Its quite a funny story actually, I stated investing long before I joined steemit. I was introduced into it by a friend, as students we were always searching for ways to make earns meet. He told me that there was an online currency called Bitcoin and when you buy it, the next day you will start seeing profit. I was super excited about this opportunity so I hastily enquired more about it and created an exchange account.

Wow, that is interesting to hear that you already knew about cryptocurrencies before joining steemit, but unfortunately on my side, I got to know about it when I was introduced to steemit platform and it even took me days before I learned them until this noble community started with their cryptoacademy classes.
