What up Steemit? 

My name's Daniel and I'm excited to be here. 

I'm a big fan of Steemit's decentralized nature and the way it incentifies quality content and curation. I believe it will one day serve as an example of how monopolies, like centrally controlled media outlets, can be disrupted and outcompeted by a voluntary exchange of value among individuals empowered by technology. 

By day, I work for a financial technology company in Toronto. 
In my free time, I like to explore philosophy, Austrian economics, technology, crypto, music, and the outdoors. 

I'm an optimistic futurist and I live by the values of Truth, Love, and Freedom. 

I'm looking forward to exploring and sharing more with you all in the near future!
