I came here out of curiosity and wanted to learn how some people where shit posting and earning thousands and I stayed thanks to the communities I joined over at discord, especially the crypto empire and steem engine those where the first few communities I joined.
I struggled really hard on the first month and was about to quit when I started joining discord communities and everything changed from there on :-D
I really believe what you say about Steem being the block chain of opportunity, being here changed my life and the lives of others around me and that's something I don't take for granted.
