Surfing The Largest Waves In the World

TobySurf
My name is Toby and I am a professional big wave surfer tackling the giants from Nazare, Portugal to Teahupoo, Tahiti. If you have not heard of those places, do a quick image search. I got into Bitcoin several years ago after one of my friends introduced me to it. Before that I surfed half the year around the world and worked the other half at a valet job since that was the only thing that allowed me to go travel half the year. Once I got into Bitcoin, I soon became interested in other crypto currencies because it was new and the markets never closed. I never understood why stock markets close. I mean, does the whole world economy shut down for 2 days to take a break? Nope.
To make a long story short, I ended up putting much of my paycheck and tips towards crypto currencies throughout the years even when my friends and family said I was crazy and told me I would loose it all. Mostly Litecoin and Bitcoin. They did not do much for a while but this year they finally woke up. I was about to head back to California where I am from but now that we have begun this crypto boom, there is no need for that. I quit. I literally am free to pursue my passion every day of the year. Crypto has given not only myself but countless others the chance to chase their dreams. With Steemit, I am hoping to have a great relationship as well.
