I am new to steemit, and steem for that matter. I actually am new to blockchain and crypto tech in general. I got my first crypto earning by joining musicoin.org as an artist, about a month ago, and I am stoked. From there, my enthusiasm snowballed and I started applying to other platforms like Voise and Aurovine, just to diversify my crypto intake. Now that I was approved by steem, I just can't wait to start piling those beautiful tokens up myself! I am also convinced those new cryptos (and the blockchain tech in general) are way undervalued and am convinced we are on the cusp of a societal revolution, where all content creators will finally claim back the power to manage their own output and get rewarded fairly. As more and more people get exposed to the advent of these new and exciting opportunities and flood sites like steemit and musicoin with registering requests, demand by content consumers will also directly grow. And as demand grows, value will rise exponentially. I think 2018 is the year of the blockchain. I will be hodling!
