Hello Steem!!
I am new here, hope this is the right community to post to as I wasn't sure. If not I apologize!
Wanted to do a short introduction, I am a cryptocurrency enthusiast and have been for a while now. Been meaning to delve deeper into the lower coinmarketcap ranks but there's just so much out there it is really overwhelming! By chance I happened to read a tweet from Justin Sun about their recent acquisition and figured I'd check it out so here I am now and I have to say I am VERY SURPRISED by this platform. It seems way ahead of the others in terms of usage, activity and even the technical aspect of it seems very advanced even though I am not a developer. Color me impressed!
Other than cryptocurrencies I like to read books, browse Reddit and quite possible now also read and upvote on Steemit!
Really enjoying the first experience and looking forward to learn more about this blockchain and the community. :-)
Any suggestions what dapps I should look at first?
Hope to see you around!
Ahh, I missed this one as was checking on your blog to see if you'd written a post.
This is new to us also, but if you post into a community (OCD is a good start!) then the post doesn't appear in your 'own' feed, where I was looking.
You can 'Resteem' it to there though with
In hindsight, I could have checked your 'Posts' - still learning the new interfaces changes!
As far as your question on dapps, there's a decent starting point here and not just for Steem.

I play steemmonsters, occasionally post to actifit, but am really hoping that SMT light a fuse of new apps and ideas. They will hopefully be coming in a few months time.
Welcome :)
Welcome, hope you will have a great time and experience here on steemit. Steampeak is worth checking out 👍

If you’re a gamer, you’ll want to check out Splinterlands (formerly SteemMonsters). Steemit.com is actually a dapp, but many here prefer the SteamPeak front end. eSteem is a dapp for mobile devices, Actifit for fitness, and there are several hundred altogether. Maybe a dozen or so major dapps with a bunch more for niches.
By the way, you don’t need to do all of your upvotes at 100%. You’ve got a slider bar where you can specify 17% or whatever. Your voting strength will dissipate if you do too many 100% upvotes. But your voting power regenerates by 20% per day.
Thank you for the advice, will take a look! :-)
Yes, will be trying to adjust my upvoting once I find more time to STEEM! Have been following the block explorer steemd as well, very interesting stuff, currently making my way through the Blue Paper!
You can also take a look at steemworld.org. It's a all-in-one tool practically.
Hello @darthknight. So great to have you here. Glad to see you're also making use of the beta site. Cheers to that!!!!
Oh, there is a beta site? I'm just using Steemit! :-)
@darthknight, I would highly recommend you use SteemPeak for your blogging on the Steem blockchain. Far and away the best UI ...
Hi there
I've been reading through many comments related to new hive chain and I've seen your comment too. Many users are being torn, however majority seem to be moving to new hive.
Are you fully moving there or will you stay on both chains? Just curious. I'm trying to figure out what to do myself.
While my primary focus has shifted to Hive @creativeblue, I am also still fully powered up here. I just won't be as active. I was seriously time-constrained before, so trying to now keep up on two different blockchains is not possible.
What are your thoughts?
P.S. FYI, this morning upon logging in, I found that Hive was almost double the price of Steem. No guarantees, of course, as you are likely well aware, crypto assets are highly volatile. But, still ... Thought that might be of interest.
Never mind on the P.S. above @creativeblue. Getting on with my evening and checking pricing, I see HIVE dropped by almost a third since this morning. What was I saying about volatility ...😏
yeah, that was huge pump and dump :)
Big Thx for your reply. I think i will stick around on both chains for time being.
I also figured that you may find this post interesting and worth your time:

It's post published by good friend of mine and I'm helping him to promote their curation trail.
Welcome to Steem @darthknight, its great to have you on board. You're certainly at the right place starting off with the OCD community. You'll find a whole bunch of interesting people here who are determined to grow Steem and make it as enjoyable as possible for people especially for new joiners.
We have a Discord channel where a lot of the chit chat happens and its helps to find your way around Steem.

Thank you for the welcome and invite but I don't use Discord, maybe in the future. :-)
I really hope the powers that be can sort this mess out but it's great to see someone showing faith and taking a sizeable punt!
Welcome man, awesome timing on your steem investment. Now you also see how the community can come together when they need to. Congratulations on making the right move. If I had the means I’d keep buying up as much steem as I can to power up.
Welcome to steem. Glad you are impressed with the platform. You will enjoy your while here.
