# This is my Grandpa staring off into the Horizon ![190269_1006066608207_219579_n.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXs6eoAnpHzE3ndBWfbjz57xG5DmEfNZyUJsDEt2iKq1M/190269_1006066608207_219579_n.jpg) This man is largely responsible for my early obsession with computer games due to introducing me to Doom! As an Episcopalian priest (he's now retired), it always surprised me when he was more in touch with modern culture than a lot of other adults I knew. From the early days, he has always been interested in his kids and grandkids and their hobbies. On top of being rather technically inclined, he is also quite the photographer. I am trying to encourage him to use some of his time in retirement to share his unpublished works with the world. The stories and trips he has gone on and photographed will surely impart some level of knowledge and wanderlust in readers. # Grandpa has also invested in cryptocurrency Yes, that's right. My sweet grandpa has invested in cryptocurrency despite all the talk about risks and scams. This is likely in part due to my own interest and research, as well as his kids (my mother and uncle) that I have convinced to invest. So far, I have seen some very healthy returns and things only look brighter as the days go on. Depending on the level of support this post receives and the encouragement offered, I will be writing a complete beginners guide to SteemIt, blogging, and STEEM (the currency). Hopefully encouraging our elders to participate in cryptocurrency and the technological revolution will bring this to a more mainstream audience and cause the prices to keep on rising. # A few pictures ![178213_4229589812511_2028749781_o.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQme7zXTbqSonMC2cRRVeKHNVygYKov4f52a9BLtjHejGH6/178213_4229589812511_2028749781_o.jpg) ![15747637_10209792278538180_1140387966828699124_n.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSJYr6T74oDo9kyENQLJR7VxgS8gFAy9tN4jma3dxeMtC/15747637_10209792278538180_1140387966828699124_n.jpg) # Leave your comments and encouragement on this post and I will make sure he sees it. SteemIt is nothing if not welcoming!

Come on in friend, the water's warm. You look like a genuinely good man with much to share, I would be eager to hear stories of your life as well as see your photography. Just keep your expectations on the low side for the amount of money you will earn off your post especially in the first few months, think of it like Facebook where you get zero $$$ return, and then any rewards you do receive will seem wonderful. And you have an amazing grandson @netuoso is one of the best on Steemit in my opinion, and I am sure he will help be your guide. Also you can always come to me for any help I may be able to offer. I hope to see you here and be following you soon. Take care

I just found this so am resteeming it a little late. But what great grandparents to have! One elder I know has fitted a secret drawer into a room in his house to stash his gold and thrive on our rso - listen well to the elders :)

Your grandfather sounds like a very smart and interesting man who would have a lot to offer here on Steemit. There are lots of older steemers and this is a wonderful platform for the generations to come together and learn from each other. I hope he joins--it's not necessarily much money, but it is a lot of fun and a great community of people.
