I knew nothing about cryptos before Steemit. Just that there's something called Bitcoin too technical for me too understand.
- I think it was an Anonymous post on FB that mentioned Steemit as a platform where you can make money from posting.
- June 2017.
- As a former journalist, writing is something I enjoy, it's something I'm used to and I do need to earn something. I did think it might be some scam, but since no one asked me any money to join I thought I'd give it a try. Took me a while to understand it is not a scam - all the people talking about imaginary money. (I thought I'd mention that since you're interested in onboarding normal people!)
- Yes. I used some of the profits of December 2017 to buy a little BTC and ETH. I'm always on the lookout for crypto projects, although as I wrote in a recent post the one I like best is Steem(it).
- I've learned a lot and I now believe crytpos are here to stay so I need to be part of it. As for Steem, I've invested too much time and energy here, it's become part of who I am right now.
- With the bear markets, of course I'm hodling. I even bought some Steem two months ago, not much, but still. Even if Steem goes up, the idea is to take some profits, but definitely not powering down, as that's a long term investment.
