I didn't know about steemit as an hour ago. But i read a few things since then and I liked what I saw.

I am usually a lurker, just read, get the information and doesn't give back. I don't know why, maybe because I think people won't mind what I have to say.

I won't lie, the incentive in steemit made me to post. Reward people because they make content for your platform, that is a next level way of thinking.
Plus, I will be able to give back to people that bring me the information I was seeking, and that is sooo great.

Now, why this title to my post? Because, for the first time EVER, I was able to take my first name as a nickname.
I fill like Jack on Twitter:

"Hello there, setting up my steemit account" @clement.

A little about me: I like cryptocurrencies and I started to heard about bitcoin after the silkroad things. I read a lot about them, try to understand it, and i finally bought 0.1 BTC a year ago (Yay!). Lately I read about Ethereum and decided to give a try, bought 5+ ETH right before the DAO thing and lost half of my "investment" (not Yay).

Now I will try to understand steemit and read (all of) your post (and reward you!)

If you have any questions, just comment here and I will answer them :)

And sorry for my bad english, non native speaker here.
