1. How did you hear about Steem?
Carl aka @stray is a friend of mine that turned me onto steemit. He said it was a way I could make back the $80 that I owed him. At first all I seen was @steemsports posts and turned right away. It wasn't untill I joined a discord chat @stray linked me to that I got past the trending page.
2. When did you join?
Thats easy my profile says it right on there...... You know this @whatsup
3. Why did you join? (What was the attraction?)
$$$$$ So as I said previously I kinda owed @stray a little money. Also I was intrigued to learn about the cryto world. After my first discord visit I was quite aware that steem was something like bitcoin which I knew little about.
4. Have you expanded your crypto life beyond just Steem.
I'd have to say that almost immediately happened the second I started with Steemit. I begin looking into faucets and other routes of obtaining crypto without inputting money to begin with. I found @klye had a steem faucet and immediately made 5 emails and went to town sending all the faucet money back to a single account. I figured hey its the huge internet nobody will miss my little gulp from this faucet. Well when I stumbled back into the discord chat @walden greated me with how he heard I did that and it wasn't nice. The community got a lot smaller to me that day. So I gave back my unfairly taken steem to @klye and apologized. He gave me back tenfold of the steem I took because he like my honest nature. I settled for some mining in the end. I mined xmr and exchanged it for steem to build my sp up.
- How would you explain your current interest in Steem and Crypto in general?
I see it as another form of money. I know it is more volatile and has the chance to become more valuable if I play my cards right. I hate seeing Federal Reserve Note on every dollar I spend. As of now I'm just trying to ride out these lows. Its also winter where I live which is kinda a drag on the economy. I've spent some good portions of my steem to help make ends meet. So my current interest in steem and crypto is as a way so supplement my survival.
- Are you holding or investing (no judgment here, I am just wanting to prove or disprove the value)
Not sure the exact question. I do like to hold Steem Power because posting voting commenting is a great investment. I do like to use Crypto and Steem to make ends meet but in the end I'm just having fun if thats an answer to this question at all.
Thanks for doing this! :)
No thank you!!! Got me thinking back to my roots.
