Yes, that's right. There was a mutual interest and its gone on from there.
It helped that we were at a similar stage here and our accounts have grown since (although yours much faster than mine!). So we went from tipping each other (our max vote of) $0.01 to around $0.10+ now and that growth will no doubt continue.
I think that's another point to remember - try to surround yourself with like minded people who are committed and you can support each other and grow together.
So true man. That's how the whales support each other. They all started around the same time and grew together,
That's why I beg new Steemians to get out there and interact with everyone they can now lol
