I began on Steem in June 2017. Before this, I had no experience in the world of blogging and to be honest, I really didn't know what I could bring to the community. I had been following Bitcoin and other cryptos since soon after Satoshi got the ball rolling but it was only when I found Steem through a friend that I realised that I could be involved in my own way. 'Proof of Brain' was the selling point and since I had no money but a small one of those I thought I would start using it to get involved in this exciting world and earn my way to a Lada, sorry Lambo.

'Write about what you know' was my English teachers advice when I was in school and with a long career in Ephemeral arts, I thought I would use this as a way to document my work which at that point was just a collection of photos and some memories in my head.

In those days of Steem newcomers were very welcome and as I posted my first content I was very happy that I began receiving some nice upvotes. They really encouraged me to keep going and make this a part of my life. Luckily there were some other Steem remember in Dublin and we met up once a month for chats and Guinness.

I no way was it plain sailing from there. There have been many ups and downs but thankfully there has always been enough output for my input to keep me keen and stick with it.

I am still a long way from riches but I have earned a much more important thing and that is to feel part of a stong community with a vision of changing the world and it has also opened up a whole other creative outlet for me. My blog has become a very important part of what makes me me.

@ammonite is my main account. @ammonite.leo is my Lada fund
