My Introduction to Steemit

Hey guys! My name is Antonio Ortega and I'm from Mexico. I'm married and a happy father of three beautiful kids: Alejandro, Fatima and Antonio. Here's a picture with me and little Tony.

I'm from one of the most beautiful places in my country, Taxco.


Here in Taxco we're well known silversmiths, so in my hometown you can find some of the most beautiful works made in silver.


In fact I've been working with silver since I was 8 years old (equeal to 29 years of experience). Some of this time working in the workshop and some more time selling silver jewelry to the turists who comes to Taxco.

During this time I remeber someday that I was trying to sell to a guy from Germany a nice silver necklace just like this.

But the guy wanted to pay me with a digital asset called "Bitcoin", and I really didn't know what he was talking about...

However, I'm a person who always like to know things, so I told this guy to wait for five minutes for me to understand what Bitcoin was.

So, I went to my computer to research about the famous Bitcoin and I just got shocked about the project.

"Even if I couldn't exchange those Bitcoins right in that moment, I could exchange them sometime in near future" I thought...

So I downloaded a Bitcoin wallet on my phone and I accepted my first Bitcoin payment!

And one week later I could exchange those Bitcoins in a website called localbitcoins.com

From that experience, I started researching a lot about cryptocurrencies, blockchain and the new ICOs projects.

So, in this blog I'll be sharing with you some analysis about this topic.

Thank you so much for stopping by!
