Weekly Question: What's your Steem origin story?

This post is my submission to @sndbox weekly question series:

What's your Steem origin story?

(Source)

Last year's Bitcoin Bull Run sparked my interest in Crypto Currencies. At that time(up till now), crypto business was banned in my country. I had absolutely no way entry point, and frankly it was quite frustrating.

So I started googling, How to make crypto currency online free of cost???
On one lucky evening, I came across a YouTube video which talked about an amazing platform where you can make crypto currency by blogging. I paused the video and the very next moment I was typing in new tab...

https://steemit.com

I went to the sign up page...To my surprise after I applied for sign up, a message appeared telling me to wait at least 7 days till my account gets approved.
My first reaction was...
WTF
But after I surfed the platform for about 30 min, I was sitting with my mouth opened, WAO.

I waited patiently for 7 days for my account to get approved, in the mean time I read everything needed to know about Steem Ecosystem, The Community, Economics and Blockchain.

Finally on 06 Oct 2017, I became officially the part of Steem Blockchain and never turned back!!!

Too bad I can't remember or trace the video, but I guess I will be forever grateful to that particular video maker for introducing Steemit to me, and changing my life and opening my eye to the new horizons.
