Say It! Share It! On Steemit! - Cryptodelos 23rd day on steemit

Hi Steemit!

A brief intro of how I got in to crypto and my decision of joining the steemit community.

I started in the crypto space in the early part of January of 2014, experienced its ups and mostly downs [Mt. gox] and am now experiencing the current growth of the blockchain technology worldwide we see today.

I got into crypto after listening to the local AM radio newscast while driving home from work. The radio announcer was talking about Bitcoin which is a form virtual internet currency and how it is being traded through online exchanges by people worldwide. After a few days of researching online I bought my first bitcoin on Coinbase, a San Francisco based bitcoin exchange in the US. I was a little hesitant at first, but I went ahead and got my feet wet. I traded bitcoin on Poloniex and Cryptsy, but it was too time consuming and you can get easily sucked into a rabbit hole. During that time there was a lot of FUD, pump and dumps, and I experienced multiple occurrences of FOMO. So I decided to save whatever BTC I had left, which was not much, in a paper wallet from blockchain.com. I believe the Blockchain Technology will improve our current financial system, voting system, and how we govern ourselves in the near future.

Who knew back then about the potential growth and benefits of this new Decentralized Technology [Blockchain]?
Steemit is one of the results of this new decentralized tech and is revolutionizing our social media platforms on all levels. Anyone all over the world can post their content be it written or video via social media without censorship or a central entity dictating what you can and cannot post. It is the only decentralized social media platform to date where you can be rewarded or paid instantly for your content by the Steemit community. Because of Steemit's said qualities, I hope for great success to be brought upon this platform and for it to become one of the most popular social networking sites.

After reading steemit blogs and watching videos of popular steemians, I decided to go for it! I joined steemit to contribute relevant content. I had no expectations then; I just wanted to see what steemit has to offer.

I created Café Delos to provide steemians a venue for their contents to be seen, read and acknowledged by the steemit community. I would like to acknowledge and thank all the steemians who supported me up to this point. Without their support Café Delos will not come to fruition.

Cheers!
