One of my first followers, , has written a great post on his blog, asking us steemians why we are here.
In fact, there are 5 questions in his survey and i thought it would be cool to answer with a blog post. Please read the original post, it also contains footage of the wonderful Matrix movie:

Here are my answers:
Q: Where did you heard/read about Steemit the first time you can remember?
Somebody on YouTube or Twitter mentioned it. Super boring answer, but it's the truth.
Q: Do you think Steemit or a later blockchain developments will surpass the major social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram)?
No, because Facebook or Google will buy steemit once it is big enough :D
Honestly, i don't know. I fear that old-school internet companies have stronger lobbyism going on, some governments already plan to restrict/ban crypto currencies and related services. I hope this will not happen.
Q: What was the major reason you signed up on Steemit?
The terms "decentralized", "ad-free" and "uncensored".
Q: Are you interested in crypto currencies? Would you prefer #Steem over #Bitcoin?
I give a s***. I only know that STEEM is the currency here, so what's Bitcoin? ;) So far, i still only trust the bankroll in my pocket. Will change my mind when remarkable amounts of crypto come in. I also understand and respect that crypto currencies may play a more important role in other people's life.
Q: What's in your fridge right now, what should not belong into it? I wrote about mutual trust so don't think to skip that one...
Best question :D Beer, Meat and Pizza :)
Again, feel free to read the original post and answer those questions yourself. It'll be nice to read your responses.
