I completely agree, most of the people who join Steemit are starting in the cryptomarket, and that's one of the reasons that makes me trust in Steem, because they have the ability to attract many people without the need to have to buy Bitcoin first or know the market thoroughly, is a very good way to start, maybe the best.
When I joined this market, a few months before entering Steemit, the BTC was just under $ 1000, if it was bought over there, multiplied many times my money with only BTC, I think we all have a similar history to this, and it is because the whole market continues to grow, despite the decline of the last few weeks, but if we believe that the BTC is already too high to enter, then we will regret it when it goes back up, this is a market that still has a lot for growing up
P.S. Ripple is crap.
