You know it is actually mind blowing to see what is happening with steemit. I only starting learning about Cryptocurrency 3 months ago. The only reason I looked into bitcoin was because I was trying to find an alternative funding source for online gambling sites for a betting group on Facebook. And yeah I was placing a few bets here and there. As I dove deep into the process of using bitcoin and how it could be easier for online gamblers, I came across a youtube channel with Amanda.B.Johnson called "The Daily Decrypt". She got me interested in Dash, so I went in a hot pursuit to find out more. After joining the community I started really seeing the possibilities of cryptocurrency and the blockchain. A few days later a Dash user Hive account@thedashguy posted a link to steemit and said you guys should check this out. I had a look and was instantly interested. Since then every day is a learning experience, I use steemit as my school for learning. Only stayed at school until the age of 14 so never really got my grammar or spelling in check. Never blogged until steemit. If you see the enthusiasm on steemit and the way it is being promoted globally it can only be deemed to succeed. Let's hope it continues like this in the future.I love this platform and I believe it will be here for the long run. BTW I​ haven't placed a bet since the first day on steemit which in itself is a win win for me:).​I have read all of your posts and have gained some more insight so thank you:)
