Was STEEM your 'gateway drug' into crypto?
The basic mantra of Bitcoin maximalists is usually, that everything besides BTC are shitcoins, not worthy of anything.
While I do see Bitcoin as a great store of value, this world-view of nothing besides it matters is very short-sided, in my opinion.
Altcoins actually drive quite a lot of value to BTC, by providing use-cases and entry points into the whole crypto-sphere.
And in that sense, I believe STEEM has driven quite a lot of value, bringing hundred of thousands into contact with blockchain & crypto.
Hence this poll is there to see, how many of you got hooked into the whole crypto-sphere, because of Steem (or maybe not)
Please vote via dpoll!
If you'd like to support this poll, feel free to resteem it.
Thanks,
Wolf
- Yes! STEEM was the my first cryptocurrency I interacted with and it got me hooked on crypto.
- Yes and no. I was already familiar with cryptocurrencies, but STEEM was a major reason why I got hooked.
- No. STEEM had pretty much influence on me.

Started with Bitcoin, cause I head about this cool fancy internet money was making people bank. Got in low, sold high, made a nice profit.
Then, the programmer in me found Ethereum and fell in love. A blockchain... WITH CODE?!?!?! I sunk my profits into CryptoKitties and in the end broke even, luckily.
I had a brief period where I heavy diversified. I invested in BTC, ETH, LTC, SALT ( made a legit nice profit from that one, got out before it went into the shitter ), etc.
While perusing different cryptos to invest into, I stumbled upon Steem. Never before had any other coin got me so interested, so quickly. I think I was only browsing here for less than 3 days before I went & told all my family + friends about it. The social aspect is what got me most interested!
Steem may have not been my "first" love, but it is differently my strongest ;^)

I have been into crypto long before Steem was ever a thought. Steem was my first entry into social media tokens. So i give them a yes and no.

it is kinda hard to answer because i guess most heard about crypto and knew something about it when they got to steem.
I knew about btc and some other coins, but steem was my IN for crypto. it was my first coin that i owned. from steem i got to my first btc (not really more like satoshis).
also i am still mostly Steem in crypto. i use it every day. don't have a lot of money to invest in crypto (i did throw some small amount to btc) and i don't have the time to daily trade that small amounts, so steem looks logical choice.

Do you love Steem?
-Yes.
-Worshiping it.
-You can not understand my love about it.
I wonder that. Don't you have any other cryptos?
Isn't it easier to mine Steem as miner/witness?
Don't you think the bigger capital manipulate the platform?
Aren't they use people's inferior complexity?(I will slap you if don't have more than me) =)
(A social platform where people are humiliated)
Please Don't take this comment wrong.(May be a little humorous)

I knew about Bitcoin and I knew I wanted some, I also knew I had missed the phase where people could just mine it. So, Steem gave me a way to learn and get involved as well as more time to understand.
Due to my time on Steem I bought my first Bitcoin at $695 in November of 2016

That blacklist wasn't maintained ever since Smartsteem moved away from post promotion and probably shouldn't be part of the Global Blacklist anymore.
With this said; next time just contact me without the insults.

No, Steem wasn't my gateway crypto.... In fact, I bounced off it a few times at the beginning.
Sorry, didn't use the dpoll...

In my case, I bought BTC first, traded a bit, then found about Steem and immediately joined and stayed as soon as I read what it was about.

Make a post about yourself using the hashtag "introduceyourself" then you will get plenty of people offering to help you learn about Steem.
This was my introduceyourself post, as an example: https://steempeak.com/hive-120078/@atma.love/who-am-i
Note: Steem is not Steemit. Steemit is just one of the webpage front ends you can use to post, comment and upvote on the Steem Blockchain. I highly recommend you use steempeak.com instead of steemit.com. steemit.com is now owned by Justin Sun who's criminal actions (co-ercing/bribing exchanges to vote for fake witnesses) to make a hostile takeover of Steem, have caused many issues recently.
Namaste

I came to Steem searching for a censorship free platform to create an equitable worldwide governance network. On Steem i found The Matrix-8 Platform, which was like a dream come true. It took me about 2 weeks before i was able to buy some BTC which i immediately exchanged most of into STEEM as i saw and still see the huge potential in Steem, especially if it adopts adopts a real-time Democrity as a governance system. The Matrix-8 Platform, to be built on Steem is just that and will solve future potential Justin Sun type issues and many more, as well as bringing BILLIONS of users to Steem. I invite you @therealwolf and everyone else who reads this to PLEASE find out more about The Matrix-8 Platform: https://steempeak.com/hive-153630/@atma.love/some-links-about-matrix-8-platform-by-atma-love
Let's "save the world" together on Steem!
