I was thinking back to the day I found Steemit, 8 months ago and I realized that many of the friends I've made in Steemit may have written their first #introduceyourself post that I missed.
Let's share our first #introduceyourself post and sort of revel in the magic that many of us first experienced.
Post your link below to your very first #introduceyourself post so we can all learn more about each other.
(Try not to gasp when you see the payout amounts.....it's really shocking!)
Here's my very first post that I made on June 8, 2016 that received a payout of over $1367:

On a side note, it would be cool to create a book titled, How I Found Steemit, as a group book project we could release on Amazon. I guess the funds would be put back to Steemit's marketing fund, since it would be too difficult to divide up the proceeds....
LOL dude yes!
I miss those days!

my favorite part:
you know what, i can identify with you because you seem to push the envelope and get really excited about stuff. I get overly enthused about some things, and this happened with steemit in the beginning (for obvious reasons like the over-the-top payouts...I mean who wouldn't lose their shit when they got $1367 for one post????)
I get excited, then devastated by the fact that humans have not evolved very much. A group of people can ruin the most elaborate, advanced invention in a matter of seconds due to greed. This is kind of where we are at as a species, unfortunately. The same problems can be found everywhere, even in here. There is no utopia.

My business of programming custom apps for private social networks was slowing down last Summer, and I read about Ethereum and the DAO which looked interesting, so I began to learn basic programming for Ether. Just a few weeks into looking into all things Ethereum and cryptocurrency, I read about Steemit, on Minds I think. I came here and it was love at first sight!
I set up a full node and was mining steem within days, but I enjoyed the social interaction and the lure of possible payouts so I spent more time interacting and less time programming here. And that's how its been ever since. Even though I don't post often, I do interact here daily.

as you can see, i'm not a celebrity. I was one of the first prolific writers (with mania too) to arrive on the scene. I've also considered myself to be a social media "artist" meaning I really like social media, from even the days of Friendster, which was before MySpace. Maybe the thing that really makes me different is that I was a prolific penpal writer as a child. I wrote a letter to someone different every day and I received a ton of mail......this is me even today, meaning it's all digital now..

What a fantastic idea!! (unless you're me, then it's completely embarrassing)
I landed here on November 28th, just before the last hardfork. This is a photo taken of me as I wandered the steemit halls my first day:
If you can't tell by the durpy duh look on my face, I'll translate- I was utterly clueless. The only thing I knew coming in was 'choose your name carefully because it can't be changed' and 'put your password somewhere really safe'. These were instructions given to me by my husband. To be fair he also had me watch a video...a very technical (and verryy boring) video that I heard two words of, blockchain-?durp; steem-? duhh
My husband translated: "If you write stories on this site they will be there forever, a legacy for our great great grandchildren. And steem is a new form of money that you'll be paid for writing these stories."
Okay then.
The first thing I posted was a short story. No picture, no formatting. I started browsing and quickly realized I needed to learn how to post pictures. Soon after that I saw the introduceyourself tag, and do you think I opened up a few to get some ideas? Nope. Did you say your post made thirteen hundred plus dollars @stellabelle? Yeahhh, move that decimal point over to the left three spaces, that was mine.
My clever (if clever means clueless) introduction...Enjoy!

sure, ask away. I think he downvoted this post because my post wasn't actually "HQ". It is, however highly engaging, with lots of payouts on comments (which is coming in near future on steemit anyway). I am not really bothered, though, since i've been downvoting the Steem Guild posts that I feel are overvalued. It really doesn't bother me at all. He has a right to his opinon. So do I. I'm ok. I'm ecstatic actually because the trending page will begin to show actual high engagement......there's going to be some weird people trying to game the system, but i think we will actually see what humans want to read, as opposted to bot upvotes.

this is nuts. I never saw your intro post, but I used to teach English in Japan too. My brother did too, and he also worked for Nova. I had no idea they went bankrupt but i'm not surprised. I worked for Aeon. I left Japan due to a strange illness I developed from stage fright. Anyway, I know what it's like to live in a one-room apartment. I do miss some aspects of Japan though......

Wow, small world! Yeah, most of the English schools in Japan seem shady as f*** and Nova was probably the worst of the pack. Teaching did help me get over my own fear of public speaking, though, and I had a lot more positive experiences than negative. What part of Japan did you live in, and what do you miss the most about it? I love the convenience of Tokyo; there's many things I'll miss if I ever leave.

i was in Sasebo. I miss the food, and the safety as well as public transportation and of course the odd futuristic japanese sensibility

The public transportation is great. I love being able to take the train everywhere and not drive (which I hated and found very stressful when I lived in the States). And Tokyo, while one of the biggest cities in the world, is also one of the safest. I would never ever want to live in a big city in the US.

I find people to be boring for the most part and have become completely anti-social as a result LOL @stellabelle! You are the doppelganger of one of my closest childhood friends. I'm one of the only people she still likes, mostly because I make up weird songs and sing them to her on voxer (the online walkie talkie)

I was advised to make a big effort for an intoduction post including video. Thanks Randy @hilarski for getting me such a big step up into the platform. I am embarrassed by the formatting and the typos - but the words count.

I am of a mind to do some more - I can do an intro to so many facets of an amazing life.

this is interesting! I actually took the time to read my intro post again... I remember I just joined with curiosity following the July 4 news. At that time I did not foresee at all that I was going to spend so much time here (well, yes, as well as losing so much money here). Quite a remarkable journey until now... but even at steemit's peak time, this post did not earn my anything substantial ($0.07 and 5 votes, the biggest vote contributed all the money long after the submission and she was gone atm).

also, after reading it again. it is quite interesting to find out that the last two words of the post title combined is the name of my biggest supporter here on steemit - @abit. It seems destined. LOL.

This is a fun idea, thank you @stellabelle. It can be rather difficult (depending on the tagging used in particular) to be able to pull up old intro posts in google or scroll/search back through a blog.
Anyway, I showed up during the hayday, but it took me a while to get known. However, this was my first 'breakout' post that got rather person about being transgender. It's one of the rarer times I've talked about myself, especially at length.
Keep smilin' and Steem on!

EDIT: At the moment on steemit and busy I can't seem to go back further than a certain distance 7 months ago and cannot get to my earlier posts including my introduction that were just before that. If this cannot be fixed I may need to do another one at some point.
