It's now 18 months that i every day check what is up on Steem. Discovered this place from a great photographer Benjamin Von Wong on his instagram story.
Steem definitely changed my online activities, because now, most of my time online is spent here. I came here in the "good old steem price" days, user activity was high and i was lucky to find a great community in my first weeks on steem. How much fun it was? well it must have been fun when you take all your equipment in the middle of the night and go to and old well to make a selfie. I know i am missing an E (55 seconds of exposure to write all that with just a light :D )
And that is why i am happy with all this tribes and (hopefully soon) communities. New people need to feel that they belong. Because if those first few moths were shitty and with no activity i am sure i would not be here.
As mentioned, i came to steem when steem was 5$, i kinda knew that i will not get rich fast (even seeing those 500-1000$ posts) but the idea of being able to buy some equipment from rewards was in my mind. 2 of my music posts did exceptionally great (for my standards :) ) in those few first months and as i was not into crypto before the goal was to try and see is it posible to get from steem to fiat. Around 100$ finished in my hands few days later and i shared it with my friends that were in the videos. So no cool photo of things that were bought with steem money and non of steem ever got out from my acc after that. Maybe there will be some cool photos next year :D
On the online earning stuff. it was never main thing so i never pushed it aggressively but i do have over 250 videos on youtube and while i was able to earn i did earn 10$ :D so if i was to take all the steem out, i could say that steem was my best earning place online (even with this prices and with money i invested it would be better than youtube :D )
Feel that steem is a great place for people who want to get into crypto to start with. There is an opportunity to get the feeling of it, with no need to invest. But most that will stay for some time will.
This feels boring even to me, so i will not bother you anymore :D
Not a fan of tagging people, but i feel these 3 would have things to say about steem influencing their life, and they will for sure do it much better than me :D @justineh, @soyrosa, @scottshots, feel free but not obligated :)
