In the spring of 2017 I found Decentraland and was lucky enough to purchase some land in the first offering. This was my first exposure to anything blockchain. During the process I had a look at what other project that were out there. My research lead me to Steemit.com. I created an account and a few days later I was in. I started poking around blogs and starting making some posts related to my work in music and education. The turning point was when I found the PAL discord and became active in that community. Once I had some guidance I learned where the strengths of the blockchain were and where my place could be. I am still trying to figure out my place but I am loving the journey and the process.
