Of course I bought Steem!
I know this is a small amount, one that some of you investors would laugh at.
"Oooh look, he spent $100, that's cute!".
However, this is a big deal for me.
For starters, if it weren't for Steemit, I would likely have never even had the confidence to buy into a crypto.
My introduction to crypto was through Steemit and it only seemed right that my first purchase was in a currency that I've come to truly believe in.
I have to thank @shayne for showing me the light. If it wasn't for you I would have never known about this amazing platform!
Anyway, even though this was a small investment, it won't be my last.
As a married father of four, having an extra $100 laying around is a rare occurrence.
With the recent dip in crypto values, I thought this was a great opportunity to take the plunge. I've not only invested in something that I believe in, but I've also taken this small step towards financial freedom for myself and my family.
I want to personally thank the following people, in no particular order.
Even though you may not have intended to, you encouraged me to take this first step.

It is a huge deal making your first steps in crypto like this, it does not matter how many decimal places or zeros are involved.

I love it, good for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks so much man!
I agree, the amount doesn't really matter.
I do wish it was more though.
I really love this platform and I think steem is an excellent investment.
Hopefully I can buy more soon before it goes to the moon.

Not great yet... But my show is quickly coming and then I believe I'll truly leave my mark around here.
I got a notice from the lawyers today that my release forms are ready, so i can start filming Hots or Shots!
I'm super excited!
I really appreciate your support though.
I'm very happy we crossed paths.

Hey @jonny-clearwater,
I'm also a married father of four... I know what you mean about having an extra $100 being a rare thing. Like you, I've also been investing some in Steem. My goal is to purchase a little every week to increase my Stake.
Glad you took the plunge!

Steem on!

Very much this. My first crypto was steem as well Also for a €100. got some small pocket change in others coins now but nothing big. Steem does seem to make the transition in to crypto very smooth easy and gradual.

Nice! I bought $120 of Steem last week myself, as you say it might not be a big deal for some but we don't all have thousands just lying around...
May the crypto be with you!

I just rcently bought more STEEM too, in fact I just started trading crypto a few weeks ago, I wrote about it here - https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@benlearns/my-first-week-trading-cryptocurrencies
It's a good thing you bought it around this time, when its low. I bought some STEEM when it was below $0.90(https://steemit.com/introduction/@benlearns/just-bought-more-steem-at-less-than-usd0-90-2017716t85016556z) and I believe it will go to $10+ so that $100 will become $1000. Just like you, I started small but i have only invested less than $75.

From deposit to coinbase to transfer to bittrex to purchase...took about 30 min total.
Waiting for the money to go from bittrex to coinbase was the antsy moment.

Yes for sure - sunday night to monday afternoon, my btc wallet was horrendously slow in syncing itself - (delaying my purchase) and when I bought SP on monday night, it seemed to take a least a few hours to get to my wallet.

So! Did your upvoting power increase after depositing that much amount? I am also willing to make a small investment, but I want to check whether Steemit works for me or not. Anyway, thank you @jonny-clearwater for this insightful post. You can visit my world at @vinaypsychic. I am sure you'll find something interesting there.

This investment was not for my steemit account but for my family. All of the money I make on my posts however I put into steem power.
I've been here two months now...have a lil over 1000sp, and yes, from that I've definitely watched my voting power grow
