I will say that Steemit is what got me into crypto as well. I was aware of Bitcoin but hadn't really looked into it much.
Thanks to steemit I now own a handful of coins besides Steem/SBD and am way more familiar with blockchain and cryptos in general. I still feel like we are in the early stages of the space and as much as I regret not jumping in earlier I am happy to be here now.
I still think it's early days, too.
