My involvement with cryptos started probably around 2012. A friend and former tenant pulled me down the rabbit hole kicking and screaming.

By the time STEEM came into my life Proof of Work had replaced any semblance of my childhood religion; although you could still call me a recovering catholic.

A little over three years ago when learning of STEEM it sounded like a cute idea; although having watched DevCoin's value raped through content rewards on its Wiki, DevTome, STEEM did not seem like a good investment. The governance seems ripe for corruption, as well, even if not taken to the extremes of its younger sibling EOS.

Yet there were geeks galore working on novel ideas for crypto use and they had their own social media platform running on a blockchain! Never again would one need to conform to the politics of bitcointalk. 😎

There was no illusion that there was a latent James Joyce in me. Having posted, only, a little over 100 posts in over 3 years is testiment to that. My plan was to buy in with the inevitable dip from reward rape by all those Dickens what-to-be's.

You could, politely, say that my feel for the bottom was premature when buying dophinhood at 3275 btc satoshi's, but no regrets as there is little doubt that STEEM will see better days with HF23 on the way. It will no longer be that one way sucking sound of golddiggers here when STEEM tops a dollar. It will be folks needing STEEM as a utility token and not even knowing it while using killer dApps.

Meanwhile, we Geeks will have our social media on the blockchain.

STEEM On!!! ♨
