesting indeed.

One more thing Shayne, congratulations on being the 100th person I have clicked the follow button on. Woo, woo!! :-D

Howdy @shayne!

Well hey :D

https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@egregorian/new-here-just-verifying

Hey shayne! Great networking idea. I saw a few of your posts and thought you would be good to follow to learn more about all of this new world. Been following crypto for almost 2 years. Just recently found steemit. I for sure seen it awhile back but did not realize what was going on I think haha! Looks like an amazing community and I am glad to be a part of it. So many possibilities exist readily! Oh and don't cut your hair Spike is awesome. Although that comes from a Rocky Mountain dweller hahaha! It's weird here to not have a beard, and my hair just looks so good naturally it would be a sin to cut off :D Hoping to have more time to post things soon, in transition once again! Day job consists of building homes now, love it. We do most of the work, creating things with my hands is my passion and keeps me sane! Also a bit of a word smith mainly poetry. Working on getting more that done as well, an 18 month old epic boy named Omni takes up lots of my downtime hahah! And another baby in August, so I get on here as much as possible, which is not that much yet.

Hey, welcome to Steemit! :D

I'm glad to have you around.

What do you mean by "epic boy"?

Thanks man! He is Epic because...

His energy level is so intense and aware from day one.
He was birthed as sacred as possible.
He melts everyone's heart that meets him.
He loves people, nature, animals.
He has not been poisoned by vaccines or medications.
He has been sick once in 18 months (minor cold).
His laughter is unreal and his smile shines like the sun.

:D


WELCOME to steemit @shayne

I look forward to your posts.

Followed and upvoted. Please follow back. Cheers



Starsteem Out


STEEMON!!!


YOU FEEL ME

So what's with the 666 / illuminati call-out hand sign?
Seems a little strange.

It's an "ok" sigh. Did you not read the post?

Hey! I'm Andy. I mainly play guitar and write music for a melodic death metal band, also a hip-hop group. Would like to learn more about bitcoin and investing. @phonestatic introduced me to the site, and I really dig the platform.

Follow me @andykillian

Hey dude. Welcome aboard!

Thanks brother. Really liking it here so far!

It's kus!! Everyone should follow him! :D

hi Shayne!! how are u?
I joined steemit couple of weeks back. Still new here and a lot to learn. I read a post of yours in the beginning and following you since then.
This is my intro post : https://steemit.com/firstpost/@abhinavsharma/introduction-my-first-steem

Right! I was there to introduce you from way back when lol
XD

Well, welcome again!

ohhh yes!!! lol. Thanks again mate :)

Welcome and great post! Steemit is an amazing platform and its great to have you here! If you are ever hungry... dont go to my page! hahah :P Alla x

I haven't gotten around to making an introduce yourself post on Steemit! Being an anon is really cool , but sometimes I want to post as myself , what do?

I would never dissuade from anon. Anon is legion because it is anon.

And what made you ¨come out ¨? No pun intended lol

I've never really been anon. I appreciate anon, tho.

Hi Shayne, found one of your posts and followed it to your blog. I've only been around for about a week or so and am stumbling around. I spent 25+ years in the auto industry, worked my way up into engineering without a degree only to be let go in 2008. I've reinvented myself to keep the bills paid but have struggled trying to find a way to create and problem solve. I'm hoping steemit can be that outlet. Sorry but I don't have a picture to post, I'm old and set in my ways. But I'm considering it.

Hey, welcome to Steemit. I'm glad to have you around :D

Auto industry, eh? That's one of the industries that will still be useful in case of a catastrophic event, so be happy about that. :D

Oh the American Auto industry died years ago. I knew GM was bankrupt already in the last millennium. I watched it happen from the inside.

Hello @shayne! I typed "How to introduce yourself" in the search bar and your post about it came up. (Thanks for the tips!) Still in the process of creating my #introduceyourself post. Not even sure how to follow people yet. :)
