It must have been in July 2016 that @the-bitcoin-dood told me about Steemit. We had both been on Tsu before and that had just shut down. I was not sure I wanted to get into another new platform, but I got sucked in and I am still here posting most days. Steem has not made me rich, but I have made a lot of friends, been to lots of events and bought some stuff with what I made. No other platform has done that much for me.
