My First Crypto Coin Purchase! Bought Some Steem!

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

So I officially made my very first crypto purchase!
Of course I bought Steem!
I know this is a small amount, one that some of you investors would laugh at.
"Oooh look, he spent $100, that's cute!".
However, this is a big deal for me.
For starters, if it weren't for Steemit, I would likely have never even had the confidence to buy into a crypto.
My introduction to crypto was through Steemit and it only seemed right that my first purchase was in a currency that I've come to truly believe in.
I have to thank @shayne for showing me the light. If it wasn't for you I would have never known about this amazing platform!
Anyway, even though this was a small investment, it won't be my last.
As a married father of four, having an extra $100 laying around is a rare occurrence.
With the recent dip in crypto values, I thought this was a great opportunity to take the plunge. I've not only invested in something that I believe in, but I've also taken this small step towards financial freedom for myself and my family.
I want to personally thank the following people, in no particular order.
Even though you may not have intended to, you encouraged me to take this first step.

Congrats on your first purchase.

It is a huge deal making your first steps in crypto like this, it does not matter how many decimal places or zeros are involved.

These are some of my most fav. posts to read on here, along with (other) milestone posts and people helping people type posts.

I love it, good for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks so much man!
I agree, the amount doesn't really matter.
I do wish it was more though.
I really love this platform and I think steem is an excellent investment.
Hopefully I can buy more soon before it goes to the moon.

I have noticed and liked your posts, keep up the good work my man.

Hey @barrydutton, right after I read your comment here I happened to notice that I hit 300 followers today, so I wrote up my very first milestone post! Thanks for the inspiration!

I was out for awhile today, that is awesome man.

I love me a good milestone post.

Congrats Dougie!!!!

jonny you are a great steemian and can't wait till you hit 60 rep, resteeming :)

Not great yet... But my show is quickly coming and then I believe I'll truly leave my mark around here.
I got a notice from the lawyers today that my release forms are ready, so i can start filming Hots or Shots!
I'm super excited!
I really appreciate your support though.
I'm very happy we crossed paths.

It's a big leap to take your cash and convert it to digital currency. Here's to an ever increasing STEEM price! @ironshield

Hey @jonny-clearwater,

I'm also a married father of four... I know what you mean about having an extra $100 being a rare thing. Like you, I've also been investing some in Steem. My goal is to purchase a little every week to increase my Stake.

Glad you took the plunge!

Great!
You bought in a perfect moment, and don't worry, it's not so poor investment, take care.
Steem on!

Nice! I bought $120 of Steem last week myself, as you say it might not be a big deal for some but we don't all have thousands just lying around...

May the crypto be with you!

Very much this. My first crypto was steem as well Also for a €100. got some small pocket change in others coins now but nothing big. Steem does seem to make the transition in to crypto very smooth easy and gradual.

I bought a hundred dollars worth this morning too. And now it's up 25%. Feels gooooooood

Same wavelength! I did the same thing today. Best of luck to both of us.
