Yeah, I didn't know about it, until a miner (smooth) made an id for me and he told me he's reserved it. From what I read later he reserved some bitcointalk.org ids for users that might want to use the steemit platform. At that point I had no idea what steemit was. So when he told me I looked it up. Thought it was interesting but didn't have much time... something like a week or two later I told him that I'd take steemit for a spin and made a few posts - nothing major though, although, it did create some initial payout to get the steem rolling so to speak.

I got more involved after the recent rise in price... It was around that time when I started thinking more about it and whether it can succeed. I think this may probably become the first mass-adopted cryptocurrency project. And if it goes well it will have a positive effect for the whole cryptosphere because it expands the use of cryptocurrencies in new demographics. It's not just an altcoin. It's a whole platform.

I haven't heard of "Debunking Economics" but I'll have a look at it. Thanks for the suggestion. Again, welcome aboard...
