Nice read! I saw that you joined couple months back so this introduction is a long time coming. There is an upvote for you and I'm waiting for many more posts in the future!
As a newcomer to steemit, it's not easy getting those first upvotes so maybe you want to try Steemfollower where you can earn up to 5x more steem than just upvoting by yourself! It's a simple and safe vote exchange that is free to use. I compiled this post to explain the system in more depth and it has become my most upvoted post yet.
