Steem 3 Years

Graphic by @steemitboard

It's Sunday and Steem just turned 3 years old.

Happy Birthday!

In that time the Steem blockchain have come a very long way, see this post by @steemitblog for a rundown of a few of those milestones, and what is up ahead.

As for myself, I joined Steem just over a year ago, from a recommendation by @jongolson, thanks man.

However I just made a very small amount of posts and never really tried to make anything of it.

That's until 2 months ago, when I decided to make a Daily Blogpost in Steemit.

Before that I had a small Wordpress blog, which unfortunately got hacked, I'm not 100% sure how they got in, but there is a plugin that I strongly suspect.

After that I tried having a blog where a company ran the installation, but got tired of all the limitations, so I then remembered my Steemit blog.

I thought why not give it a try, so I started blogging daily on Steemit and really liked how easy it was to write posts in Markdown, and also liked the simple design.

But I also had a lot to learn, the first thing really being to use tags, and then making graphics in Gimp for my posts, and those small details that makes it look good.

Now the real kicker came with the connection to the Steem community, actually having people upvoting my posts and making comments and get discussions with other Steemians, that really made it take off.

I also reciprocated by upvoting and commenting with Steemians that I thought had something good to say, and again @jongolson was one of those.

I also found other Steemians that I thought made good content like, @cryptospa you're great man and also @imealien, @dobartim, @mindtrap, @dylanhobalart, @priyanarc, @rehan12, @mcoinz79, @crokkon, @joshman, @sulepower, well I have to stop there, there is just too many to name, you hopefully know who you are, thank you for being awesome.

And I have also had so many good conversations and comments, so thanks for those.

I also got challenged to the #seven77 Twitter hustle of 7 pushups for 77 days by @toufiqurrahman32, which was started by @freecrypto and @nathanmars.

This made my engagement with the Steem community much bigger, and I will make sure to continue with that.

This was also how I really came to connect with @nathanmars, and because of that he delegated 777 SP to me, thank you so much for that, you're my hero.

Now onto games and @drugwars, which I almost invested all of my liquid Steem into at one point, hopefully it will soon break even with the help of daily rewards, heist and upvotes of shared fights.

This is really the only game I have invested into, yet.

I also continue to learn all that I can, @steemsavvy is at the top when it comes to that, but also the Steem community, and my own research.

Plus I have these 2 upcoming ebooks about Steemit Blogging and Funding that slowly comes together, and I hope those will be of great help to new Steemians and also drive Steem adoption.

Well, this was a long post to write on the amazing app of @partiko, I have to stop now, it's getting late.

If you have read all of this, you're awesome, so thank you very much, and have a great year 4 with Steem.

Sincerely,
Erik Gustafsson
