Finding out about Bitcoin
First lets talk about find out bitcoin was a thing and a amazing thing! So, i was about 16 and i was looking for a bank to store my money into. But, i really didn't like the idea of banks with all the fees for if you withdrawal too much or need to send a payment to another country. So i looked up alternatives and soon enough found bitcoin read up on it, found it to be amazing technology and the rest is history.

Discovering Steemit.com
Ok, so go about a year later after discovering BTC i followed a youtuber @trevonjb and watched his videos on and off. Then one day he uploads a video on steemit and how he is putting in 80% or so of his BTC in to steem power so then he explained steemit and i went to sign up immediately and i then got confirmed 2 days later and the rest is history :)

Why Did I Immediately Signed Up?
Because at first i really didn't believe it. The fact that you publish posts and people up-vote those posts and give you money without spending dime on you. And that they get rewarded for up-voting you too! So that is one of the main reasons i did immediately sign up. Also i wanted to be a bit more social about BTC and other things so this seemed like the perfect place!
