Nice post. I did start out (and end up retiring early) on bitcoin. I was mining and giving out whole bitcoins to friends just so they had a sample of how it worked. I handed out $3 here and $3 there, many of those coins just got deleted with the app just to recoup some of space on their phone. The same $3 is now 731 last I looked. Steem will get there too - people don't stop to think that this is worldwide.
