Thank you. I actually have Steem to thank for that. Thats what got me into the world of crypto. 5 months, one SteemFest later I am running my own witness node for Golos, and participating in some cool crypto projects involving bitshares (and something else as well).
I myself consider @kingscrown (who does a lot of posts about crypto) and @steempower (who does weekly Bitshares State of the Network posts) and of course @officialfuzzy (who runs Beyond Bitcoin, which is uber-cool) to be knowledgable. Hope I didn't miss anyone. In fact both Steemit has a thriving Bitshares community, but also there is a Bitshares Telegram Channel. I urge you to check it out, since it is a good time to keep an eye on Bitshares (especially if either the current pump is over, and it isn't), besides DEX is really cool, and there is a ton of stuff in the pipeline (hopefully some marketing too!). Still it is best to learn about things before using/investing.
After some thought I decided that it might be also good idea to shamelessly plug the thing that I am part of, that is @blockchained, we have a Steemit witness too!
Edit: typos & shameless @blockchained plug. :-D
Thanks for this info!
