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

How did you hear about Steem? Finance husband was at some NY conference and told me about it.
When did you join? May 2016
Why did you join? (What was the attraction?)
I always was participating in a very active local social site (for like 10 years) but it was getting stale. So after hearing about steemit I thought, I"ll just start talking about what I know, which is gardening. Little did I know the place was populated with only crypto geeks! I knew literally nothing about crypto. I"ve had to ask A LOT of questions along the way.
Have you expanded your crypto life beyond just Steem. Not really, but I did make a coinbbase account and I helped the foundation I"m involved with accept an Ethereum donation :0)
How would you explain your current interest in Steem and Crypto in general? SInce I started so early on, I earned a lot of steem, so I just keep posting. And I get caught up in watching the market. It took me very long to figure out how to trade in some steem (which I've never done) but at least I have that coinbase account.
Are you holding or investing (no judgment here, I am just wanting to prove or disprove the value) HOlding. (lost my chance when it was at $7 cuz didn't have the coinbase account yet! but I have hope it will go even higher!)

Added thoughts:
Let me just say that the few people I have spoken with about steemit (and they are all old like me!) well, some have tried it, but the whole de-centralized thing scares them - they don't understand, or don't want to take the time to understand the complicated passwords and that there is no retrieval of your coins if you don't protect your password. I have to say, my friends don't even protect their easy passwords with like LAstPass or anything, so it's a hugely steep learning curve for many many people.
