Introduction Post!

Hi everyone!

I’m new to Steemit and still learning about what this community is all about. I really like what I think I know about Steemit, basically that transparency and rewards take place, and it all seems kinda complex to me. Here is a little bit about me.

I am from the USA, currently living in California. I got married at 19 and been married now for 11 years! My wife and I moved to China when we were 22 and spent 5 years there. I have two young kids and have a big interest in helping young people grow up knowing they are loved and for them to have a safe, secure home.

To be honest, cryptocurrency boggles me. I don’t understand how it is valued and I don’t see where it might go in the future. I thought this website might be a good way for me to interact with others, not only about crypto but about life and humanity. I’m assuming that those who are a part of Steemit have a basic understanding of crypto and possibly even some vision as to what crypto might one day become!

Super looking forward to meeting more people on here! I’m also on Appics!
