My 2nd Year On Steemit

It had already been two years when I signed up with Steemit. That was first week of September 2017 when I found out about it.

I never had the opportunity to tell this journey and I think I would write something about it on my anniversary. So how did I start here? Back in 2017 I was searching Google play store for apps that I might like. Then I saw @esteemapp on my suggested list. It looks neat with the blue and white logo. I must admit, the logo got me clicking then reading about the said app. I then Immediately downloaded it but couldn't wrap my head around it. OK I believe I signed up but nothing happens after that. Maybe it was an email subscription that I click on but I don't remember anymore . No matter how I try to read about the app I couldn't connect why there is Steemit on top of it, that was my noob days when I didn't know about front ends although I kind of understand a bit about blockchain technology and crypto in general. The esteem app was a puzzle for me but I just let it sit on my phone and maybe when I had the time I could read more about it.

Until I had forgotten about the app for months. One day my online friends started talking about it. It looked familiar so I checked my phone looking for that blue and white logo of esteem. It was still a mystery to me. I would not be able to crack it if I would do my own research. As expected you can Google almost anything... Then after reading tons of search results I finally made it to the account registration page. Geez that wasn't an easy journey and it had just begun. During those times I wish I had someone who knows about Steemit to walk me through but even my friends are having the same birth pains so to speak. No one yet in my circle at that time had cracked the code it's a who got in first let's wait and see. When I read that I had to wait two to three weeks for my registration, I felt that this could get even more difficult but I was wrong. I think it only took me 3 or 5 days waiting for that final email from Steemit. How can I forget about holding my breath saving my Steemit password... It was never easy but I am glad I persevered and remained patient and calm otherwise I would have given up. Talking about the complexity of the platform and the markdown editing is another topic. Anyway I survived and until this day the platform keeps evolving.

Thanks for stopping by
