My first week on steemit and how I got into crypto

Two weeks ago I finally decided to join Steemit. It then took almost a week to get my login verified and now I am here writing this.

I really got into crypto at the end of last year during that incredible bull run. Back then I started to earn my first coins using faucets. Many of them sucked, but I ended up finding coinpot and it's faucets which have been great ever since I found them.
We are still in that bull run and I started to do some calculations. I developed a program which analyzed my faucet earning und showed a prediction of it. And as it turns out I'm going to be a millionaire in just two Years if that growth is steady(I had 6% daily growth) and it was such an amazing feeling.

However then this happened...

As it turns out I'm not going to be a millionaire any time soon, I just was extremely naive. But now I think that this actually was a good thing, It really opened my eyes and let me see the true nature of crypto. It's not about getting a lot of money anymore(not mainly at least) but instead, it's about the technology and its huge potential.

During that time I researched many things, which broadened my mind tremendously. I now see crypto as the future of humankind and cryptocurrencies as a mean of transferring value is just the beginning. It can be much many more as you can already see from steemit. People are able to make a living off creating content without any middleman, which I think is just amazing. But it doesn't end there, there are hundreds of projects out there that try to make our lives better. And that's what I love about crypto, there are all those amazing projects.

During the huge correction(or however you want to call it) I bought some coins with actual fiat taking a step away from the faucets towards my real entry into the crypto world. Additionally, I also started trading some coins a bit with some success but that's something I don't want to talk about yet.

Instead, I'd now like to tell you a few things about myself. I'm currently a student, I'm studying computer science and work part-time as an Android Developer(but I also do Web stuff and other things...If you are interested, let me know). As you may have already guessed I developed a love for crypto which also became an important part of my life. And besides that, I also have somewhat of a passion for photography(although I'm not that good at it), which actually led me to steemit in the first place.

I found this app called Steepshot, which is a photo-sharing app, kind of like Instagram but for steem and it made me curious as it promised me to earn a few bucks while sharing my amateur photography with the world. Additionally, I already knew steemit from reading some articles and already thought about signing up, because of this awesome community.

And this lets me come back to today, where I am writing this article. I shared a photo of my collection every day for the last week(feel free to check it out). I got some feedback and finally really into the steem community although there are a lot of things that still confuse me(like Steem Power for example). I think I'm here to stay, but in order to be able to do so I need your help, I need your feedback, without I would grasp at nothing.

So please like, share, comment, so I can improve on myself. Thank you so much for reading this, I really appreciate it.
