Never did I think that posting one video on Steemit

would evolve into $100,000 balance. But it did, and I thank you all for following, commenting and joking around with me for so long. Really, this is just the beginning as the paper monetary system becomes as common as an 8-track-tape.

This was the hook, line, and sinker for me.

I was messing around with this strange new site called steemit@steemit and I posted a funny video I had seen earlier in the day. There I was, treating Steemit.com as if it were Twitter or something.

I waited, biting my nails...

Is that real money? Is Steem listed on Poloniex? Will they really pay me? When can I spend it? No, it's a scam. It's got to be a scam. I hope it's not a scam!

A day later (I think it paid out a day later back then), I had Steem in my account and I transferred it directly out to the exchange to sell it. Five minutes after the money arrived at the exchange, I thought to myself, "Wait, this could be the start of a new social revolution!"

The buck stops here!

My steem came back to the platform and here we are.

early adoption is a beautiful thing
