Celebrating Steemit's 1M Accounts Milestone
Hey, hey, hey! Steemit just got its 1Millionth account milestone!
I found this platform almost a year ago and it has changed my online habits since then. I learned a lot through this platform and I made it a point to share it with most people I know.
Why do I steem?
1. Rewards
I first came here with the idea that I can earn rewards for each blog I make. Initially, with "rewards" I thought it was in dollars,so great. However, only after posting my intro and reading more articles in here, that I found out about crypto currencies.
I must have lived under a rock for so long!
Why did I not know about cryptos earlier?!2. Community
Reading on, I found that steemit is not just a blogging platform. It is a community. And a community with a heart! At that time, on #trending, I was touched at how the community came together to help a steemian in need. Check out this post if you want to know more:
I have not seen anything like this on the other social media I was in before! What? Coming together to help someone from across the globe, you have not even met personally? That was amazing.
3. Charity
I realized that CHARITY is not too hard to make on Steemit. How many times have I come across a plea for help on FB and I was not able to help because (1) I do not have the financial means, (2) even if I did, how do I give my donation? Go out and deposit to their bank accounts?
With steemit you do not have to do that. I did not have to shell out money money, but I could give a portion of my earnings to whoever it was I found I could help just by giving my tiny upvote or transferring some sbd's or steem direct to his/her wallet.
All of these, I was able to do while I express myself through blogs.
I normally write about my parenting woes and glees, our homeschool adventures and everything else under the sun. It makes me happy that I can share my boring self to others but still get appreciated.
Then of course, the joy of finding great content from other writers...
And guess what? I met a lot of people too!
Across many nations, from my country and from my current location, I was able to become a part of different communities. It is so nice to know so many bright and lovely people that I never thought I would even meet.
I have organized 3 steemit Meet and Greet here in the UAE so far, and it was so fulfilling.
11 months and counting.
I am glad that I am still here and I am one of these 1 million accounts, and that I am still actively steeming daily. I guess it would stay that way for a long time...
