This is my entry to the awesome contest from @karenmckersie
Crypto (particulary Steemit) has given to me an opportunity to escape the horrible economic crisis of my country Venezuela where minimum wage is like 5 dollars per month (yes like 1.5 steem PER MONTH) and the majority of the people hardly reach 20 dollars per month.
So apart from the economic benefits, steemit in particular allows me to participate in an incredible project with huge potential, I have always been a person who spends a lot of time online, but this past few years after moderating an iOS forum for some time I was mostly just an spectator, just reading and reading without participating in any community. Now with steemit I am meeting great people, having fun with all the contests, reading awesome discussions and sharing content with interesting people! I am having a great time and I am very grateful for steemit.
I joined steemit about 2 weeks ago. Today is my 14 day in this great community!
The first time I saw steemit was several months ago I believe it was around May after the huge increase in prices, maybe I found this site looking for crypto articles, I don’t quite remember. But it wasn’t until 2 weeks ago when I saw it mentioned it on a discussion on twitter. After seeing those tweets I decided to join and I was amazed because the first time I remember seeing this site I thought it was just about crypto discussion! But there is sooo much more in it! I am very happy for it.
I didn’t expect to encounter such a variety of subjects being actively discussed, from conspiracies, to politics, sports, to even philosophical articles! Everything you can imagine! So I bet anyone can find their place here on steemit because the community is growing and the subjects being discussed is also growing.
I also didn’t expect the fun poker tournaments available at lucksacks which are also great, nor did I expect great Spanish football challenges and British's ones too! I discover those like 3 days ago and I am looking forward to participate in them.
Having said that, I am looking forward for an excellent 2018 for steemit and everyone of us users! Because together we are steemit and steemit is us!

Yes! It’s awesome to be part of a growing community that in my opinion is destined to change how we use social media.
It really is awesome ! I totally agree with you !✌👍😀💕
This is a valid reason, I know how it is... (I live in Romania... I could say it's a bit better...) and Steemit (together with blockchain technology) offers us value and a wonderful community in which we can take part.
Exactly man! It’s a blessing to have discovered this site and take part in it.
i'm happy to see venezuelan people escaping the crises with cryptocurrency.
Do you have any contact? I'm willing to help the Venezuelan people, creating a specie of curation, but i need a list of who is a legitim user from Venezuela.
Can u help me?
Of course! How can we set this up?
I know some others Venezuelan users and even a Venezuelan discord channel.
Do you have discord?
i called u on Steemit Chat, do you know how uses it?
Yep I am there in the general channel
Yes! This is such a good idea. I always try to give upvotes to Venezuelans because I know it's so much more needed there (unlike here where that month's minimum wage is, like, a coffee), but I'd also like to know it's legit. Welcome to the community, @dedicatedguy.
Thank you for the help bud!
Nice post
I am glad you like it!
Post is verry good
