I was researching how to use bittrex.com, sorted by the column for growth and saw steem at 120% at the top of the list, and thought "what is that?" I then went straight to their website and started reading about it. It seems like a very smart approach. I am one of those people that saw Bitcoin at $0.005/coin and myself and another friend thought it was cool but thought it was likely the government would shut it down. We are kicking ourselves. Steemit seems to have a ton of potential too, as does Ethereum. Now I am here and perhaps this can eventually replace my usage of reddit.
