Hi Steemit
@dvdritchie
Hi fellow Steemers!
My name is David Ritchie and I am currently a filmmaker based in Cape Town, South Africa.
I guess one could say that the picture below is a symbol of my hope and faith towards the social platform. I'm looking forward to conversing with communities here, learning about other perspectives as well as sharing my personal knowledge on subjects that I am passionate about like film making, photography, self-care, and personal growth.
So much modern day work revolves around the internet now and for people to be compensated in a crypto-currency for content makes god damn great sense! It's time for the global financial system to catch up with the online world. Who knows whether we'll be using Bitcoin, Ethereum or Steem to buy pizza in 2033!
I made this animation video below in 2017 explaining the evolution and history of money into crypto-currency. It's short and sweet but hopefully, it helps paint the picture of Crypto!
The world is a big playground and hopefully, I still have a good 50 years in me to complete the interesting projects I'm hoping to finish. I will try to keep everybody posted about them.
One of them is a short film "Connec Ted" - a short sci-fi drama about seeking social connection in a hyper-connected metropolis. Are smartphones become smarter than we are? Will people connect in different ways and are we biologically ready or capable to handle the next wave of the internet.
I also enjoy dabbling in some music once in a while under the stage alias DocSaul. I play guitar, piano and writing the occasional rap. Music truly gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything ~ Plato
I look forward to horizons of possibilities and potential collaboration I'm going to experience in this space. I captured this photo last year November and it always makes me feel nostalgically grateful for the air we breathe, birds we hear and moments we share.
I want to produce content that is entertaining, educational or enlightening!
So if you want me to tag you at the end of my posts please feel free to comment your thoughts on them and join in on the action!
Your Boi
David
