New day, first post

Hi, this is my first time writing any post online before so this is bound to be interesting.

There's a saying in my hometown, "if we don't know each other, we can't respect one another" so let me introduce myself. My name is Aswin (and yes, i don't have an online name), i just finished my second semester as an economic student, there is literally nothing interesting about me other than i'm that awkward but funny kid in class (guess i got that going for me).

That's me

Before the start of March, i got started trading stock's on my free time, and i think i'm pretty good at it, making decent profit on my portfolio, but there's one thing that i kinda hate about it, i can't withdraw my account on the same day i have my profit, i have to wait 3 days to do that, until some time later, my brother told me about bitcoin and etherium, so i got exited and open an account to start trading bitcoin in my country, and every step of creating an account, deposit, buying, selling altcoin, and withdrawing was literaly 5 times faster than trading stock, so i started concentrating on trading altcoin, but there's only a handfull of coins that are available in that exchange, so i discover poloniex. after opening an account and transferring my bitcoin there (the same day) i start doing what i was doing in the stock market, buy low sell high, but ofcourse i'm still very green in this altcoin trading so i started learning from article's online to videos on youtube. i still trade to this day, but of course the lack of capital an average student like me have is the biggest hurtle to make a decent amount of profit from trading, until one morning on my recommended list from youtube, there's a video about steemit and why it can disrup social media. Now before i clicked on that video, i could have sworn i heard the word steem somewhere, then i remembered that i sold my steem on poloniex worth about 22 USD, it was a good trade that day, profit of about 8%, so i started watching the video, my first impression on steemit was, "where did all this money come from? there's no advertisement as far as i can see" so i started researching on my own and this really fascinate me, the idea that author's are the "shareholder" of the company by giving them steem (depending on how much they're contributing to the community by the community themself) that they can exchange with bitcoin or fiat currency. this really spark my interest, so i started signing up, but i wasn't all that hopeful because when i watched the comment of the video i watched about steemit, many people have not been approved by steemit for over a month (probably because of the queue).

2 days later i was surprised when i checked my email and popped up an email from the steemit team,so i got exited and confused at he same time, 2 days later here i am, making my first post, hoping that i could make something out of my boring life by contributing to this community with the best of my knowledge.

Well, that's the story of who i am and how i found Steemit, i would love to hear your guys story one day.

Thank you so much to the steemit team for giving me this opportunity and to the steemit community, i really appreciate any tips and tricks you guys can give me about steemit.
