Welcome and hello steemers my name is Trey Williams and I go simply by the online blogger name TreyGrinds. I see myself as a very diverse person in the universe. I have many different types of interest that span many different areas of life which helps me relate to a variety of people. I am very excited about finding out about the SteemIt platform because it's an amazing way for me to bring all of my interest together and share them with the world and motivate others to do the same. At my current position in life I am a new real estate agent and real estate investor which is not an easy occupation by any means which has brought me here during my life journey. 

To begin I must tell how I got here to the site. To start the year I quit my 9 to 5 job with the few thousand dollars in my bank account and decided I would become a real estate agent and investor. Little did I know that unforeseen some circumstances would creep up and dwindle my cash and I would be searching for other ways to make money throughout the year. Along with being an investor and agent which is my lifelong dream because it can bring financial freedom with hard work and dedication. Now how did I find the Steemit? 

Just four days ago I woke up my birthday with tons of motivation inside me and I got on my Facebook page knowing I would have many birthday wishes from friends and family. But one of the first post that I saw of the day was from another real estate investor and cryptocurrency investor. I had seen him and many other investors in the past posting about Bitcoin making substantial gains but this Bitcoin I knew nothing about. But I did know it was some type of  way to make money. So on this day I saw him post about Litecoin skyrocketing so I decided to ask him how can I buy this Litecoin because I don't want to miss the boat on making money just like i did with on Bitcoin. So I decided to take action and I do a little research on cryptocurrency and Litecoin and for my birthday I decided I would purchase myself  some Litecoin. Good thing I did because it peaked my interest and I continue to read about cryptocurrency investing, watching YouTube videos about how people have been making substantial amounts of money investing in cryptocurrency. I also watched  a Netflix  movie about how cryptocurrency started in the first place . Once I watched the documentary and understood how blockchain worked and how money can be made in cryptocurrency and how it will change the future I was instantly hooked.  This was a way for me to still be active in real estate investing but also I could use my spare time to invest money in cryptocurrency and make some cash on my own time at anytime without having to work another W2 job. To me this was beyond amazing .I made my first small purchase the morning of  my birthday August 27, 2017  of Litecoin (LTC) at $58 and sold it at $90.15. This gave me the confidence to make more purchases. I got off track with my story, now back to how I found Steemit and why do I like it ?

The way I found Steemit was by watching crypocurrency  bloggers mention it in their post as a way to blog and earn Steemit dollars then you can exchange the Steems dollars for Bitcoin (BTC) and use them to invest in the cryptocurrency market. This sounded like a win win to me. I could start blogging, earn cryptocurrency, invest and exchange it for some USD . Im not going to drag this post out to much longer. I just wanted to introduce you to myself and for you to  learn about my story. Please follow me, like this post as there will be many more post coming documenting my journey as a blogger, investor, ultra runner, health wellness advocate and more. Please follow my Facebook, Youtube and IG accounts Thank you for you time and PEACE
