I haven’t been all that active here lately, though had a reasonable amount of success as one of the earlier adopters. There’s probably more epic feature stories out there, though as a basic overview:

seeking to bridge the gap from being a DJ & writer in Bali to entering the world of blockchain technology and facing the stresses of a super slow season and business uncertainties upon moving back to Canada at the end of the year - stumbled into Steemit, earning (and taking out) over $25k in 6 weeks - the equivalent of 100 DJ gigs…

not only eased the financial pressure - but gave a start into cryptocurrency investing, and led me into exploring blockchain developments in the music industry - giving a glimpse of how the music industry stands to benefit with a range of blockchain-based applications, from digital rights management & innovating licensing models to music curation platforms (that could pay listeners for their service of voting, just as on Steemit - though the funds allocated from music sales, split via smart contracts).

could be an interesting combo angle - covering both a Steemit success story AND bridging into an expansive vision for such technology’s potential for the music world - which of course fits well with Rolling Stone’s core focus…

hit me up with a private message on the Steemit.chat (username “sivante”) if interested and wanna discuss more.
