A Trip Down Memory Lane – Some Steemit History and Contest Inside

STEEM was launched in March 2016, almost two years ago.  With the upcoming birthday I thought we could take a trip down memory lane and look at some of the first postings on Steemit.

The first post on Steemit only earned $1.70, it received 442 votes, 329 comments and still growing and 2,792 views.  It was posted on the 30th March 2016 by @steemit

 

The first person to reply to this post was @admin

 

The Second post on Steemit earned $2.05 from 6 votes, 1 comment and only 17 views

 

It was posted on the 6th April by @red

Two days later on the 8th April @abit stepped in….check out his first post earning only $0.59

 

Only half an hour after this post, @abit jumps in again with the next post on the block….the first Witness Thread post.

  

After this post, there was a series of witness posts before this random post by @roadscape

Well now I never, do you see @stellabelle in there with an early comment :-)

I loved this post, the first post by @dantheman 

   

But he must not have been too sure it was working because later he left this comment on a post

 

Lol @dan it did work and the post you left that comment for was already published to the block.  It was a post by @val 

   

The first post by @ned seems to be a comment.  It was left on a witness thread post by @lafona

   

@neds first real post, well its not very exciting now, but I bet when he posted it, it was like finally getting to press that big red button

The first post to earn over $1000 was a post by @donaldtrump. This was also the first post to get over 100 votes 

Now for a Contest

I found the first post by @ned that was flagged and hidden by low ratings. The first person to find this post and put a link in the comments below will be sent $5 SBD.  Remember this post was hidden due to low ratings…..happy hunting…

I hope you enjoyed this trip down memory lane, I really enjoyed looking at this data.  I ended up getting lost for hours reading posts and comments from the first few weeks.  This is a piece of history folks.  The first posts on a social media blockchain.  Happy Birthday Steemit - hoping for many more historic moments.
