I saw steem on an exchange and was curious about it. I joined and fell down this rabbit hole.
There are normally so many tokens on an exchange, nothing else drew you to this one?
Honestly, it was newly added. It wasn’t exactly an exchange. It was eobot, the online mining site(man cloud mining brings me back to the start of my crypto adventure, I could exchange coins to btc on it so semi exchange) and it being new and me checking out of every coin that I could deposit there was easy to get somehow, I joined. Boom, it got me addicted. Social aspect kept me coming back. And it was easy to earn steem.

First of all I want to thank you for the upvote you gave to my post, it is not easy for me to get consideration from big users, writing almost exclusively in Italian, my English is quite elementary, this post I translated with Google to do first, I would not have understood it easily. I arrived on Steemit after a couple of reports, the second in September 2017, I hesitated a few more months before signing up, entering only 18 January 2018, losing the best moment on this platform, I assure you it's not rhetoric but lately I'm not blessed with luck. I have no money to invest on this platform, my only strength is the constancy of daily publication and interaction, I am slowly accumulating Steem on Steem, I see this platform as a long journey, made up of many stages, finding every now and then a upvote like yours is a very satisfying reason for me, I try to help the new entrants, upvotandoli and telling them not to do it towards me, at least until they have exceeded 500 Steem, they don't always listen to me and I still upvotano, I left from scratch, I would like to become at least a dolphin, I don't say orca because it would be a great dream, like the fact that one day this platform can give you small economic (or big, why not?!) satisfactions, I try, I have to try, the my financial future is not happy at the moment, I am great, I am 53 years old, with many unknowns still to be solved, I think I call myself like you, nice to meet you, I am Marco from Rimini, Italy.

I read an article on financial times how to earn crypto for free and coming here.
Here we go.
In the begining the whales are here for us, right now i have one a lovely orka with her love for us.
My story isn't much different. I had heard of Steem a few times beforehand in 2016 but I for some reason mostly ignored it. Then in 2017, when I used to roam bitcointalk threads for new coins to mine, I saw the Steem thread and decided to finally check it out. I joined in May 2017, early, but like you, still feeling a little too late to the party.
Someone from my nomad cruise tribe shared her first steemit.com post on Facebook and told us that she was planning on making money with blogging. I had no clue how it would work, but I was struggling with my day job, so it seemed like an interesting option to change my lifestyle. She never posted after that again... I may not be super active at the moment, but not planning on leaving.
@someguy123 pitched it to me. I came and stayed for the memes.
I remember my first post that did okay was because @steeminator3000 resteemed it.
Then, flag wars and stuff. Rest is history.

An anarchist group on facebook in July 2016.
We were talking bitcoin, and somebody mentioned steemit.
I ignored it; then a week later somebody else mentioned it. I ignored that too. (Bitcoin maximalist at the time)
Third time, I thought I'd investigate.
Read about it on a trading platform 12 months ago where they mentioned delegating steem and make 20% ROI plus. Sounded worth checking out.
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.
