That's a tricky question. Well, the question is simple but it's difficult to answer. I guess it depends on many different things.
For instance, dantheman, you and a handful of other whales/dolphins back in mid to late 2016 was upvoting some of my content which was by far the coolest thing I had ever experienced online. I had no crypto- or blockchain experience and I was able to earn a months salary from just a few posts. That was amazing. I can't even describe how awesome that felt. Those gestures from you guys encouraged me to continue, and I've been here during all the ups and downs.
Nowadays, the first people I can think of is @abh12345, along with @paulag, @steevc, @preparedwombat, @skramatters and @deadspace.
Those were the good old days, never to return.
Yeah, I guess it could never have continued like that with time and growth, but I personally loved those days. It was amazing to see how users from all over the world got help to pay their rent or to buy a car. Users helped others in need, and that was wonderful. I loved it.
It felt like it was more about doing things for others back in those days, even though I obviously know that greed and selfishness existed too. It would have been cool to see what Steem would've been if it had continued like that.
Wow, so nice to see my name on your list.. Really humbled and appreciative, the feeling is mutual. @hitmeasap is high on my list and not just because I got a nod here.
Also @chekohler @justinparke there's actually a solid couple dozen or so. I think my friends list on steempeak of 50 steemians is pretty solid..

@skramatters - Flattered...and to think this heterosteembromance began from a tale of stolen Greek square burger technology.
