I have just joined Steemit.com and I am in no way a crypto currency expert.
Indeed I first heard about Steemit from a crypto-related video and registered here just as an experiment so to say. But I was totally astonished to see such an active community basically working their butts off publishing so much quality content. Indeed, there is an issue that for every one quality post you get like 10 or 20 useless ones, but it is still good!
People are so responsive here, there is so much to read and learn. Only today I spent over two hours here basically reading, reading and reading.
Just like you I do believe Steemit has a bright future ahead.
