RE: AskSteemit #3: How did you stumble upon Steemit and what was your initial thought?

in #asksteemit7 years ago

On the 1st April 2017 I was camping with my cousins and friends the next morning I took my bike and was driving home. At a crossroad I turned off to the right at green traffic light, where then a pickup truck who had red traffic light had fully driven into my left side. I was falling over and fainted for two to three minutes when I then came back to me, I stood a little under shock. After everything was arranged with the police, I was taken to the hospital, where I had to stay the next 6 days. I have torn the Achilles tendon on the right leg in the accident and I had strong bruises.

Fortunately, nothing happened to my left leg, as I had pulled it up from Reflex shortly before the accident. I was then operated on the Achilles tendon and I got a plaster. After I was released from the hospital and arrived home, I had a lot of time since I could not walk.

I had nothing to do because I had to lie all day on the sofa, the only thing I could do was to surf the internet with my laptop.
I am very interested in Cryptos and one morning in the end of May I thought to look if there is a token that is connected with a social media platform. At the beginning I looked up, whether Facebook or Twitter have any project what is connected with cryptos.
I then came across Steemit and read a lot about it I also viewed several videos. After that, I immediately opened an account with Steemit and invested half a Bitcoin in Steem. Since then, I am a happy member of Steemit

Without the accident, I would not have had so much time to bump into Steemit, I'm very grateful to the driver of the pickup truck, even that sounds a little stupid, without him I might not be at Steemit yet.
My wounds are all good healed and I can walk quite well again.

Here is a picture of my leg:
