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

in #busy6 years ago (edited)
  1. Through my now brother in law here in Asia that is friends with a very prominent figure here on steem. Almost simultaneously a facebook friend also told me about steem. This was probably 18 months ago.
  2. I didn't join until October 2018
  3. To be able to post and say what I want without being censored or judged by real world friends n family.
  4. No, in fact I really don't exactly know how to go about powering down steem or anything of the sort, nor do I care, I'm not here to enjoy the economy 😂
  5. My interest in crypto is quite high, after arriving here I discovered I could learn a great deal about not just blockchain but technology in general..
  6. As mentioned before my lack of awareness and also lack of time (desire) to navigate any crypto beyond steem makes me a holder. If this comment earns me a thousand USD worth of steem I'd reconsider. But, having survived flag wars and witnessed witnesses and the like bid bot their shit posts into trending and earning more in one post than I have in three months leads me to not give a flying fuck about taking this place seriously.

It's mostly for my own entertainment and to give some of these circle jerks a reality check. That reality check is the real world is also far far far away from giving any fucks about this blockchain. Not that I don't agree that it's the best place for eccentric internet dwellers to dream it's just not anywhere close to accessible for non geeky crypto human beings that have actual established lives in the grind house of real economics.

When I first arrived I had time to figure things out, once i did I was totally disenfranchised and fortunately am blessed to be pursuing a life that is owned by the machine of global economics as at least out there people don't pretend the system can be fixed with a hardfork...

Thank you what a great job everyone is doing!

No problem, I’m here so I’m happy and somewhat obligated to contribute to any causes that have potential to evolve the blockchain. This data is vital for growth and planning where we’re headed, so thank you for compiling this very important information.

It's a selfish mission. I also got involved in crypto due to getting an easy onboard via Steem.
