"Who Was The First User You Followed On Steemit? Why?" 30 Days Writing Challenge - Day 20

My Steemit account was approved on December 28, 2017. That week, I was up late at night and I had just started investing in cryptocurrency thanks to my brother-in-law who convinced me that I needed to jump into this world. I came across a post on Steemit and saw that this user had earned money for writing this post. As a writer, this intrigued me, so I signed up.

What was actually only about four and a half months ago feels like years ago (the day I signed up). And while it's hard to remember my early days on Steemit, it's easy to go back into the past thanks to the tools we have available to us, and fun to look back at where we came from.

@Dragosroua is challenging Steemians to a 30-Day Writing Challenge. For day #20, he asks, "Who Was The First User You Followed On Steemit? Why?" Here's my response:

My First Follow and Why

When asked "who was the first user you followed on Steemit?," my instant response was, "I have absolutely no ideas." Thanks to Steemd (visit steemd.com/yourusername), I can find exactly who I followed first after having my account approved on Steemit.

There it is!

@Boxmining was my very first follow on Steemit. If you're unfamiliar with the channel, Michael, founder of Box Mining, discusses all of the topics surrounding cryptocurrency in an easy-to-understand and entertaining format.

Since I was just learning about cryptocurrency when I signed up, I wanted to soak up as much information as possible. I believe I found @Boxmining on the trending page, and have followed ever since to learn about what's new in the world of cryptocurrency.
