An Introduction
You may not know me, but I’ve been around here for quite some time now. Though it has only been around sixteen months since I got into nfts - it has been a lifetime beyond that since I became obsessed with the idea of doing and being something more than what society and life growing up told me it had to offer.
I have been back and forth many times about what I should do or say in order to create my “first piece of content”. I know that it doesn’t need to be anything special and I wasn’t worried about that aspect of it; more about finding a direction to start working towards. Eventually, I decided to just throw my thoughts in a note like I usually do and simply introduce a little more to you all who “Dekrypted” actually is - and why I’m here.
I mentioned above the piece about being in web3 for over a year not in an entitled sense, but to outline the simple fact that I have experienced and seen a great deal of things that have occurred over the last year in the Solana NFT ecosystem and throughout the crypto industry. However, I would lean more towards the “seeing” side of that statement. Due to personal health and some financial constraints, my progress in this space thus far has been far my below my expectations; granted, some circumstances are unavoidable (more on that later).
I don’t expect a lot of traction to develop on my journey in the beginning, but that’s not a bad thing. I love the principle of enjoying the journey more than one enjoys reaching the final destination. I have also been known as a quiet but straight forward person when I do decide to speak up - though I’ll admit I find it easiest to explain myself through my writing more often than through other means.
If you’ve survived this far, you’ve made it to why I actually started this thread - the reason I began involving myself in nfts and in web3 itself. The answer is quite simple. My goal in life has always been to be involved in or to become part of something that is entirely different and outside the normal everyday blur of society today. I want to be involved in something that moves both the world and our society forward in a positive and evolutional way. If you know anything about cryptocurrency and the foundations of web3, you already know how it aligns very closely with the interests I just described. It has been a long time coming, but I have finally been able to get things settled enough in my life outside of web3 to start to buckle down and get to work on my passions again.
I would like to start to wrap this up since this is more of an introductory piece than anything. However, I am more than excited to begin sharing any and all knowledge I have and will obtain; and to begin building a community to surround myself with within this space to start building towards a better future for everyone. I look forward to everything that is to come and am grateful for the opportunity I have been given to be able to show up here everyday and participate in Solana and in web3. I will see you all soon!
