MY STEEM STORY
A Power House Creatives Initiative
Everyone has a story – and all our stories have something in common… we all started from nothing and knew nothing. People want to hear stories. They want to hear OUR stories — they want to know who we are, where we are from, what we are doing, who and what we love, what we have learnt and where we are going. People also want us to hear their story! Being a part of the Steem network is an individual journey for every single one of us and through this initiative we will share our stories not only with all who are already here – hopefully inspiring, guiding and informing them… but doing the same for everyone else in the world too. Through our stories we will prick the curiosity of those who have not yet arrived and illuminate and widen the already open doors to our one in a million blockchain.
We invite and encourage each and every one of you to participate and share your stories too! You can find the "how to" details at the end of this post.

***
## My adventure on Steem started a little less than a year ago, today it is exactly 352 days that I arrived on Steem. I discovered Steem after purchasing and taking a course on cryptocurrencies. The course was focused on profit and consequently my first posts were all Actifit reports and posts on DrugWars: posts that were simple to write and that required little effort. Then over time things changed and my approach to Steem changed.
My consideration on Steem changed when I discovered with pleasure that on Steem the prevailing hatred and widespread in other traditional and "centralized" social networks is almost totally absent.
I read with pleasure beautiful poems, I was moved by reading poignant posts, I learned new notions by reading useful guides and tutorials.
My initial challenges & how I overcame them
At the beginning it was quite hard, I remember my first "serious" post in which I had worked hard in writing. Between markdown and writing it took me about three hours to complete the post: a review on the film Dumbo.
Result? I had 5 upvotes and 0.00 rewards.
I was a little demoralized but I didn't lose heart.
So I read many guides, I read many posts and I commented on many posts, I followed groups and communities and things have gradually grown. In almost a year of Steem I have written 449 posts, on average more than one a day, and now I am happy to have built relationships and friendships, even if virtual, solid and constructive with fantastic people.
My Steem blockchain knowledge
At the beginning I had a fairly "nuanced" knowledge of the meaning of blockchain.
In addition to the famous Bitcoin I didn't know much.
Today I know many things and I understand the philosophy and the principle of freedom that governs the blockchain: the greatest IT revolution in recent years.
The blockchain is the peaceful and ingenious rebellion against the selfish principle of concentration of power typical of "centralized" realities around the world.
Token, SMT, Vests, SteemPower, STEEM, json ... I have learned many things and many terms in this year of Steem but I am only at the beginning and I still have a lot to learn.***
My Steem favorites
I have many interests and the topics of my posts are varied: family, life, photography, travel, feelings, food, movies, games.
I also like to write small tutorials to help people understand the mechanisms of Steem-engine and the various tokens and some Dapps and Front ends.
I like to read the posts of the authors I follow: stories, novels, life experiences, poems, tutorials on technology topics ...
I mainly use two front ends that I feel very comfortable with: eSteem and Steempeak
My golden nugget advice
My advice for anyone new to Steem is to interact with people as much as possible.
I prefer to receive a nice comment of appreciation to my post than a generous upvote.
At least the same amount of time you spend writing, spend it reading and commenting on the posts that you like or that are useful to you or that make you excited.
My Steem hood & its peeps
The first community in which I took part and to which I owe a lot is @steempostitalia. I have received a lot of advice and I have received a lot of support.
Shortly after I joined Steem I met a great Steem promoter: @fedesox An expert and lover of everything related to blockchains even if his heart really beats only for Steem. @fedesox supported me from the beginning and I owe a lot to him too. He has just created his own "Whale Oil" community.
The communities and discord groups that I frequent are as many as my interests. I enjoy playing @splinterlands and I love to participate in contests and I also like writing posts / tutorials to help new players. I like good food and therefore I love writing restaurant reviews on @tasteem. I like to share my steps and physical activity on @actifit I occasionally post photos using @appics I follow the beautiful @qurator community and take part in the contests with pleasure. I follow many other beautiful and stimulating communities: @travelfeed @ocd @ triple.aaa @ discovery-it @ntopaz @steemleo @neoxian @creativecoin
I follow many people here on Steem and every day I meet new and fantastic people.
This is my first post that I write for the Powerhousecreative community and I am happy to have participated because this contest gave me the opportunity to interact and get to know a new and beautiful community that I didn't know before.
The people I invite are just some of the people I follow and they are the people I think can enjoy taking part in this beautiful contest: @mad-runner @robibasa @elikast @tinamarr @claudio83 @vittoriozuccala @stefano.massari @teo93 @blumela @garlet @poliwalt10
Obviously the invitation to participate is extended to all and the instructions can be found at the end of the post :)
My Steem Story - BY @libertycrypto27 (ITA)

## La mia avventura su Steem è iniziata poco meno di un anno fa, ad oggi sono esattamente 352 giorni che sono approdato su Steem. Ho conosciuto Steem dopo aver acquistato e seguito un corso sulle cryptomonete. Il corso era improntato molto sul profitto e di conseguenza i miei primi post sono stati tutti report di Actifit e post su DrugWars: post semplici da scrivere e che richiedevano poco impegno. Poi con il passare del tempo le cose sono cambiate ed è cambiato il mio approccio a Steem.
