Hi everyone, my name is Fraser and I ride motorcycles and have been into Bitcoin since 2013. I feel really dirty at the moment as I had to reactivate my bloody Facebook account in order to finally join up, Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I knew about this project from the beginning but didn't like the idea of having to use Farce-book or Reddit, which I had never joined and was put off since hearing about all the censorship going on over there.
This reminds me of Stellar and I can understand the developers using this method to stop greedy bastards signing up multiple times in order to get free steem, but had hoped they would introduce an option of signing up without receiving free coins with an added bonus of also being anonymous. I wrote to them in the beginning asking for this option, but have yet to receive a reply.
So I find myself sprinting next to this train having to jump on before I get left behind as this project has really gathered "Steem"
So after having to go through the signing on process I'm off for a shower to clean up before finding my way around this platform.
