I feel grateful for just being here, but in that there is no one to be grateful to - I don't know, maybe ned or dan for creating this community. To pay it forward, I guess convincing others to join would be the best option. I already have my family on Steemit, so that would leave friends, which is not that easy. For one thing, many people tend to raise an eyebrow hearing about cryptos and it's hard to blame them with all the FUD. On the other hand, it's a bit of jealousy - it's hard to share something you love. Still something I need to work on.
I have both of these issues and the added one that I am embarrassed when people see I do well here. I need to work on these too as I shouldn't limit their opportunity because of my own discomfort. I have been trying a lot more lately but contending with the FUD is a challenge for average people.
