Beautiful mark/goal reached, I'm almost reaching the 6 months, and everyday that passes I only regret of not having find this platform (community) earlier.
Reading your post, I realised that I have no idea of how I found out about Steemit, the only thing I remember was to wait some time, about a week, to have my account ready to be used. I can only find a justification for that: I had no idea how amazing this was, and how big this could become.
