Hi Taraz. Quite a mouthful. But all true. I think that you have to learn to be streetwise /steemwise. You have to know the basics but yes it is a bit like the real world. Who you know and not what you know counts on here. I didn't realize that at first and maybe I have just been lucky with the people I hang out with on here. Who would've thought I would know so many Finns. I didn't know one until I joined on here. Yes you are an Aussie Finn so you are still an outsider. You have helped me so much and I will when I get bigger also help new members wherever I can. Sounds like a kid saying when I grow up I know but you are nothing without power.
I have been on here for 60 days and had no idea what I had jumped into.
Lol. and you found talkative ones, rare as hen's teeth.
I think many people here for a year or two still don't understand what they have discovered.
