So, I Just Clocked 50!

No, not 50years, apparently it's gonna take long before I reach there lol. but well I can actually celebrate a (golden jubilee?) kinda thing before that comes. I actually mean "rep" 50. I know, I have read a few times how messed up the "rep" system is, but well, it still spells growth to an extent, yeah? Its been four months already (well, not exactly) and the journey so far has been really great.

The idea of being able to share my content and views on this platform (and the reward attached to it) sure caught my attention. The journey hasn't been a smooth one (obviously), but it has been an eventful one, and one filled with great lessons (which I hope won't bore you).

So, I actually discovered steemit last year November (accidentally?), but I didn't get to sign up until February 2018, I guess the idea hadn't settled in my head then until one night when I was actually bored, and the thought kinda "came" to my head well, I struggled to come up with the exact name of the platform and well, google kind helped me ( my account didn't get verified on time, so I had to re-register around March ending and it got verified within a week or so).

Finally, I joined and at first it seemed all new (and huge), like I was gonna drawn in some ocean, I had to find my way around and with time, I was able to do that.

Did I Have Any Crypto Knowledge Before Steemit?

Not really, the only cryptocurrency I knew back then is Bitcoin and Eth, and I had no Idea what it really was about or how it worked, except that they are digital currencies and you could earn or lose money investing in it.
So, What Have I learnt So Far?

Cryptocurrency: I have come to understand that cryptocurrencies are not just currencies but a revolution of freedom. The possibilities brought about by cryptos (and steemit) are just endless and I am all out to embrace this change. I am sure open to learning more

Networking: As an introverted person, I have also been laid back when it comes to the idea of networking, but with each day that passes by, steemit reminds me of the need to go out there and network with other people. I mean, how else are you gonna get noticed or your thoughts heard if you don't go "out there"? Oh well, I am slowly learning this, and hope to practice more of it!

We Need People To Grow (Most Times): That's obviously not new to me, but its a lesson I needed to relearn and steemit seemed like the perfect platform to help me relearn that. I am about having two or three people around which you can connect and grow with but well, two or three isn't always enough and for growth to occur, we really do need to reach beyond that sometimes. Not just that, we need to be open to giving support so as to recieve support also.

I have only spent a few months on steemit, and it has been a great journey so far (I actually didn't imagine I was gonna stay for this long), but well, I have! And steemit is slowly becoming one of my favourite social media platforms.

Things aren't perfect, but they will surely get straighten out with time and with our efforts as well (because we are all part of the community). I am here for the long haul, so expect more from me. I am actually just beginning. lol.
