Great to read how you got onto Steemit, and the effort you put into your posts but also in supporting others with votes, sure but meaningful comments is always appreciated by me.
I had tried a couple of other social sites where there was a chance to earn, more because I was getting tired of Farcebook and all the drama, and they flopped so when I joined steem, my main focus was hoping it would last and be an alternative instead of feeling I needed to go back to being more active on Farcebook, and becaus eof other experiences, I never thought of it as a money making opportunity.
but i have made a home hear on steemit, what I really love about it is the sense of community if the value of Steem ever rises that would be a bonus, but thats not my focus
