I finally decided to listen to @steemsecrets after I learned about it from @surpassinggoogle and am really glad I did.

This must of been trying times for early adopters of Steemit. At a time when passion was what drive people instead of rewards. If we all learned to stick to the community and aim to add value to it everyday, we'll build for ourselves the best online community platform. Thanks @allerie00 for sharing this history with us.
