Thank you man. I'm glad our paths crossed as well. Those early days were incredible. Sometimes, when I think about it, it still doesn't seem real. How did you find your way here?

My wife's cousin @robrigo was one of the earlier adopters and he was running a witness node for a while. He was in the process of powering down when he got me onto the platform. It's too bad too because he had a pretty big account and it would have given me a good boost assuming he had voted for me. Instead I had to do it all the old fashioned way! Probably makes it a bit more sweet, but those early upvotes would have been nice!
I remember him! Getting the attention of the whales was the difference between success and obscurity in that first six months. There were account-holders working with the whales to actively scout out talent that they felt might give the platform visibility. It's good that we have more of a meritocracy and rewards are evenly distributed now.
Yes, it is good that things are a little different now.
