Hey @technoguy
It is a small world indeed! I live in Warwick which is a not a million miles away from Birmingham (about 15 minutes by car).
Yes Steemit is a bit of a strange animal! Have you joined any of the groups and related external sites such as https://steemit.chat/home and Discord? Both are very good to promote your work and make new contacts who will look at what you have produced!
I have been going against the grain recently with what I have been writing as it contradicts the general feeling in the Crypto Community.
Apart from the straight forward Modern Portfolio Theory piece which is handy (the link I sent you above) I just finished a piece titled: "Why the Crypto Community should stop beating up Warren Buffett": https://steemit.com/warren-buffett/@shenobie/why-the-crypto-community-should-stop-beating-up-warren-buffett :-D
I am looking forward to the reaction I get to that one lol!
Peace and talk soon :-)

Hello again @shenobie
Wow. That's quite a coincidence. My father was born in Birmingham but grew up in Tamworth. I haven't been over there to visit in almost 18 years. But I remember it being very beautiful.
I haven't gotten very far with steemitchat. My offline business (English school in Japan) and family have been keeping me really busy. I like the idea of being able to chat with people and become more a part of the community though.
I'll give your piece a read as soon as I can.
Keep fighting the good fight. :-)
Hey @technoguy,
Tamworth is a really beautiful place! The midlands as a whole has really changed in the last 18-20 years tbh. A lot of money has come in to the region as major investment banks and other international businesses have migrated from London due to increasing costs and congestion to a more insentivised midlands! Also it is an ideal commuter belt with one hour connnections into the heart of London (early morning) from most areas. And it is still green lol :-D
You have an English school in Japan? Japan and its entire culture from historical books such as the Hagakure to real Kobe beef from Kobe prefecture and not to mention eating sushi in the early hours of the morning directly in the fish market.... man I miss it. You just sent me on a nostalgia trip. I realise if i mentioned karaoke and kimono in that sentence how touristy I would actually sound. But in my defence I actually spent a whole summer when I was 14 y/o learning Japanese using the same kit the US diplomats use. Damn was it hard and after a few bottles of sake I could communicate (or so I thought) with the locals very well.... in some semi broken Japanese-English variant.
Anyway I am rambling lol!!!
Yes I am of the same thought as you with chatting with people on this medium. Steemitchat is great, but everyone is 'like hey look at my work'.... They don't really engage much more than that.
I prefer interactions such as this. More meaningful.
Stay safe and drop me a note when your next post is out.
Best Regards
Avinash
Hey @shenobie
I've been slammed lately with my offline life. I'm sure you can relate ;-)
I tied uploading a new post but keep getting an error that says:
"RPCError: missing required posting authority:Missing Posting Authority technoguy"
I searched around for solutions but haven't found anything that works yet. Any suggestions?
Hey @technoguy,
I have been up in Scotland all week on a project and get back this evening. I Just saw my replies!
Will check this error message out and get back to you tomorrow after I am rested?
Hope all is good.
Peace,
@shenobie
No worries. The error actually seems to have fixed itself! Enjoy your down time.
