Back in September 2016! I knew what I was getting into - the roadmap said Q2 2017 for mainnet even back then. It was a calculated gamble, but at the time it was the only initiative to decentralize content distribution. There were a lot of shitcoins, but at the time the only two blockchains I was aware of with a clear mainstream usage scenario were Steem and Decent, and maybe Ethereum. I later discovered LBRY, Sia etc.
