A Trip Down Memory Lane – Some Steemit History and Contest Inside

STEEM was launched in March 2016, almost two years ago. With the upcoming birthday I thought we could take a trip down memory lane and look at some of the first postings on Steemit.

The first post on Steemit only earned $1.70, it received 442 votes, 329 comments and still growing and 2,792 views. It was posted on the 30th March 2016 by Hive account@steemit

The first person to reply to this post was Hive account@admin

The Second post on Steemit earned $2.05 from 6 votes, 1 comment and only 17 views

It was posted on the 6th April by Hive account@red

Two days later on the 8th April Hive account@abit stepped in….check out his first post earning only $0.59

Only half an hour after this post, Hive account@abit jumps in again with the next post on the block….the first Witness Thread post.

After this post, there was a series of witness posts before this random post by Hive account@roadscape

Well now I never, do you see Hive account@stellabelle in there with an early comment :-)

I loved this post, the first post by Hive account@dantheman

But he must not have been too sure it was working because later he left this comment on a post

Lol Hive account@dan it did work and the post you left that comment for was already published to the block. It was a post by Hive account@val

The first post by Hive account@ned seems to be a comment. It was left on a witness thread post by Hive account@lafona

Hive account@neds first real post, well its not very exciting now, but I bet when he posted it, it was like finally getting to press that big red button

The first post to earn over $1000 was a post by Hive account@donaldtrump. This was also the first post to get over 100 votes

Now for a Contest

I found the first post by Hive account@ned that was flagged and hidden by low ratings. The first person to find this post and put a link in the comments below will be sent $5 SBD. Remember this post was hidden due to low ratings…..happy hunting…

I hope you enjoyed this trip down memory lane, I really enjoyed looking at this data. I ended up getting lost for hours reading posts and comments from the first few weeks. This is a piece of history folks. The first posts on a social media blockchain. Happy Birthday Steemit - hoping for many more historic moments.
