I think it's a really good thing that you write a "journal" like this... there are lots of Steemit stories out there about people's success... but they've been here "since the beginning," and it's just not realistic for anyone to compare themselves to that, as newcomers.
This is valuable content because it shows potential others that someone who's "just a regular bloke" can come in and still do quite well.
Congrats on your achievements so far!
Thanks mate, im glad you find it useful.
And I am just a bog standard block, not an IT guru or someone that really knows anything about Crypto Currency.
Yep, know how you feel... I'm neither a developer nor a blockchainiac; I got here as a blogger and content writer. Had to pick up all the "technical" stuff as I went along.
