RE: Are You An End-User That Wasn't Into Crypto Prior To Steem?

I heard about Steemit the front end (rather than Steem) from James Corbett who I’ve been subscribed to for over 10 years now – the most trustworthy researcher I know of: @corbettreport
I joined in Aug 2016 like you.
James made a good case for it being a new and uncensored social media that could have payouts.
Hell yes, at one point at the start of 2018 we were holding 24 different cryptos. All my interest in cryptos started because of Steemit
A sort of rabid obsession
Holding, but if I could go back in time I would have sold the lot in Jan 18 like I did with Bitcoin (thankfully) in Dec 17, and just held on to enough Steem (1000SP – 500SP to keep my slider and a bit extra for bots and stuff) At this point I would be thinking of buying if I wasn’t already holding.
