Hey guys, my name is Spencer Coffman. Thank you for watching this YouTube channel. It's all about making information known to you. Today, we've got a special preview for you of an interview with Steemit whale @Yabapmatt. Take a look at this question - coming up next.
Spencer: Do you remember, why you first joined Steemit and when that was? And whatever you can, kind of, remember about that. Why you came to the platform and what, you know, how you got indoctrinated to Steemit and why you joined. I guess would be the next question. So let's hear about it.
Matt: I first joined Steem in August of last year (2017), so relatively recently I guess you could say. I don't remember specifically what got me to Steem. It was around that time that I really started to get into crypto currencies, in general. So I assumed just through Googling, and whatever, I came across some Steem posts. I guess and signed up, you know? I first actually started getting in to Bitcoin in 2012. I started mining it on my computer, at home, and it was right around the time when my son was born, and we, you know, moved into a new house and all this stuff. So I just didn't have time really for any of that, so I stopped. And I think, I think after that, I was both like being busy and just being annoyed that I didn't just leave the application mining on my computer.
Then I tried to just kind of ignore Bitcoin and how well it was doing. But, I guess, last summer it was kind of, you couldn't ignore these things anymore, and also it's just like as a developer and someone who kind of really agrees with all the things behind Bitcoin and crypto currencies and decentralization of money and many other things. I guess it's really no surprise that I've gotten very into it over the past eight months. And I'm really glad that I also found Steem, because you know, of the crypto currencies that I have, Steem’s the only one that I really use, and it's great. It's a great community, and I wouldn't nearly be as involved in the whole space I think if it wasn't for Steem.
Spencer: So that was it. I hope you learned something from it. Be sure to check out the full interview for all the questions, more information, and a lot more of an in-depth look at everything.
