I totally agree with you. 31 days ago, I taught Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency in the world. Here, I am now today checking the crypto market to see how it's going and where can I throw my few SBD/Steem, all because of steemit.
Steemit is the best platform so far no doubt about that. It gives newbies the idea of what blockchain holds and lots more. Maybe, APPICS can also recruit more set of people (younging) to blockchain using their new Token, XAP.
