Welcome! It's a brave new world. More like "new" than "brave", but I guess you'll find out about this pretty soon. Just like life, Steemit can be unpredictable at times.
We crossed paths at the d10e conference in Bucharest a year ago, if I remember well. Enjoy your time here (and if you want to gauge your performance, like, you know, financially, have a look at http://steem.supply).
Nice to bump into you digitally. Thanks for sharing that link, very useful. Makes me want to add more steem to upvotes!
