I was a fan of crypto before I had ever heard of Steemit. I was always a bit too scared to jump into crypto but I've recently decided to take the plunge. One of my goals in life is to be as financially self-reliant as possible and I view Crypto and Steemit as opportunities to move my life in that direction. I'm still learning the ropes here but hope one day to be able to contribute positively to this community.