Ho scoperto con piacere che su Steem l'odio imperante e diffuso negli altri social network tradizionali e "centralizzati" è quasi totalmente assente. Ho letto con piacere poesie bellissime, mi sono commosso leggendo post struggenti, ho imparato nuove nozioni leggendo utili guide e tutorial. Con il passare del tempo mi sono completamente innamorato di Steem.
Le mie sfide iniziali e come le ho superate
All'inizio è stata abbastanza dura, ricordo il mio primo post "serio" in cui mi ero impegnato molto nella scrittura. Tra markdown e scrittura ho impiegato circa tre ore per completare il post: una recensione sul film Dumbo.
Risultato? Ho avuto 5 upvote e 0.00 di rewards.
Poi ho incominciato a documentarmi, ho letto tante guide, ho letto tanti post e ho commentato tanti post, ho seguito gruppi e comunità e le cose sono andate via via crescendo. In quasi un anno di Steem ho scritto 449 post, in media più di uno al giorno, e adesso sono felice di aver costruito, anche se virtuali, relazioni e amicizie solide e costruttive.
La mia conoscenza della blockchain di Steem
All'inizio avevo una conoscenza abbastanza "sfumata" del significato di blockchain. Oggi conosco tante cose e ho capito la filosofia e il principio di libertà che governa la blockchain: la più grande rivoluzione informatica degli ultimi anni. La blockchain è la ribellione pacifica e ingegnosa all'egoistico principio di concentrazione del potere tipico delle realtà "centralizzate" di tutto il mondo. Token, SMT, Vests, SteemPower, STEEM, json...ho imparato tante cose e tanti termini in quest'anno di Steem ma sono solo all'inizio e ho ancora tanto da imparare.
I miei preferiti di Steem
Ho tanti interessi e gli argomenti dei miei post sono vari: famiglia, vita, fotografia, viaggi, sentimenti, cibo, film, giochi. Mi piace anche scrivere dei piccoli tutorial per aiutare le persone a capire i meccanismi di Steem-engine e i vari token e di alcune Dapp e Front ends.
Mi piace leggere i post degli autori che seguo: racconti, romanzi, esperienze di vita, poesie, tutorial su argomenti di tecnologia...
Uso principalmente due front ends con cui mi trovo molto bene: eSteem e Steempeak
Il mio consiglo migliore
Il mio consiglio per chi è nuovo su Steem è di interagire con le persone il più possibile.
Io preferisco ricevere un bel commento di apprezzamento ad un mio post che un generoso upvote. Passa lo stesso tempo che impieghi a scrivere a leggere e commentare i post che ti piacciono o che ti sono utili o che ti fanno emozionare.
Le mie Comunità e le Persone che seguo
La prima comunità a cui ho preso parte e a cui devo molto è @steempostitalia. Ho ricevuto tanti consigli e ho ricevuto e ricevo tanto supporto. Poco dopo il mio ingresso in Steem ho conosciuto un grande promotore di Steem: @fedesox Ha appena creato una sua comunità "Olio di Balena". Un esperto e amante di tutto quello che riguarda le blockchains anche se il suo cuore batte veramente solo per Steem. @fedesox mi ha supportato fin dall'inizio e devo molto anche a lui.
Le comunità e i gruppi discord che frequento sono molti come i miei interessi. Mi diverto a giocare a @splinterlands e mi piace partecipare ai contest e mi piace anche scrivere post/tutorial per aiutare i nuovi giocatori. Mi piace il buon cibo e di conseguenza mi piace scrivere recensioni di ristoranti su @tasteem . Mi piace condividere i miei passi e la mia attività fisica su @actifit Ogni tanto posto foto utilizzando @appics Seguo la bella comunità di @qurator e partecipo con piacere ai contest. Seguo tante altre belle e stimolanti comunità: @travelfeed @ocd @triple.aaa @discovery-it @ntopaz @steemleo @neoxian @creativecoin
Seguo tante persone qui su Steem e ogni giorno conosco persone nuove e fantastiche.
Questo è il mio primo post che scrivo per la comunità di Powerhousecreative e sono contento di aver partecipato perchè questo contest mi ha dato l'occasione di interagire e iniziare a conoscere una nuova e bella comunità che non conoscevo prima di adesso.
Le persone che invito sono solo alcune delle persone che seguo e che penso possano avere piacere a partecipare a questo bellissimo contest: @mad-runner @robibasa @elikast @tinamarr @claudio83 @vittoriozuccala @stefano.massari @teo93 @blumela @garlet @poliwalt10
