.1. How did you hear about Steem?

One of my brothers told me to try it.

.2. When did you join?

January 2017

.3. Why did you join? (What was the attraction?)

My family was in a very bad financial position due to the care of our daughter and I was willing to give anything a go. I still haven't used a dollar of crypto.

.4. Have you expanded your crypto life beyond just Steem.

Yes. I have diversified through trading into other coins and I am looking to leverage what I have learned on Steem in the real world through my career options. I even used it as a selling point in my recent interview and there has been interest from colleagues about building future applications.

.5. How would you explain your current interest in Steem and Crypto in general?

I am interested just about all aspects of it and wish that I was more technical so that I could delve deeper. There is so much running parallel to real life here that understanding how this community works and solving its problems over time will go a long way to easing other issues in the world.

.6. Are you holding or investing (no judgment here, I am just wanting to prove or disprove the value)

I am holding and developing my holdings through posting, trading and buying-in with fiat. While I might take some out at various points, the long-term of it is holding for years.
