I found steemit at a point in my life when I was desperate and in need of help. I had lost millions to ponzis and my business was failing. I first heard of it from Chris Dunn YouTube channel but I didn't take it seriously because I didn't have $39 to buy the online course. I soon discovered a guy on facebook @samstickkz who was making a lot of noise about Cryptos. I got guidance from him. I have made $260 on a single post once. Steemit was my beckon of Hope. It helped me get back on my feet.
My initial thoughts: I didn't take it seriously. Didn't know it could be this big. I actually had to do a lot of learning and reading and research and the more research I did, the more I fell in love. Thank you @acidyo
People that do this about a free and open-source platform... T_T
