Interesting question, since I had not asked that ...

The first time I heard from Steemit's platform I did not really understand what it was, since a friend told me it was like a social network where you received money for writing, I really could not believe that but what I could least understand was the moment my friend told me that the payment was made in a virtual currency.

I didn't know what a cryptocurrency was, in fact it cost me at first to understand how it worked since that was not common in my country, in fact almost nobody knew of its existence, I also explained about the virtual bank, which in that case was bittrex, I was really fascinated learning all these things and with many wishes to start on this platform.

I started posting day by day about my thoughts and things that I like, and it went really well, the population in steemit was very small so the number of votes was higher. I was very surprised at how much talent there is in steemit without knowing.

I met many people and started several projects, and I improved economically ... I learned to express myself better and to write better answers and also, I met many people from different parts of the world.

Currently I think that steemit has grown a lot and has also changed, the Spanish-speaking population also grew a lot which is good since we have made ourselves noticed giving a grain of sand to the platform. I think that steemit has served for the creation of many projects, has served to help people and establishments in real life, has been an investment for many people, and has known to value the talent of many people.

So without a doubt, I am grateful to have started at steemit.

Regards!!
