Steem was my first crypto. My brother was into crypto currencies and I saw him messing around on steemit. At first it didn't make sense in my non-crypto mind. But after learning about steemit and interacting with different folks here, I joined up and have just passed 1000 sp.
I have been able to sell some sbd and buy other coins but I will always stick with steem. I think that steem hasn't even begun to reach it's full potential.
I regret not getting into it a year earlier. It seems that all the folks who got in on the ground floor are doing quite well for themselves. :)
