I joined steem to blog and try to earn some extra dollars on the side.
I know have a decent sized #hive account. Ledger with bitcoin and eth, multiple shitcoins that will never do anything, a crypto debit card and a whole lot of new knowledge.
Though hive i have gone from zero to 5 in the crypto world. Some investment and a lot of time and energy. But with that said there is nowhere else i would want to be. I know that in the long run users will never see a lot of what is going on now and will jump into apps or websites to earn but for those of us who have been grinding since the early days it's interesting and enthralling to watch all of the development first hand.
Going from a website for blogging to all of what we see now and a lot more to come.
It is going to be interesting if one day there are millions of users here and what our place will be in that world - the godfathers of Hive ;D
