I joined Steem about 2 years ago have yet to learn what happened before that. Thank you for this short interview for me to have a glimpse of what happened.

I knew about bitshares being the predecessor of STEEM and that reddit inspired the structure that Steemit has now (I read it from the whitepaper), but beyond that, I have zero knowledge.

With this interview, I think I grew that knowledge by 10% (because I know there are other information and details that cannot be immediately shared in an interview).
