I have never dabbed in crypto currency before and still haven't. The transactions on Steemit doesn't count as they stay on the platform which is the point I want to make here. I haven't invested a single penny into the platform, but neither have I taken a single penny away. Everything I earn here stays on the platform, gets converted to SP, upvotes and generates more SP. I have been doing that consistently since I joined Steemit in June and am very proud that my full 100% vote is worth around 0.22 now (ok, I know that's not a lot to some!). My aim is to continue to build up my SP and grow... grow .... grow together
