Reflecting on my time here - Why am I on Steem?

in reflection-2018 •  6 years ago 

I heard about Steemit for the first time in January 2018. A number of friends of mine came around talking about a new way to make money online through blogging. I knew Steemit was based on crypto currency but I knew very little about what crypto was.

Why am I on Steem?

I came on Steem to earn basically, I'm not new to the idea of blogging. I'm the co-owner of sportstotality.com, I work entirely on the backend. And a number of my friends are making big bucks from blogging.

As I spent time on Steem, I began to realize that Steemit is not Steem. Steem is such a massive ecosystem with a lot going on, and a lot of potential, it's much more than just blogging.

I'm on Steem to be a part of the crypto revolution, I'm here to get to know people all around the world, expand my knowledge of crypto and impact positively as I'm able to in growing the ecosystem.

What's the biggest value that Steem can bring me that no other platform can?

Steem is unique and the has so much that can be built on it. The ability to have just one platform with so many options and applications built into it that can function just like the popular social networks or gaming platform is special. Not to think of earning from it. It has totally changed the way I look at social networks and now I spend more time on Steem related social networks than any other.

It's a journey that's just getting started.
