Raar!! No one survives the questioning!! ;0) great idea!
- I read about Steem being the number 2 crypto by volume for a short time in the Guardian newspaper. It mentioned that it was the cryptocurrency of the blogging site Steemit. This piqued my interest so I joined up.
- Which would have been early July 2016
- The reason I joined was twofold, a) I genuinely love blogging and writing and b) the promise of actually getting paid for it
- It didn't take me long after earning some steem dollars to wonder about how I could get the fuckers out and into the real world. This proved to be quite the difficult task for a newb, I had no knowledge of exchanges/wallets/transfers etc. Eventually I got some out and into cold hard dirty fiat. The way I did it was to sell my SBD on bittrex, which has lots of other currencies (obvs) suddenly I saw a route into buying other cryptos and went for it.
- I am interested in steem, simply from being a stakeholder and knowing what I do about the currency itself and what it has the potential for. Fast and free transactions etc. Other cryptos I am only interested in them for the possibility of profit. Most of them are fanciful nonsense vehicles for people to throw money at.
- I am a holder of many. Although, since the crypto pullback there is a large part of me that wonders if the hodl narrative is one that is being pushed out by the larger whale type investors as a way of ensuring that the people who have and continue to buy their shitcoins don't sell them.
