When I discovered SteemIt September last year, I told myself, hah another social site and maybe I can use it to promote my sites. Since I am involve in SEO, I am planning to use this to post articles. But I discontinued it because I am very busy at that time but I am already involve in CryptoCurrency especially Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum.
When Bitcoin hit its peak December last year and also most of the Crypto Coins, I am browsing for the CrytoCurrency coins that went up saw this STEEM coin. The logo was very familiar that I saw somewhere and then I remember this site SteemIt. And here I am. So I became very active on SteemIt and it actually change everything. And you are correct @exyle, SteemIt is way better that a Blockchain.
BTW, I also vote you as a witness and become a follower. Cheers!
