On a more personal note

Hello to all my dear followers and other Steemit readers and active Curators!

From tomorrow on I will be officially unemployed.

I noticed that my dead-end job wasn't really getting me anywhere, not financially because it was a part-time job and my student loans were not decreasing any time soon. But also it was just tiring and combined with other daily activities and my interests lately to dig deeper into cryptocurrencies it felt like I was just wasting time and not getting anywhere.

I decided to save up 5 months ago when I started on Steemit and even though I have powered up a big amount of my 50% payouts on Steemit, the amount that I had saved up was in Eth, BTS, Lisk, Digix, Waves, BTC and Jewels ended up being enough to cover the next 3 months of rent and utilities. (should've had a bigger stake of it in BTC than the others considering the short-term I was aiming for). The heavy taxation also reduced the profit greatly.

Now my plans for the upcoming months are to work on my online persona, both here on Steemit but also on other social platforms like Twitter: oAcido, Reddit: acidyo, Bitcointalk: acidx and Youtube: acid-yo. I am proud to say that Steemit has my biggest following of them all combined and it feels great considering I have been waiting for decentralized social medias ever since I was active on Reddit.

Tomorrow I will spend some time fine-tuning my Social Media accounts with some new pictures and images and becoming active on all of them, with the primary goal to be to collect many more followers that get to know about the block-chain technology and how its innovation is awaiting them.

I think this is the most important aspect of it all, and one of the biggest step towards mainstreem adoption. I have for the last months now been voting 4-5 times more than the average curators to awake awareness and give everyone deserving an opportunity for their content to be easier visible for the Steemit readers. Now I want to put it into even more use for newcomers and at the same time grow my social platforms around it all.

If everything goes well, and some of it hangs on Steemits future and success, I will be able to maintain this as my full-time job and not be required to look for another "work for the man" job in the future.

Who knows what the Internet of Things has in its stores for us, and how big of a market cap cryptocurrencies will reach in the near future, combine it with the Attention Economy that Steemit will be a big part of - I am hopeful about it and want to start saving up my assets in these promising new cryptocurrencies - thus reactivating my @cryptochannel account and adding some extra details to the investments and trades and also making it a community thing because I think many more users should do the same. Not like I have the last past 5 months where at the end of the day (or the year to be specific) I will have spent all my savings I had and be left with the majority on Steemit thanks to its divesting periods.

A new day awaits tomorrow and I am looking forward to be able to spend more time around Steemit and my other social platforms. Most importantly to connect even more with my followers and newcomers.

Who knows, maybe there might be a new but old witness popping up soon with some new projects already planned for a long period and ready to be announced. ;)

Thanks for reading! Have a good week everyone!
