2 years on Steem | Feels more like 5

Even though @steemitboard commented it didn't register. I had to go through my (lovely!) comments on my website launch post from yesterday (check it out if you missed it, I'm so proud!) to notice a comment @arcange left - today is my 2 year anniversary on Steem!

Last year I was very aware of my 'birthday', did some blockchain research, and wrote a lovely post about it. This year? It was just another day on Steem as it's such an integrated part of my life now - I don't think about it as a new thing anymore, something I keep dates of, it really doesn't even register anymore there was 'a time that Steem didn't exist'.

I talked shortly about Steem today. I went to a crowdfunding meeting, to see how I can use that particular platform to fund some social/art projects. A guy in the meeting asked the person on stage 'if they accepted crypto'. She had no answer (but immediately send a message to colleagues to get an answer anyway, so at least the fact there's interest for that is now on their register :D).

I told him about Steem, and he knew about the name, just not that there are maybe some funding opportunities as well.

It was so casual, it's just something I breathe, if there's an opportunity I will mention Steem, and I don't even talk about bear markets and prices anymore. Just functionality and community, and possibilities. And only to those who want to listen :-)

Anyway, before this post I was planning to log off and chill - instead I'm writing a short anniversary message.

My 1-year anniversary post counts 74 comments - Don't disappoint me guys!


PS: The price of STEEM is up. Must be because you're all buying to celebrate my 2-year anniversary, right?

Congrats on your 2 years. And yes it does feel like just part of your daily life now. I’m almost at two years myself and haven’t ever missed a day. Well except when hardfork shut me down.

Thanks @silverd510! You're a true Steemian being here every day - I've been more casual the last year for sure, but even if I don't post I am here anyway :D Or chatting in Discord, lol. Cheers!

Hahaha - we ARE the survivors! :D I believe we need a badge before the next bull-run that says 'True Steemian' or something similar ;-)))

And YES, let's go for that third one! Cheers!

That indeed would be a great badge :)
The survivors. Maybe also an idea for a hive community :)
Only peeps allowed with an account older than 2 years.

Ha! That would be a cool Hive Community. Account older than 2 years AND at least [XX] posts in 2018/19 or something, as that's the key right? The people who stayed active through the shitty years ;-)

Hey, soyrosa.

Happy STEEM anniversary. :)

I've been sitting here thinking that I should do a post when it comes time next week. I'm not sure if it's not so new anymore, though it is much more a part of what I want to do, as you mentioned. However, I do look forward to making it to the two-year point, and since it coincides with the end of the year, it just seems fitting to make it some kind of retrospective.

I think, though, that you're farther along in your STEEM integration than I am. You're living it more actively than I am or probably can at the moment. So, it all feeling familiar and less of a deal, I think, are all good things.

Congratulations for making it this far. Here's to many more years to come! :)
