It's 2 Years this month that I joined Steemit, 26 Moons Celebration
Why am I still here on Steemit?
To be honest the 1st year was a No Show, not interested in learning Markdown, already involved with cryptocurrencies, blogging, swings and slides of Social Media, not wishing to become embroiled into another crypto! (Later learned another 2 crypto's, plus a gazillion passwords, nonetheless learning was motivation enough).
Sudden turn-around a year later, my thoughts changed to... why am I supporting platforms where you are learning nothing new? Wasting time on platforms that do not pay (thumbs up) longstanding online friends @hilarski @detlev @uwelang kept reminding me to make the change, eventually after discussing with @sydesjokes decided to make a concerted effort.
Blockchain technology, bitcoin, crypto all made good sense already, move away from old technology. Hello Steemit, I'm not searching for a get rich quick system, seeking a nice to be paid for your time, effort, original work!
26 Moons later, more versed in blockchain systems, Steemit held their end of the bargain I am still learning something new every day with no rags to riches story or glory, fun for people who enjoy sharing, meeting people from around the world, learning blockchain, seeing new projects develop, visit new places through the lens of Steemit members.
I thoroughly enjoy the Steemit community!
Requirements of content, for this contest in @jk6276'words:
Write at least 150 words on why you are steeming now. We all come for the money, I am guessing, but why are you still here. There is a bit of a glum mood around about the state of crypto, and the price of STEEM. I am hoping for some positive stories about what keeps you Steeming, and where you see things going from here.
Special thanks to people mentioned in the content for the gentle nudge given at the time, greatly appreciated. Yes I should have started when I signed up, I am here now... Steeming my way around!
Communities I support: @qurator @steemitbloggers @teamsouthafrica @kryptonia

@joanstewart nice way of putting it "26 moons".
Actually a snippet from my steemd.com profile @claudiaz it was fun opening yesterday and seeing a special greeting.
it makes one day that much more special, have a great weekend @joanstewart
Excellent eclipse capture!!
Seemed to go well with the celebration @millerjtaipe image from a recent post of mine https://steemit.com/@joanstewart/celestial-double-feature-moon-and-mars (older than 7 days so don't vote on it...)
Congratulations @joanstewart. Wow two years already.
Time flies @jusipassetti especially when you having fun.
Amazing pic!
Thanks @maryresp have a lovely day.
I think I'm going to join this contest after all. It's just that the competition is hard! Btw, I really love that 26 moons thing.
@Kryptonia
I find it difficult to cut down to 150 words, that is when I start writing. Never really win much, for me it is mingling and seeing other wonderful people adding their thoughts. I got the idea from @reonlouw, just happened to be on the day my 26 moons badge came up on steemd, time to try write something short and sweet!
I'm behind you by almost a year and I have been posting steadily for most of that time. Like you, it is all about the people, connection and learning new things for me. I am still on board no matter the price. Coming to you from @kryptonia and thank you for the task.
I have met some brilliant people through @kryptonia and here in steemit, everyone needs a little extra money or we would not be here. Supporting some charity organizations is another good reason @fitinfun
#YouAreHope Foundation support for charity by @sircork
I am glad to be here and be part of this new blockchain tecnology and I think this is a great opportunity for all of us. Kryptonia ID @mejia_martinez

steemit allows us to express ourselves, connect with other people and gain crypto and learn about new technologies @joseleonardojose
I enjoy finding new artists in variety of fields I never new much about @jos3lider really some amazing people make up the backbone of steemit.
what a milestone, still pushing on is a no mean feat
@kryptonia
Helping people to find a way forward in this new world where many do not have this wonderful opportunity @eprolific the least we can do is help each other.
Good thing you have friends that pushes you to do things that are meaningful.Lets continue to enjoy making friends online.
There are so many others not mentioned, a few came to mind whilst writing.
If I added @exploretraveler @superiorcoin @kryptonia all have wonderful people helping quietly, each of those will swell into many more people, too many for a short 150 word contest.
Congrats for your huge achievement!!! Its so cool to stay that much time in this platform, I wish you keep improving a lot, good luck for you my mate! @acosta from Kryptonia.
Supporting each other every day, learning from one another @acostajd it is motivation enough.
Nice post my id is @chetachi26
Hello @chetachi26 😊
Glad that you are very active on steemit now because i am a fan of your posts. Thanks for your friends too for pushing you to write.
Thanks for your kind words @croxdragnel
The reason I have been on Steemit (For the past 263 days!) is that I love writing about stuff I know and having already been involved prior to steemit in crypto-mining, I thought it was a great way of not only passing on my knowledge but also getting paid for it. I usually write about either social media or search engine optimisation as these are my two fields of expertise, however I do admit I like to have the odd rant too as well as the occasional gardening project post. I am also passionately involved with @Kryptonia my username there is @socialmediaseo as this works hand in hand with Steemit and a great way of expanding your overall earnings.
They say if you do the same thing several times, it becomes a habit, and certainly Steemit is one of my good habits, every morning I sit down with a freshly brewed cup of coffee and put 'pen to paper' (fingers to keys.)
And I really look forward to reading other people's musings such as yourself.
Have a GREAT day.
Enjoyed both your topics @socialmediaseo have enjoyed reading both. Putting fingers to the keyboard, some days super easy others not, never know when I have an internet connection good enough to transfer long posts 😊
I had some issues this morning with connection, so I can appreciate your dilema
Wow, amazing and excellent capture of an eclipse.. thanks for sharing bro, keep it up..
Thanks for comment @vsrsatish
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I am here to learn. I think the best way to learn is to do and test. Want to learn more about crypto and new ways to comminucate and share all over the world.
