Well, I touched on how I ended up quitting (well, not going back to) my job in my post yesterday. https://steemit.com/introducemyself/@sponge-bob/let-me-introduce-mysponge-a-bit-about-me-at-last

Just like now with Steemit, bitcoin was once just this strange investment I made and it probably wouldn't ever get off the ground. Until is did. I popped a couple bitcoins into my Steem Power and now I vote a lot. My SP goes up 15-20 per day due to just voting. Yesterday morning I had 2958, this morning I had 2979 and now I am likely near 3000.
