This question brings back memories, in short I'm feeling nostalgic. I can remember vividly when my brother first told me about cryptocurrencies especially Bitcoin and Steem, I felt indifferent I told him at first that I don't have much funds to blindly put t into bitcoin nor do my academics and work give me the luxury of time to be able to write and post on the steem platform but he was hell bent on making me try and I can sày after my first try I became addicted to cryptocurrencies especially the Steem platform because I get to read amazing contents from amazing writers.

When I first introduced my friends particularly to the steem platform, their reactions was not far from mine and in fact I expected it because as humans we are always scared to try new things especially something just growing or still growing like the cryptocurrency market.

My friends gave one excuse after the other, same way I did to my brother but then I decided to convince them to try it at least once especially the steem platform where they have nothing to lose. I pestered them into registering in the Steem platform while we are having a little get together.

A few days passed and my friends called me to tell me that they never knew the platform was a gold mine as they saw amazing and convincing posts that made them changed their orientation on cryptocurrency market. I felt relieved then I started explaining how they can use the platform to earn the Steem Dollar or Steem.

As at today, I'm not as addicted to Steemit as much as my friends who I introduced , their reputation score even exceed mine by few digits and I've read amazing write-ups by them on the Steemit community.
