I am so excited to join and becoming a part of the growing Steem community.In my first blog post i will share how i came to be on Steemit.
Im a young African studying in University in South Africa.I first found out about bitcoin about a year ago and i remember someone rallying people on social media when it had just hit a thousand bucks to join the wave.I chuckled and ignored it partly because i was scared it was complicated and i did not know where to start exactly.
Im a big fan of technology news so im always on google looking for news about new developments as in Africa we tend to be behind in tech advancement stuff.
My renewed interest in bitcoin surged again towards the end of March this year when Bitcoin was rallying towards $2000.This time being older and mature also seeking my own financial independence i decided to learn more about the crypto world and by May i had an account and made my first $50 investment into Bitcoin.
Now i know some of you might be wondering why i started with a background to Bitcoin.The reason is Bitcoin made me research more about cryptocurrencies and new developments on the blockchain.
I invested into litecoin and Ethereum as soon as we got access in South Africa! After a couple of weeks hearing about Steem on Youtube and largely ignoring it like i did with bitcoin initially i was finally persuaded to research and join the Steem community after watching a video by a guy called theDollar Vigilante.
This my friends is how i came on Steem and am sharing this post with you.I wish to read stories about other Users's experience with Steem.In the next post i will reveal what content i want to share on my blog!
Happy Posting:)
