I was inspired by this post by @acesontop. According to his post, @snook and @whatsup are "the trend leaders" and this is what created the idea behind these questions. I did make a few posts in the past about how I learned about crypto and how I came to HIVE but I don't think I have ever answered all of these questions.
1. How long have you been on the Blockchain?
I have been here since October 2020 so it has been a little over a year so far.
2. What was your background in cryptocurrency when you first came to the Blockchain?
I didn't know much about crypto before I came to this block chain. In a post about how I got to HIVE before, I mentioned that I did buy some BTC for a online game but I didn't exactly do much research nor did I really pay attention to making my own wallet. I have definitely learned a lot since then.
3. What was your background in writing when you first came to the Blockchain?
None. I was the type of person who just sat down and spectated on the sidelines. In a way I was a type of person who rarely commented too so that may come as a surprise to some people.
4. How many people did you know when you first came to the Blockchain?
I didn't know anyone when I came to this Block Chain and I didn't even know what HIVE was. After all I just saw an ad on Brave about Splinterlands and that is how I started.
5. How did you meet people when you first came to the Blockchain?
It didn't go that well when I posted and I didn't engage. However after I started engaging and started to know people, I learn about other people on the chain.
6. Who did you look up to when you first came to the Blockchain?
Nobody because I didn't really know people here on HIVE. In fact I didn't even know about blogging when I first came to the Blockchain. So it was just took time for me to learn about what HIVE actually was.
7. How would you describe your first three months on the Blockchain?
It was a huge struggle and I focused most of my efforts on playing Splinterlands. It was only after I learned that you could earn by blogging and it was only after that I started to post. As I didn't know anyone and I didn't bother engaging much, I can only say that it didn't go well.
8. Has being a part of the Blockchain changed you in any way for the good?
Yes I engage more and I actually have given crypto a chance. I would have to say that LeoFinance and everything I have heard has made me learn how important DYOR is. Research is important and it definitely will give you an edge. Besides that I can see how powerful a decentralized Web 3.0 platform is.
9. What is your favorite memory from your time on the Blockchain?
I guess it would have to be when I was low on resource credits. After finding out about giftgiver, I went to their discord and @sn0n was kind enough to delegate some HP to me. It was only then that I realized that you could also earn money by voting and I share it with other people on the chain.
10. If you could advise a new person signing up to Hive, what would it be?
Create, comment and engage consistently. If you aren't willing to put yourself in front of people, others won't pay much attention to you. If you do this consistently, people will remember you over time and it's a great way to know people.
Well that is my story and I wonder what type of story you have.
Feel free to leave a comment if you read my post. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer.

Good to know how you get to know about Hive.
You're leading by example!

Thanks. It's part of my daily habit everyday now but I do think I might need to start finding more people to follow and spread the engagement a bit more.

Interesting start, I wonder how many others are blogging here because of Splinterlands.
Good luck on your HIVE and Splinterland journey.

I have seen quite a few people mention that Splinterlands were their start so far so I don't think I am the only one.

There's many others for sure, Splinterlands exploded its user base over the past months. It would be interesting to know how many of those users decided to blog & play Splinterlands vs. Play Splinterlands only.

What a great post! Thanks for sharing your experience, it is a great motivation and I like the fact that there are questions to respond to, it makes everything easier :)

Yea I like the format since it makes the post easy to structure. If only there were more posts like these.

That's the modern route in! Through Splinterlands, and yet here you are!
So, glad you made it.
Yea I believe that is the future of on-boarding people. People will come because of the development rather than being focused on blogging.

Great to see that people are moving via ways like Splinterlands. Seems like you are doing a great job here! Keep it up

Glad that I inspired you. I see that you are pretty new to the platform, but seeing where this thing is heading you can consider yourself an early investor.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I thought it was a relatively easy posts and it's interesting to see everyone's story so I decided to make one myself.
As for whether or not I am new, I don't know since it's been over a year. I do think that we are still quite early as the development is still ongoing and there is plenty of room for HIVE to grow.

You've been here for just a year? Damn, could have fooled me that you've been here longer. You blended in pretty well, like it was meant for you. I loved reading your story.
Yea it has only been a little over a year so far but I guess it's because I am around commenting quite often.

Seems like Splinterlands was a starting point for many people these days. Also, most of the answers you gave would be the same for me. Jumping into blockchain without actually knowing anyone seems odd for people outside but it feels so natural when you are actually doing it.
Keep up the good work!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea I completely agree. After all it's possible for people to learn about other sources of revenue in Splinterlands and it will lead them to the Blockchain.

Thank you for dropping by. It's something I learned from taskmaster4450 and he did motivate me to start engaging more.

Great to learn more about you, my friend!
Thanks. It looks like a lot of people are also writing their own story and most of them knew very little to no people when they joined the chain.

You are doing a good job, hive will be a better place if everybody engage like you
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thanks. If we had more engagement, I think it would definitely be a more lively place. Overall I just find that there are probably too many people like me who were just spectators before. So they might just need that push.

Yes that's true. A little push will be enough
