I remember back in the day my friend and I entered a hackathon where the prize was 5 BTC (About 1k at the time, IIRC). We didn't win, but it was a great introduction to the world of crypto. I'm really grateful for polished sites like Steemit and Coinbase that make it easier for people to get in. Old messenger boards and shady download websites definitely scared away lots of potential early adopters.

I think steemit has definitely been huge in that respect. Shady sites added to the whole general perception of crypto being scammy.
Imagine if you had won the prize and kept it till now!!
