Introduction - New to Hive My first first
My name is Jerome.. Born and raised in Central South Africa... attended university in Bloemfontein, Free state where i studied Micro Biology and environmental management... i am doing Archaeology now . i love history and the stories that come with them. especially stories about ancient cultures..
i love soccer [playing and watching] (i think i am the biggest Chelsea Fan in the world). training in the gym is essential... when i was young i wanted to play professionally but now i just keep fit to play (not the other way around)
i love science and technology, hopefully i can live and work on Mars one day (soon) [as per Stephen Hawking's advice]... reading is one of my favorite hobbies... non-fiction only...
and don't forget about music. i love music (who doesn't?). a lot. i also host a show on a local internet radio station about once or twice a month... This is a photo of my mixer where the magic happens
love connecting with old friends and meeting new people...
I believe this crypto financial system could potentially change the world... it is a Type I (one) civilization (technology?) financial system... a decentralized system based on abundance rather than lack...
if anyone doubts this...
"Regardless of what has been said taking something off the internet is the same as burning a book..."

Welcome Jerome to HIVE you are here !!!!
Thats a interesting you are from SA we have more great hivers from there, @jaynie @chekohler @joanstewart and great you put your first blog and left it here on the blockchain, so welcome, welcome to the Hive movement and blockchain. Your first blog is up and on the chain, hope you feel relieved, and not afraid of what is coming your way in the comments.
We know it can be daunting and frightening because all is new.
If you want to read some history this is a blog https://peakd.com/hive-198524/@hivepeople/hive-for-noobs-hive-198524 about it.
But for now the new beginning, you will have fun blogging and vlogging I promise. But in the beginning it’s hard and all is new and maybe you need help. We have amazing people here and a help discord if you need it. I love blogging, and was a newcomer once aswell so i know the feeling. The biggest and best advice is always be carefull with all your passwords, Never give those up !! I speak from experience !
What always will help you build your new hive account, and profile on here, is establishing relationships and the best way to build them is to comment on other people's posts, there are so many topics here, and there will always be one that is of interest to you but also be interested in them, by reading and upvoting. This will draw them to your own account aswell, where they will discover a little more about you and relationships take off from there, and comments and votes will be the next step. When you have a twitter account you van visit #hivelift for more information.
I use Peakd to post to Hive. But hive.blog is an option too. They work well and let me know if you have difficulty.
Good luck with with hive experience and I Will See you around and may you find here what you are looking for. Just remember that all good things come in good time and never giving up is THE key to the big succes on the Blockchain.
Also you could join the the Terminal discord. Or visit @heyhaveyamet for more new arrivals, newbies exposure in the beginning is very important, and you can always learn from others.
Let me know if this was helpfull or if you need more help, or better see you in Discord
the Terminal.
Here is the invite its free,

Hey Jerome, welcome to HIVE always great to see more South Africans finding out about this place! The more locals the better, can’t keep letting the rest of the world enjoy blockchain without us, since we like to be late to the party, but NOT this time
If you like to talk crypto you should check out the @hodlcommunity and leofinance.io it’s a site that is built on HIVE but only crypto content is cuRated on it
Plenty to see and learn so I won’t overload you, how deep you want to go down the rabbit hole is up to you
All the best, hope to see you around
Hi thank you... for sure we have to enjoy this... lets see how far the rabbit hole really goes...
Another South African touches down on Hive, great news.
Wishing you a wonderful new week, another fun adventure has begun @poomps
