Man things sure have changed since that summer morning in May of 2017, that was when I started.
Back then things where a lot smaller, most of all, the post payouts. This was before the vote bot, the only thing we had was good ole 
But why are you Here? See I started because I needed something different, something not everyone was invovled in. I have been a silver gold invester for a good little while. Never really believing that steemit would grow so fast. After a few short weeks on steemit, it takes that long just to figure it out. I stumbled on a group of steemians that had a passion for precious metals. Few weeks after that #steemsilvergold was born and this is where I pretty much call home. Now steemit has always been an investment for me, I can remember when steem was valued at a big ole .68 cents. And now we are finally reaching a true market value for steem and SBD.
So why do I steemit? Well it's simple financial protection. Making money on steemit was never really my intention, I wanted to buy financial protection. How does one do this you might ask, well that's simple as well. It's called silver and gold and you can buy both of these with crypto currencies.
The friendships where a unexpected bonus.
Man are there some AWESOME people on steemit, so very blessed to be here and build the friendships that I have gained. This is priceless to me, you can not compare the worth of this to anything else.
To the newbies
My one piece of advice that I can offer is this. Stay consistant, stay clam and don't worry about growing to fast, your time will come.
Now on to the pictures, this is everything that I have bought with crypto's, most of which has come from steemit, so for those of you you don't believe that steemit is real, it is very much real with some true value to it.
Find you a community on steemit and get invovlved it will help more than you can realize.
Proud supporter of #steemsilvergold
