One year ago I was creating my account on Steemit!
How it all begun!?
It's almost like the story of: "A friend of a friend told a friend..."
In this case it was @rmach that was told about Steemit. He joined at the end of July of 2016 and I kept ignoring him for two-three more months!
He was all fascinated and was constantly speaking of it, but I couldn't care less as I was finishing my master thesis last summer, and I could not have a new distraction! After I deliver the thesis I start to have some spare time...and start looking for @rmach posts and interactions and finding a new world. People were nice and helpful, I loved it!!
So one night, a year ago, I was scrolling on Facebook and I got bored and I decided to register my account on Steemit. He said I should write a "#introducemyself" post. I didn't know what to I write, or even how to write without spelling mistakes!!
What value could I add to Steemit!?
I spend one week wondering what I should say about myself that could be interesting. More than that, what would I write and share on Steemit after that??
I thought I know about biological sciences so I could write about it, sometimes I do, but it requires a bit more dedication and time. Then I started with my SundayCooks, joined the first SteemitCulinaryChallenge and even won the second place!!
When I start gathering followers...people that I didn't know, it was a great surprise. I could talk to people from Chile, Canada, Indonesia, Netherlands, Germany, Brazil, New Zeland and so on!! I was so amused that I wrote a post about my achievements in the first 30 days: My first month on Steemit! What a ride!!.
Today is also an important day because I reached the 1,000 SP and 60 reputation during this night (for me it's s huge thing). I must thank you all who support me and interact with me, and making this community even better!
Since then my creativity has increased a lot, I have a lot of pending ideas for posts...that I'll keep bringing from time to time.
About three weeks ago I reached 1000 followers, I would not expect it one year ago.
I just powered up some of my available Steem, allowing me to officially be recognized as a 'Dolphin'!! Not that I care much about my status, but I found 5.000 SP a comfortable number and a goal I could achieve! If you don't know what I'm talking about, maybe you're interested in understanding what means to gain SteemPower STEEMIT 101: What's a Minnow, Dolphin, Whale, etc. Anyways?

A massive thank you for the followers that kept being supportive!!
I'm thankful for this last year on Steemit!
Due to Steemit:
- I got into the crypto world, and even I'm not an expert...I'm much aware now!
- I lose the fear of writing in English, I love it actually!! Despite I can write in my native language, I'll keep practicing English!
- I will attend Steemfest! I have everything booked and will finally meet some of my fellow steemians. I'm pretty excited about it!!
So excited that today when visiting Lisbon I was already wondering the places you probably will love to visit!! Here's one of the most popular - Praça do Comércio
See you soon, and until there: Steem on!!
Congrats Liliana for Dolphin, new info for me, thanks.

Thanks for your recommendation, that was silly of me! I don't think anyone will try to scam SteemFest using a copy of my ticket :) But, anyway I covered the code bar ;)

Para ver pessoal a queixar-se basta ligar a tv e fazer scroll no FB. Que fartura! (nesta última semana até andei muito no FB dado que era o sitio onde conseguia saber mais sobre os incêndios da semana passada).
Obrigada!! :)

That's a good goal!! Last year I didn't consider to go to SteemFest in the Netherlands as I was too newbie and haven't enough Steem. It did changed my life, now I own some cryptos and I can see a brighter future.

Very good.... I am glad you got some cryptos...
I just read an article about a finance guy who was talking about Wall Street money coming in...his guess is over $1T over the next 3-4 years...that will take Bitcoin and many of the others upward in a big way.
I am going to write an article about it.

Foi ótimo ter conhecido você aqui por acaso onde eu procurava alguns usuários de língua portuguesa. Espero que nossa amizade possa se estender além do Blockchain. O Rui ( @rmach ) com certeza e também é para mim uma grande descoberta aqui e um grande amigo. Grande, abraço, beijo e muito mais sucesso aqui. Quero ver você uma baleia. LOL

Obrigada!! Tu foste uma das primeiras pessoas que me deu umas dicas para promover os posts no SteemitChat e me recomendaste umas vezes para a Curie (quando funcionava de outra forma), e serei sempre grata pelo apoio. Espero que um dia possamos brindar os 4 , eu e @rmach, tu e @cleateles!
O Rui também quer que eu fique baleia, mas não como uma baleia gorda, só baleia rica!! Ahah

Tchi, chegar a baleia é um bom sonho, mas acho que não chego lá. É preciso muito SteemPower! Em Leiria ou em Évora! :)
