Weekly Question: What's your Steem origin story?
This post is my submission to @sndbox weekly question series:
What's your Steem origin story?
Last year's Bitcoin Bull Run sparked my interest in Crypto Currencies. At that time(up till now), crypto business was banned in my country. I had absolutely no way entry point, and frankly it was quite frustrating.
So I started googling, How to make crypto currency online free of cost???
On one lucky evening, I came across a YouTube video which talked about an amazing platform where you can make crypto currency by blogging. I paused the video and the very next moment I was typing in new tab...
https://steemit.com
I went to the sign up page...To my surprise after I applied for sign up, a message appeared telling me to wait at least 7 days till my account gets approved.
My first reaction was...
WTF
But after I surfed the platform for about 30 min, I was sitting with my mouth opened, WAO.
I waited patiently for 7 days for my account to get approved, in the mean time I read everything needed to know about Steem Ecosystem, The Community, Economics and Blockchain.
Finally on 06 Oct 2017, I became officially the part of Steem Blockchain and never turned back!!!
Too bad I can't remember or trace the video, but I guess I will be forever grateful to that particular video maker for introducing Steemit to me, and changing my life and opening my eye to the new horizons.
Thanks for using eSteem!

This is quite interesting. Mine was by introduction through a friend and brother.
Maybe I will share my story in a post too.
