RE: Why did YOU join Steemit?

in #steemit8 years ago

I've just got a bit bitten by steemit. I can't even remember how I came across it now but about 3 weeks ago I started posting.. I've been blogging quite a long time and have active OUTERGROUND accounts all over the place. photography, filmmaking, art, writing poetry, science, sci-fi and blockchain are all interests of mine. I didn't really know what it was all about and seemed incredibly complex (Almost deliberately to see off the hoo-ha's) which I think it probably does to some extent. I posted some of my photography and to my amazement won 1st prize in that weeks steemitphotochallenge. I won 35 SBD.. This was all very exciting and I posted my animated film, which took years to make and never really got paid for.. I was amazed (again) to see the post rack up some 3 figure sTEEM.. anyway it's been nearly a month and I've got 150 followers, I've made 300+ posts. have made a zillion comments, tons of upvotes and my rep is 55.. I think it's really interesting to see how the reward system both incentivises and slightly skews posts. It's a great experiment.. I've noticed a lot of big dinners sending money to Poloniex. I'll be keeping my eyes open and hope to get a bit more involved on the curation side.. I am a Creative Director and it's my job to say this or that is good or not.. I'm also a business mentor and am hoping to be able to help some creative start ups through here ! maybe even publish my workshops as an e-book.. I've noticed not many people are interested in my music.. but I've also got t-shirt designs, cushions, art prints, wall hangings, blankets, and phone covers to promote. You could say steemit was made for people like me. by the way, I'm all over ICO's and if there weren't so many analysts already here would be doing regular posts on my coin of the week.. which I think I'll do later.. you copyists... heard it here first, if you got this far..you're good! thanks
