A couple of days ago I was giving out upvotes to people for telling me something about themselves. I'm not back up to 99.6 voting power so I feel it's about time to do another run. This time I want you to tell me how you got here (facebook post, blog article, word of mouth, etc) and I'll upvote your comment! This morning I seem to be worth .14 so if you're looking for some change, why not?
Like last time, I'm not asking to do upvote trades, but if people do upvote, I will flip the proceeds of this post back into steem power to help charge me up more for the next post. So stay tuned, and get to typing!
Make sure you also swing by my other post to see another way I'm using Steemit to make a difference: Second "Steemit Community" Crowdfunding Donation Has Been Made!

I was looking through a crypto marketcap page last week and saw Steem was in the #2 or #3 spot at the time and I hadn't even heard of it! I'm usually following the crypto landscape pretty closely so was blown away that I was so oblivious to its rise. After reading through the whitepaper a few times and signing up I can promise I'll be here forever. I love the idea and opportunity (and the community).

I learned about Bitcoin while I was searching about Gold and Silver last year, then ended up with Decred. I bought Bitcoin in April this year to add to my 282 Decred coins received at the airdrop. Since I'm following the Bitcointalk.org, I'm on Poloniex and did hear talking about Steem!

Hey Robsteady!! I'm here on this post because of your comment on my 'UFC' post from earlier today :-) Community engagement is FUN!!
Also, I learned about Steemit from the CoinMarketCap page. I have some BTC and ETH and the prices have been very interesting to watch, and then all of a sudden out of nowhere Steem is #3. Also, it doubled in price over 2 days at that time - So I decided to check it out!!!
Thanks for the Post today!! I UFC'd!!!!

Yeah, I started gathering up a bit of ether, but with the whole ETC/ETH thing I decided to just sell it off. Maybe I'll look at it again once everything calms down. I am also a little discouraged with the price of STEEM the last couple of days, but it's still young, we shall see what happens.

I had known about Steemit for a while. I first was reading about Synereo (which I think is a version of the same thing, which isn't live yet?), and then I came across Steemit.
I regret not buying steem power back when I first knew about it lol. This kind of thing is very near and dear to my heart, I just didn't realize it was really ready to roll. Anyways, when I saw the price rising I took a closer look, and realized it's rolling and that there's already an active community.

I came across it on CoinMarketCap.com. I read about it. I got hooked, because I normally hate social media (it's pointless), but this has incentivized me to post good, quality content on a social media platform for the first time. I've invested in the system now that I understand it, and I totally dig it, other than a few flaws that I think will get ironed out over time.

i found steem back in late June when scouting for new sites for a budgeting and earning facebook group. I dismissed it pretty quickly because of the cryptocurrency, I didn't have enough knowledge about it to spot if the site was a scam or not. Then i saw max keiser singing it's praises on twitter so had to come back and sign up.

I left Facebook several months ago because of my own personal reasons I'll refrain from getting into, but have missed the social aspect of it quite dearly. On Monday I received a call from @kennyskitchen informing me of this incredible new platform that allows for anonymity, security, and has incentives to post and interact! It sounded like a dream come true, so I checked it out and have been addicted ever since I began posting on Tuesday. :)

I have had a similar experience - I left FB for good this final time, only returning since beginning Steemit to promote the site and bring more users to forge a new path! Though, I have to say that I was lucky joining Steem and quickly came across this chat that helps the other members out in a hospitable manner. Everyone is very kind and all of the authors have been posting fantastic content that its hard not to go below 50% vote weight hehe. I suggest coming and checking it out if you have some free time! :D

A few weeks ago XEM hit a spike so I sold some of my holdings on Poloniex. I scanned the trollbox and noted that people were talking a lot about Steem, which had been recently added to Poloniex. Then last week I saw some kind of article about Steemit where the author was saying that new registrations were going to close and that was a good thing. The article explained more what the platform was like and it sounded pretty interesting. I figured I'd better sign up quick in case registrations closed and then I could educate myself about what I'd just signed up for later. So I registered and breathed a sigh of relief that I could still do it. Then I started reading articles and the more I learned, the more I wanted to get involved with posting content, so that's what I've been doing. My earnings have been small so far, but I'm not worried. It's actually nice to be able to post a short post like this one (https://steemit.com/steemit/@wiser/eureka), which took just a few minutes to write and earn 34 cents on it. I think I'm here to stay :)

Yeah, it's a pretty sweet situation. We just gotta get more people powered up so those posts can be worth even more. Of course, the exchanges will probably counter more users having more steem with an even deeper drop, but we'll see how that goes.

Found Steemit through coinmarketcap.com while checking prices for Bitcoins, LItecoins and Dogecoins . Ended up joining just before it broke 1.50 USD. I then used all I had in those three cryptocurrencies (not much mind you, under 100$) and powered up :)
Have a great day !

I think I would have to say I found Steem by fluke. I am a subscriber of Craig Grant and I kept seeing his videos on youtube and ignoring them.....lol. But today for some reason I decided to watch and he started talking about Steem. Not in relation to the social media platform, but about the currency. I had no clue it was a social site....wow is all I have to say. How many people are on here does anyone know?
