Confession time... I have known about Steemit for a while now. I'm a professional nerd who tends to try to learn something new everyday.
The fact is, I am not very into social media. Sure, I'll post the occasional picture of my dog or a long rant about technology but I tend to prefer sipping on a good homebrew with a friend while doing chores.
The odd part is I do know some amazing content producers! 
My role here is one of education so I can introduce more people to cryptocurrency and new technology. I have always been a firm believer in getting hands on experience so you can best assist others.
Steemit lowers the bar all the way down to zero dollars and a few minutes of reading. Great work team. I am looking forward to introducing others to this platform as I continue my current mission to provide no BS information to others.
