Been on steemit since early August and I remember 2 months of zero or no payout. 
Hive account@blocktrades upvoted my #introduceyourself in the beginning, but it was rare to get a whale upvote back then.
I started steemit because I had just watched a recent 
Hive account@dollarvigilante video on youtube, where he interviewed 
Hive account@ned and 
Hive account@dan about 
Hive account@steemit.
What an amazing and crazy ride Steemit has been. I have two growing boys, so my time is more limited, but I'll still upvote the shit out of #minnow posts, because I remember the uphill climb.
I'm 
Hive account@runridefly, and I think facebook is for hometown friends and family, and #steemit is for any man, woman or child who loves a challenge, and wants to be a world traveler.
