Hi Steemit! My name is Jochem Gerritsen and I'd like to introduce myself :) I'm a freelance online marketer and part of the team behind Hash Rush, a cryptocurrency mining browser game.

Before you ask: 'What is a cryptocurrency mining game?', let me first introduce myself. 

<h2>A bit about myself</h2>
Before getting into Hash Rush, let me first introduce myself. I'm a (tall) guy from the Netherlands, interested in cryptocurrencies and bouldering, and I currently work as an online marketing freelancer. 

In my daily work, I do all kinds of things such as copywriting (including this piece), search engine optimisation, WordPress development, and much more. I work for a variety of clients, but I focus mostly on startups — I like the flexibility and challenges that these small(er) companies bring.

Anyway, one reason I signed up to Steemit is to get the latest news about cryptocurrencies — so here I am! I'm not an expert at all, so I think I could learn quite a lot from the people here at Steemit. 

At the same time, I think the Hash Rush project is super interesting and could really benefit from the community that you (dare I say, 'we?') have here on Steemit.

So, that's a bit about me. If you like to hear more about me, my views on crypto or other things I find interesting - follow me on Steemit (or [Twitter](www.twitter.com/jochemgerritsen)).

<h2>About Hash Rush</h2>

But let me also mention the second reason that I'm here, which is [Hash Rush](www.hashrush.com). Hash Rush is the first hash-powered (browser) game. In other words, it is an RTS game, with in-game currency that is backed by real hash power.

Sounds exciting? I think it does! 

Anyway, I won't get into the details of the game, but if you're interested, we've recently published an [article on our PR campaign](https://medium.com/@Hash_Rush/the-hash-rush-pr-reward-system-eb5d26a5032c) on Medium. Participation gets rewarded with our very real Ethereum-based crypto token called Rush Coin!

Also, we'll be publishing a large article tomorrow (on both Steemit and Medium), that tells you more about the game, its mechanics and a bunch of other stuff. 

For now, I hope it's sufficient to give you a glimpse of the Hermeian Solar System (the fictional 'world' of Hash Rush) with this art work, and if you're interested, follow us on [Medium](www.medium.com/@Hash_Rush) or [Twitter](www.twitter.com/hashrushgame).

Let me end this introduction by saying that I'm excited to join the Steemit community and I'm looking forward to reading your (interesting) stories.

If you have any questions about Hash Rush or myself, please shoot!
