As an extrovert who works from home I often feel a compulsion to engage strangers in a conversation if an opportunity presents itself. That's a big reason why I'm on Steem, by the way. I most likely never would've found my way here if it weren't for @gamer00 who told me about Steem in February 2017.
Sentiment was pretty low on Steem back then because I remember even @gamer00 talking about it somewhat negatively back then. Partly because of that and the fact that I was busy with other stuff, I never really delved into altcoins including STEEM back then, which would've been superb move in retrospect.
