Dear Steem Community,
Thank you for the support and feedback following our introductory post last week. Your kind comments have made us feel welcome on the Steem platform. Now we are now back with our second post announce run a small writing contest for everyone here.
We are aware that the Steem community is made up of not only of cryptocurrency enthusiasts and traders but also of ordinary people who are interested in the idea of being able to gain rewards for posting content on Steem. Because of this, we would like to host a small writing contest that is open to everyone. The theme is "Why Cryptocurrency Is Important to Me".
CoinGecko is one of the largest cryptocurrency data aggregators, tracking more than 2,800 coins listed on more than 200 cryptocurrency exchanges. This is indeed a lot of coins and each of you might like a different coin for reasons that are unique to yourself.
We would like to hear your perspective on why a particular cryptocurrency (or cryptocurrencies in general) is important to you. How have cryptocurrencies have changed your life? How have they become useful in your day-to-day activities? Do you think cryptocurrencies will play a role in your life in the future? These are just some questions that you may use to craft a post for this contest. However, feel free to show us, in any way you like,how cryptocurrencies are important to you!
When we say cryptocurrencies, We're including STEEM alongside the other popular coins such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, EOS, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Cardano, or any other coins as well.

@coingecko here is my entry thank you for this great contest https://steemit.com/coingeckowritingcontest/@whitestallion/why-cryptocurrency-is-important-to-me
It is hoped that my entry can offer something different and interesting to the pool of entrants; I don’t think that my views will be shared by all, but it is hoped that they can provoke further thought.
I’m very thankful that @coingecko have decided to run this contest; they were originally my preferred resource for checking crypto exchange rates, but if they keep running activities like this in the future, I will be sure to keep paying attention even when I’m not planning on trading anything.
