I liked how you followed this to the end, @marcusxman.
However, I don't think that you would get 35.255 steem when you activate a new account. So, the money had to come from somewhere else.
Another thing that makes me wonder is that how did they get passed the mobile phone activation? Did they actually use that many different mobile phones to create the accounts?
Hi @sadekj, I remember when I furst opened an account with Steemit there was some steem to start off with. I can't remember how much but it was in the range. As to phone activation, I am sure that a coder can come up with a novelty solution to by pass this. Maybe he utilised a click farm in China to get all his activation code. So it is interesting to know!
It wasn't that much I think it was around five dollars or so, my fiance transferred me cryptocurrency so I could get off to a better start on here (about 35 dollars) and it's fluctuated by it is 27 now and it was never over thirty...but I to have all in steem power, for regular steem dollars when I signed up I got one dollar.
Steem did go to about $2.30. At least you got in when steem was relatively low instead of seeing your steem value go down by half. I think steem will go back up so just hang in there.
Thanks, yeah I don't know much about cryptocurrency to be honest but I know bitcoin had dropped and the value always goes way back up so I'm not too worried. :) Just trying to figure out this place still :)

I got around 4 steem on the start. So that can not be it....
