It's funny because at the time, it was mammoth investing for me. I'd get an extra 25 bucks and buy 5 tokens LOLOL But nah, nothing huge up front. Mostly 25 tokens here and there when I could, and a lot of content. I got my big 'kick' when I sold steem for hive.
A lot of the OG's of the chain started mining Steem on day one. Lots of them got in at the right time and right place. But some of the newer guys and gals, invested heavily into it.
@taskmaster4450 was a guest on our old Monday night live shows for CTP, and we just thought it would be a good idea to keep the talks going. Started doing them directly after that.
