THE STEEM POWER DRAGGED ME IN !!!!

 Hi Steemers! 

My name is Farcas Gabriel and I'm Cryptocurrency enthusiast and I want to become an investor in Cryptocurrency.  The first time I heard about Cryptocurrency was in 2009 when two friends of mine told me about Bitcoin.I belive that year the Genesis Block was mined too. My questions was: 

What is Genesis Mining? How does it work? How can I get Bitcoins? 


Until I read this ad and quote: 

''You should never expect to get rich with Bitcoin or any emerging technology. It is always important to be wary of anything that sounds too good to be true or disobeys basic economic rules''.
I got this quote from https://bitcoin.org/en/ and after reading it my desire about Bitcoin has almost finished. Let's be honest when you read something like that and you have not much knowledge about it... that's the end of the story, is that right? 


Indeed for me was finished,instead my friends kept telling me: Now the price is around $0.80 next year if the price is $ 10 or maybe more...$100? THink about it,that's a big opportunity!
After a while they told me: The price of Bitcoin is $ 1.7!...and again now is $3...And again one of my friends: I sold my Bitcoins when the price was $17 The other one sold it at $45.I was a little upset that I lost a chance like this but on the other way glad that my friends did it until... 

In 2013 the price of Bitcoins exploded and the price was $ 1.250 .

This made us to realize what opportunities we had. After this event we spoke about what if... A long story about WHAT IF...   I stopped thinking about WHAT IF and I started thinking about what the future bring next. 


A few months ago I started doing research on Cryptocurrency and I found several altcoins,but the biggest impact on me it was another Bitcoin called Steem!
For Bitcoin to grow from $ 0.80 to $1,7 to $3 and so on to $1.250 it took a few years.For Steem to grow from $0.34 to $0.70 to $1.59 to $4.50 it took 2 days and continues to grow!!! I do not mean that you must invest in Steem or any other altcoins,but for me Steem is the easiest way to truly understand the power of Cryptocurrency. 

 
I start reading about Steem 5-6 days ago and the impact that it had on me was:
-innovation and knowledge you earn reading about people who make a great effort to make you understand that you can do your future right now!

 -friends that you can make it very easy. 

-you become a writer without knowing that(This is cool,I just realized now). 

-it's like facebook but you earn money for each post or comment

-you can invest the money you earn in your work for making more money if you want. 


At first i didn't wanted to join in Steem until i read more,but it dragged me into it.

It's not like an addiction or something,is more like the earth which uses gravity to attract everything including us even if we do not want. 

That's what I feel about the Power of Steem! Do you feel it???

You are correct that the price movement has happened in a shorter time frame. This is because bitcoin's first 3 years of growth happened in a culture where almost nobody understood it. All other crypto can launch from bitcoin's 2012 base. Millions are now trained that cryptocurrency is realz. Steem on!

Even now a lot of people do not know about Bitcoin, Steem and other altcoins.
We must speak up and spread the word !
