I would join Steemit, definitely.
I knew about Steemit just last August but I was convinced to join only last October. I greatly regret why I was not able to know about this platform when it was still at its early stage. If I had known about this when it just started, then maybe I would have been successful and had helped others to also be successful in this platform.
If I could go back 1 year from today, then I would not have 2nd thoughts about joining the Steem platform. I think that was the time when this platform is at its best and the Steem community is at its very active state, curating and creating good contents. With that said, your success is within your very reach.
I signed up to this platform October this year, the time when the prices of Cryptocurrencies plummeted. Many Steemers (what I call the people in this platform) became inactive because they don't gain anything. The only good thing about this time is, we still engage on the platform not because of monetary rewards but because we love the platform, the community and we enjoy what we are doing here.
