There was a time I hated eating eba, but I was forced to eat it until I got used to it, and it became a part of my system. Now, I love it. Whenever Daddy was around, eba tasted better because of the wine on the side, and the promise that if we finish our food, he would take us to the park or buy us some gifts.
I hated drugs with a fervid passion. One fateful Tuesday, after my mum had devised so many techniques to make me swallow my malaria drug but failed, she handed me over to my dad. A good beating would have done the trick and made me swallow the drug but she knew that dad didn't like her beating us in his presence. So she handed me over to him.
I was overjoyed. I felt I had escaped the peril of swallowing a bitter chloroquine tablet. I knew dad wouldn't beat me, so I was smiling inside, looking far away from my mum due to the fear of making her angrier.
My dad was eating eba at that moment and he said this exact words; "You have to take this drug Toju." "But its too bitter," I whispered, looking at his eyes in a bid to bribe him with my crocodile tears.
The next thing my dad did, convinced me that he is a genius. He wrapped the drug in a boll of Eba and then he said"Open your mouth." I did. In a sweet and pleasurable gulp, the drug now wrapped in Eba traveled smoothly and speedily down my esophagus and landed safely on my stomach. No bitter taste at all. Genius!
Steemit is just like that. Steemit is the "Eba" that is used to wrap the drug "Cryptocurrency mass adoption." Steemit has been rightly described by 
A gateway drug is not like chloroquine, it's more like cannabis. A gateway drug is a drug that usually leads the user to more addictive and dangerous drugs. Steemit has done what no other cryptocurrency could do and the entire cryptocurrency community should be grateful. Steemit made ordinary people would not have had the chance to even know about cryptocurrency to be able to earn it. It took away the bitter taste of an initial investment.
Most people come into Steemit with the intention of blogging and making some money. Before you know it, they are staring at coinmarketcap.com every ten seconds in fervid addiction. They sit there hoping that their favorite crypto, which they got with their hard-earned Steem Dollars, goes to the moon.
