Entering crypto through Steem Q&A

In this post I will be answering some questions from Hive account@whatsup about users who entered the crypto world through Steem. You can see her original post here

I heard about crypto way before I joined Steem, but I never actually did anything about it so... here are my answers:

1. How did you hear about Steem?
   From a friend and colleague.

2. When did you join?
   L. Cohen's Famous blue raincoat first line says it all :)

3. Why did you join? (What was the attraction?)
   First of all ability to explore and play with blockchain without investment, after that money. Also I never liked expressing my thoughts publically nor sharing anything, so I used steem as excuse to start slowly doing it more and more, and actually enjoying it. Still there is some withold from time to time - but much better. :)

4. Have you expanded your crypto life beyond just Steem.
   Indeed I have, but my life is tied to steem now. :)

5. How would you explain your current interest in Steem and Crypto in general?
   Investing fiat, time, effort and some nerves to keep witnesses running and not screwing up everything. :) So, it is even bigger than at any point in previous year and few months.

6. Are you holding or investing (no judgment here, I am just wanting to prove or disprove the value)
   Recently I started investing every month something that I can spare.

Just in case #2 was too much - it was in the end of December 2017
