Steem is 3 years old today!
If it wasn't for @blockbrothers community manager @brittandjosie post I might have missed it!
Steem is 3 years old today!
Time sure flies and in July this year I will be celebrating my own 3rd year of being part of this blockchain.
From visiting Steemfest 1 in Amsterdam as a 4 months old minnow to a top 100 Steempower holder it's been an interesting and exciting journey I can tell you that.
I'm very grateful for recognising the opportunity that Steem is (even today) back then and to see what I saw back then become real (and much more than that).
By now, I have spend a hell of a lot of time on here.
But unlike my old job not because I had to but because I wanted to and that difference is hard to put in words.
It's incredible fun to wake up in the morning and see another project appear on the blockchain or see an update to an exciting one.
There is always something going on the chain and I continue to believe that Steem is one of the strongest if not strongest blockchains out there.
I at-least can see pretty clearly where it's going: A complete social economic ecosystem powered by Steem.
When it comes to price, personally I think (unless something catastrophic happens) we have seen the worst of things in December 2018 this time round and from now will find our way up again slowly.
I also want to see the people that kept building in this downtrend rewarded for their believe in the chain because it's not always easy in these markets.
One thing I'm sure off is that STEEM is now in stronger hands.
3 years of Steem, let's see:
- We have the biggest and most diverse community in crypto.
- We have the most used applications (4 out of the top 5 are Steem Apps on stateofthedapps).
- We soon have MIRA, making Steem one of the cheapest (and therefor most decentralised) blockchains to run.
- Revenue models (outside of crypto) for Steem apps are becoming very real.
I could talk about this stuff for hours but I won't because I gotta shoot off.
It's my grandmothers birthday party today and just like Steem that's important too!
Have a good Sunday!

@exyle,
Happy B'dy STEEM and I think STEEM also lucky to have people like you during these 3 years of journey! More to go and hope SMT might change the phase of STEEM to a new era in 2020!
Cheers~
great points man. and happy 3 years to steem :)
but what you said hit the nail on the head for me. this past year during the bear market we really saw who truly believed in steem and built awesome projects here.
excited for the next 3 years. it’s going to be a blast!

Wow, I had no idea you went to Steemfest as such a young Steemian. 4 months in, you already saw the value of Steemit/STEEM on the blockchain.
I was introduced to Steemit early as well. In spring/early summer 2016 a friend sent me a link on Facebook (of all places) about some huge amount that was made on a post. I thought it was a scam and clicked away.
I finally joined in July, 2017 costing me over a year when I could have been networking with the early (now) whales. Lesson learned...
I'm hopeful we've seen the backside of this crypto-winter and look forward to the future of STEEM!
You lost some time, but still got here much earlier than most!
Doesn't feel like time is running so fast, 3 years is indeed a relatively young age, but you have achieved a high level which includes 100 of the biggest SP holders, in the age of 3 years you achieve that is certainly something extraordinary and difficult to achieve by people ordinary people ... I've been in Steem for almost 2 years, but still continue to be a small fish, and can even continue for a few more years to reach like you ..😊
Congrats Mark @exyle and Happy Birthday to your Grandmother.......
I can’t wait to see what happens 3 years from now ... good times 🙌🏼
