Hello @happyme !
I found Steemit, by his cryptocurrency STEEM, because before I bought and sold bitcoins with my national currency. Later i found, is much better doing trading with another cryptocurrencies (that´s was when de ETF of bitcoins was rejected) and i found Poloniex.
So without much information about trading, began to do it. By bought Shadow Cash without know nothing about it, i lost 50$, i am from a country where each dollar is so much valuable ... So later of this i began to study each coin where i put my money, one of this coins was STEEM. I studied his project behind this and I liked it so much that I joined right away, even so bought and sum of STEEM to invest in it.
And now here I am. I think Steemit is a great community where you can learn about everything and so nice. This is my prefer social network.
Regards!
