Excellent post! I discovered steemit because of my interest in crypto currencies. At first, I just bought some steem and had no intention of creating a steemit account or starting to blog. A couple months later I decided that I would check it out. I've only been on here for 20 days but was surprised by how much I liked it.

I was a bit lost at first, not really knowing what I should post about/feeling my way around, etc. I've since realized that steemit is so much more than simply posting/getting paid. It can be a way for a person to focus on their own self-development and creative expression. It's also now my main hub for crypto currency news, helping me keep my finger on the pulse of the crypto world. Also, I've already met some great people that I really like and have stuff in common with, and it's just really fun.

This is the first social media platform that I've really enjoyed. I'm excited to see what it will be like in a year or two from now.
