Hello, hi, hola, and many thanks to anyone that actually reads this.
My name is Ardon and I am a 31yo from Las Vegas. I currently have 6 employees across two companies and started my first bitcoin company in 2013.
Online communities have played an important role in my life and upbringing ever since I can remember. Staying up late in middle school when the internet was still new was a mind-blowing experience. My first addiction was Everquest, which was an early hardcore MMORPG, where relationships mattered and raids were somehow conducted with 100+ people and no Ventrillo or Team Speak. I even had my first girlfriend on there. =P
I've started and developed many online communities over the years. I grew /r/startups to over 6-figure members, moderate the largest ICO subreddit (which is mostly now dead...Oof), have a fairly active Discord server, and my apparel company is community-driven through pseudonymous design ideas. I have learned online communities can be very special and it's up to its inhabitants to see the bigger picture. When we contribute toward the betterment of the group, magic happens.
I look forward to playing around with Steemit more and want to test out the live streaming functionality. These decentralized social medias are very important for the future of humanity. I hope Steemit is part of that.
Cheers to the new year! I appreciate anyone that takes time to follow me and will reciprocate. Thanks
