Hello fellow Steemians!
I've always hesitated on writing a blog or sharing videos on the Internet and I have little to no experience on content creation. But recently I found Steemit, got interested in the platform, and decided to give it a try.
I'll keep this nice and simple but in a way that it'll hopefully give you an idea of me.
Lets go!
Who am I
In this this life I have been given a name that is Miika. That's also the name I'm mostly referred to in my daily life. 19 times I have already orbited around the Sun by the time of writing this.
Where am I
Like most of the Steemians here I'm sitting on Earth (let me know if some aliens or a guy from NASA space station joins Steemit). More precisely in the Southern Finland, near the capital: Helsinki.
I have just graduated from upper secondary school (or just high school) this year so it's been 12 years of studying alltogether, though I can't say my English is still perfect but bear with me (I hate those proposition, never sure which goes where, haha).

Slave? student? the same thing? Debatable, but sometimes it felt like it.
First touch to crypto
After graduating from high school, I got some money as a gift from relatives. Being a gamer I thought it was a good time to finally upgrade my PC, for my graphics card was already seven years old.
Looking for a new card it came to me that almost all of them were out of stock, especially the high-end ones. If there were some left, the prices were ridiculous. Browsing Youtube it came apparent this was due to crypto mining, Etherium mainly.
I had been aware of Bitcoin but I have had no idea there were others such as Etherium.

But one day I decided to look what's all the mining mania about. Google and Youtube as my guidance, I found the technology, on which most of the crypto relies on: the blockhain. Not only was it the basis of bitcoin but it has been applied to many other industries and it still holds potential for solving different problems.
From that point on I was hooked: Only a few days later I was investing in projects that I personally believed in and found the most interesting. And eventually I found my way here, on Steemit; into a whole new kind of social media platform with a different ecosystem compared to others such as Facebook in which I have never been a very active user.
Where am I going
Right now I'm waiting to start my civil service this fall. But what I want to do after it is a complete mystery for me despite having three years of "thinking time" in high school.
- University? Weeee more studying
- Psychology
- Philosophy
- Social sciences
- Music? I'd rather keep it as hobby
Poker prodidn't work out- Art??? I guess why not but I don't really enjoy it that much so...
Many interests do I have, but from all the sparks nothing has really caught a good fire. Delving too much into a specific topic tends to eventually suck the enjoyment out of it. This is how I've always been and probaply will be. That's also why I have stopped chasing for "the one" passion because there likely isn't one. For me at least.
Last words
