The original Steemit days were insane. All sorts of people writing pro-steemit mindless euphoria propaganda and earning $100s for it! It was a positive feedback loop that created an aura of irrational exuberance. Some were wise enough to convert the Steemit gains into Bitcoin.

I heard about Steemit from a crypto group on Facebook in spring 2016. I was sent a blurb about some guy earning $1500 for one post along with a link to check it out. Took one look at the main page, saw the high-dollar trending posts and said "riiight" and clicked away.
But I came back a few days later, and kept lurking (and learning about Steemit) until I joined the following year. Those were the days! :)
