RE: Ask Steemit: How did you first hear about Steem? And tell us the story behind your Steem username

in #asksteenit7 years ago

Ah nice. Yeah I think I read quite a few stories of people accidentally joining Steem after initially intending to trade it.
That's a good question re my username. I think I might right a post about it to explain my username as people often confuse me for nextgencrypto or Bernie when I join new chat rooms. In short, I was trading stocks at the time and there was a new tech company that got RTO’ed called Nextgen something. So when I was browsing Steemit for the first time I saw many futuristic sounding usernames and so went with my current name. I never thought I would still be here after two years. If I knew, I would have put more thought into the name.
