Welcome to Steem @thecryptodad! Very pleasantly surprised, while looking for something else, to "stumble" across your profile. Knew instantly, "Hey! There's CryptoDad!!"
Joined Steem myself in August 2017 and your YouTube video was one of the first bits of info I found in "arming myself" with all I needed to know to be secure, before starting into the "crypto universe" ...
I actually put together a fairly detailed MS Word doc, starting with some notes from your video, then expanded for my own use, as I learned more.
I thought someday I would get it turned into a post in here, credit you with the inspiration behind it (with a link to your YouTube video), and maybe even "reach out" and suggest you consider joining Steem.
Well ... Life, my relentless "war with time" (seems to be a losing battle ...) and here you are anyway!
While invested since August 2017, I only got "engaged" on May 14th. You likely have already figured this out, but there is a lot to learn "in here" ...
For what it is worth, my latest Reflections: Adding "Value" to the Steem Blockchain - Chapter 1 post may be of some value to you. Intended simply to lend "a helping hand" to someone who was of help to me early on.
Given the impressions I was left with back then (obviously still with me ...), I'd really appreciate your perspective, i.e. "the good, the bad, and the ugly" in any comments you would care to make.
Now following you. And your intro post upvoted!
Again, welcome to the Steem "ecosystem" @thecryptodad! 😊 👍
P.S. Love the "mug" shot. Nice touch!
Thank you for the kind and well worded reply. I have started reading your "reflections" post and am already "filling in the blanks" on my overall steem understanding. There is a lot to learn. But it is more fascinating everyday. I'm hooked! I have also followed you!
