I've long followed cryptos, starting with an article I read regarding Bitcoin in 2010, and it's potential to supplant fiat currency. However (and unfortunately) I never dipped my toes into altcoins until Steemit came along. Steemit apeals to me because it's not regular altcoin crypto, it's a newly minted social immersion platform that serves the users, and is not a centrally managed model that arbitrarily censors content creators. For the first time in human history...if you can dream it, you can Steemit. And no one can subjectively decide to keep your dreams from the world's open eyes!
