I started Steemit because of the ability to write posts and share the thoughts I had but also to share my story of building a homestead. I started Steemit on May 2017, I moved to this platform because the ability it gave me to make some money to help support the efforts of building our homestead and the things we need on our homestead. It gives me the opportunity to maybe help someone start a garden or show them how to grow food on their porch or wherever they have some room. It is about rewarding each other for maybe helping or teaching each other about something they did not know or helping them grow as a person. Being able to support other homestead and veteran channels is a great thing to me.
