This is the last week on Steem being under 1 year! Starting next week I will have been on Steem for more than 365 days!
When I started 
Hive account@jonbit was trying to convince me how great this platform was. I was hesitant, but after a few weeks of insisting I join, I decided to give the concept a whirl. Boy how things changed fast.
Three weeks later Hive account@jonbit and I decide to begin a project, an upvote bot. We realized pay bots were popular and set out to build our own. After realizing we would need a very large amount of SP, we realized we could offer other Steemians an opportunity to Pool their SP with us and share in the rewards.
After another week it was clear that pay bots were easily and often abused by spammers and just down right terrible content. So we set back to the drawing board...
Thus the birth of 
Hive account@shadowbot! Realizing if we focus on rewarding good content while taking from the abusers, we could offer a FREE system for all Steemians! This concept has now grown over the last 11 months and will continue on for many years to come!
Fast forward to the Winter all time highs, the insanity rally, and the FOMO crash! This was actually some of the best times yet! The engagement during those few months was so incredibly high and the payouts were past mars (take that elon)!
And now we are here, almost 1 year in and about to launch the beta preview of our new platform 
Hive account@shadowbook! Get ready for another great year to come!
