Some thoughts on Steemit from a Minnow

I've been active on Steemit almost a week now. It has been an invigorating and overwhelming experience.

I haven't actively blogged in longer than I'd care to admit, and I've wanted to get back into the game, so to speak, for a while now. When a friend of ours told my husband about Steemit, it was almost too good to be true. In a lot of ways Steemit is the blogging site of my dreams, and the both of us couldn't wait to sign up.

When my account finally got approved, I was so excited, and then, I started to read the Terms & Conditions, Welcome info, and FAQs. Briefly, fear took hold of me, and I thought that maybe signing up for Steemit wasn't such a good idea after all. Prior to just a week or two ago, my knowledge about cryptocurrencies was that they existed and nothing else.

I pushed fear aside and forced myself to continue with the process of setting up my Steemit account. I wrote and published my first entry and got the most wonderful welcome from you Steemians. Needless to say, it was thrilling. Even if only a handful of people commented on my post, it means that they read it. That's awesome for someone, who has long aspired to be a writer.

I'm still exploring and getting my feel for how things work on Steemit. I won't lie; it has been hard to find content in which I'm interested in investing. I know that content is out there somewhere, and I will find it. Until then, I wanted to share some things I like about Steemit:

• Wonderful community - I've been participating in social media and blogging sites for a long time. This is one of the best communities I've seen. People support and engage each other.
• Photography - I've seen so many awesome pictures, and I love getting to see photos from around the world.
• Posts about cryptocurrency - I was afraid I wouldn't be able to learn how all of this works, but so many of you have dedicated parts or all of your blog to educating others about cryptocurrency. Thank you.

Until next time, I'll leave you with a photograph of my own.
