I had no idea Hive existed until this month
Hello, my name is Steve Cronin and this is my first post on Hive :)
It's been well over a year since I last looked at my Steemit account. I had been blogging occasionally for two years at that point and arrived at a period where I didn't have much to say or write about publicly. However, one of the many hobbies I have engaged in the past year is playing the ETH based TCG #GodsUnchained, which has been a lot of fun. Recently, after building out my card collection there, I decided to check on my STEEM Monsters account, curious about the status of my early collection of Alpha & Beta cards. This is when I learned, from an old Steemit friend 
Migrating over 8 months late
My WTF moment came when I realized I could no longer exchange my STEEM and SBD without using two new exclusive exchange options offered by Steemit which are not supported in the U.S. The only thing I could do was send my STEEM to other STEEM users, not much use there. Well, I was wrong.
A huge thanks to 
Thankfully, STEEM Monsters, now apparently #Splinterlands, preserved my card collection with no action required on my part :)
Blogging here now
My content across the Internet, including on Steemit, used to be mostly focused on cognitive enhancement (see my VICE feature), however I don't have the desire to be so niche anymore - regardless of what all the Internet marketing gurus say! My immediate plans are to blog with Hive casually, because I support the product, and if I discover a niche use-case for it organically, then that would be fantastic.
Until then, I'm mostly just focused on learning more about the #Hive community (I currently have about 20 tabs open of different Hive blogs I'm about to check out) and enjoying the experience.
I'm sure there's posts I can readily find containing tips for new-comers, but if you have any suggestions, please let me know! As this is my first post on Hive, I am using the tag #introduceyourself and I'm hoping that's appropriate (if it's not, I'm sure people will let me know!)
