ON A BITCOIN STANDARD.

PROFILE
 
A Barbadian by birth and a Bitcoiner at heart; as a Technologist and Freedom Advocate grounded in decentralization, and open-source principles.
Development
Primary
Circa Ages 7 - 11: Cultivated discipline through Catholic influenced education, including emphasizing punctuality and oral hygiene.

Circa Age 10: Simultaneously attended an non-school related computer training program and was taught how to create and load a pac-man-like clone to a cassette. It was extremely slow and highly unreliable but in hind sight, that highly rewarding classic piece of retro computing nostalgia began the defining moment. 
Secondary
Circa Ages 11 - 16: Thoroughly enjoyed both STEM fields (Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Mathematics) as well as applied sciences (Agricultural Science, Industrial Arts, Drafting Technology).

Simultaneously started my first entrepreneurship stint with the creation of products for sale, namely: Plaster of Paris ornaments and hangings; clothes pin place mats and pen/pencil holders.

College

Circa Ages 16 - 18: Studied Social Sciences (Sociology, Economics, Law, Political Science) and Statistics.
Tertiary
Circa Ages 19 - 23: Honed analytical rigor via comprehensive textual study. Following the college training trajectory, the Tertiary Training took place somewhere between the ages to 19 and 23 with the benefit of understanding and appreciating the resulting analytical value of comprehensively reading, from cover to cover, every assigned text; regardless of whether it was 50 pages or 1500 pages. Outside of that absolutely nothing else there was useful or has any functional bearing on current modern times.

Circa Ages 23 - 27: Subsequently pursued what I was looking for and turned to self-directed distance training programs in: web development, network engineering, database engineering, electronic commerce, data analytics and online marketing.
