Yo it's with great please that I make my debut with this very first post. I'm Rafa de Oliveira, 28, born in Portugal, African roots, currently living in the UK, consider myself a citizen of the World.
I've been following the development of cryptocoins for a long time and only now decided to make myself know to the community through steemit.
I've been visiting coinmarketcap for a while looking for interesting projects and got curious about this one. I'll be posting about things that I find interesting (hopefully you will too), things that happen in my life and topics that will stimulate the brain and lead to constructive discussions (fingers crossed).
Now a bit more about myself, I've lost count to the number of hair styles I had (personal record, 4 in a week), played semi-pro football for several years, love the sun, Reggae Hip-Hop and Kizomba are my favourite but listen to a bit of everything, also a good rave in the middle of the forest is the best from time to time. Love a good discussion/argument when the people involved are willing to talk and listen with an open mind.
Let me name a few authors/books, movies/documentaries and personalities that left a mark:
- Jose Saramago
- Paulo Coelho
- George Orwell
- Gurdjieff
- Fernando Pessoa
- Jiddu Krishnamurti
- Eiichiro Oda
- Akira Toriyama
- Death Note - Tsugumi Ohba
- J. K. Rowling
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky
- Drunvalo Melchizedek
- James Redfield
- Helena Blavatsky
- The Green Book - Muammar Gaddafi
- Edward de Bono
- Kybalion - Three Initiates
- Zeitgeist
- Four Horseman
- Kymatica
- Inner Worlds, Outer Worlds
- Spirit Science
- Matrix
- Life is Beautiful - Roberto Benigni
- Charlie Chaplin
- Hayao Miyazaki
- Alan Watts
- Bob Marley
There are many others but the list is already quite extensive. Thanks for reading and keep the steem going!!!
1Love

hello @ynotc
you are very much welcome to steemit,a one of its kind in the history of social networks. i will like to share with you some lessons i learnt the hard way.
First,write on your area of strength, don't strugle more to get topics to write on, but when you write based on what you know/do well at, that becomes your brand and fellow steemians will know what to expect from you on every post.
don't beg for followers.
When people follow you on a quip pro quo basis, that's the foundation of not getting upvotes and comments because many of your followers didn't do so because they wanted what you have to offer but rather they are just there as numbers. #don't go for numbers, but value.
When i joined, after my intro post. i went low kay and started engaging with people on their posts and comments and like that,i was getting people that truly liked me for me. i must note that at some post as a newbie, i outrightly asked people to follow me but that was before i learned that it was one of the unwritten rule of steemit;don't beg for followers.
Again,paticipate in contests, it will conect you to people and probably, earn you some steem/steem dollar. and always try to leave a good comment on people's posts. this dose wonders. check out this contest[clickhere]https://steemit.com/fiftywords/@literature-trail/fifty-word-story-contest-week-20-race-join-for-a-chance-to-win-1000-trail-and-40-sbd
Finally, learn to engage. Get the esteem app on your phone so that after writing and posting with your pc,you can now use your phone and respond to replys on the go. This will help you build your followers.>/h4>
I hope that this piece will be of grate help to you as it has been for me[though i learnt the hard way]. Follow them and thank me later. : )
once more, you are welcome.
@arizonawise.
