A few weeks ago XEM hit a spike so I sold some of my holdings on Poloniex. I scanned the trollbox and noted that people were talking a lot about Steem, which had been recently added to Poloniex. Then last week I saw some kind of article about Steemit where the author was saying that new registrations were going to close and that was a good thing. The article explained more what the platform was like and it sounded pretty interesting. I figured I'd better sign up quick in case registrations closed and then I could educate myself about what I'd just signed up for later. So I registered and breathed a sigh of relief that I could still do it. Then I started reading articles and the more I learned, the more I wanted to get involved with posting content, so that's what I've been doing. My earnings have been small so far, but I'm not worried. It's actually nice to be able to post a short post like this one (https://steemit.com/steemit/@wiser/eureka), which took just a few minutes to write and earn 34 cents on it. I think I'm here to stay :)
