Hello there,
My name's Haaris, I'm a Financial Consultant based in Islamabad, Pakistan AKA THE LAND OF THE PURE. Couldn't help but chuckle at the last bit. Sometimes my work takes me to Dubai, a place I truly despise. I've grown up supporting Arsenal, a team that I hold close to my heart ever since I watched them play live. I do tend to get excessively passionate when their matches are on, especially as of late considering their fall from grace.

I learnt about Bitcoin whilst studying in London (2008-2011) for my undergrad. However, my use case for Bitcoin during 2014-16 was primarily for Online Poker, since PokerStars got banned in Pakistan around that time. I started HODLing and investing in Bitcoin around the 1st quarter of 2017 and I have not looked back since. Then I ventured into other cryptos/alts and its been a fun ride so far. My personal portfolio has risen from 2000$ to 10,000$+, and yes there were a couple of bad investments, ICOs ring a bell.
Over the past couple of months I have been truly intrigued by the social platform that is "SteemIt". As someone who vehemently disfavours Facebook, having already shifted to Twitter, I saw this as a true breath of fresh air in a swamp of surveillance fuelled models that feed off the user. Even Twitter seems to have lost its edge, but it keeps you up to date with important things.
After reading the whitepaper, honestly it took me a few reads just to get a basic hang of things, I realised that Steemit has a lot of potential; and I decided that I want to be part of it.
I consider this is to be an initiation of sorts. Lets see what happens.
Cheers,
Haaris

Hey Robin, thank you. I will start posting regarding bitcoin and other cryptos soon. With the upcoming Bitcoin hardfork, users need to be as knowledgeable as possible - the risks are high and corporations want to take advantage of that.
yes, i think all cryptocurrencies are high risk but high rewards of course.
