I actually was looking around for another project to get involved in that had a solid community and ran into Steemit.com . I had spent 6-7 years deep inside the bitcoin community getting to know all the characters over there and it was fun to say the least!

I see the same thing with Steem and the formation of similar people and groups.

Bitcoin kind of ran its course over those few years and I left it for a good year or two. When I returned I went looking for a blockchain community.

I'm convinced a good blockchain/crypto needs a good community. This is why I'm here. I saw it with Bitcoin how important BTCtalk.org was . I'm not sure how much reach Bitcoin really would have had without it. It would have been slower to say the least.

I actually had visited Steemit.com in May of 2016 and thought it was a stupid idea. At first I thought you needed buy Bitcoin to be able to post and upvote everything on the platform. I ended up ditching it for about a month or so and returned in July based on some article. I signed up in July.

I don't plan on leaving it.

I kind of just said this is the crypto/blockchain and community I want to be around on. The rest is history as they say.

thanks @snook for putting this together... want to take her challenge do it here.

I also now have a few communities I can finally start to promote! Here they are with more coming:
