How did you discover cryptocurrencies?
What was your first impression on the crypto culture?
How much have you grown with regards to crypto assets?
What best practices and right attitude can you suggest to newbies?
How do you handle the challenges and the stress of market fluctuations?
What can you say and how will you try to convince skeptics?

Basically, you need to storytell about your crypto journey and everything you can share about cryptocurrencies.

Why is @steemitpowerupph hosting such a contest?
Our group is fairly new and still a baby account, we need a boost and we want to proudly come out as the crypto enthusiast bunch that we are. We decided our first contest to be in line with our passion. Like we said, we want to inform and we want to empower fellow Steemians everything regarding crypto. We think this initiative will help people get a healthy idea about crypo when crypto enthusiasts share their own crypto journey. We want to help open the minds of Steemians who aren't into crypto yet to learn more about it so they can expand their horizons and to be able to fully understand Steem and the blockchain with these concepts. Basically, we are here to help as many as we can by leading everyone to their crypto awakening.

Share your crypto journey now and win SBDs! In Crypto We Trust! Steem to the Moon!
