I joined Steemit.com on May 25th, 2017. I joined because one of my favorite YouTubers @mericanhomestead got kicked off for showing a cow stunned for slaughter on YT. He was looking for a video hosting service that could not be censored. In the meantime he heard about steemit.com and joined explaining how it works. I joined and "took the bull by the horns" and began posting.

This is Zac explaining steemit back in the day.
So here I am five years later, still posting (almost) every day. I don't post on steemit much any more as the real steemit is now HIVE.
But these five years have been fun and I look forward to another 5 Years.
Happy Hivaversary, Benjamin. That is quite an accomplishment.
I of course found this post on #ListNerds!

Thank you! And thank you for participating in List Nerds!

Happy Hive birthday. We have similar registration dates. I registered on the Steem/Hive blockchain on 2017.05.17.
I found the Steem/Hive blockchain on that day by searching for something GPU and/or cryptocurrency mining related thing, and I clicked on a post, which was on Steemit.
I currently do not remember the author, nor the post.
Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.
Amazing stories on how we ended up here. It's those who stuck around though thick and thin are the diehards! I always appreciate your comments, thank you!

No one gives a shit, you repeat it like it actually matters. It's not like it is even your outpost, ironshield funded the money as you were too broke to pay for it (despite claiming to be the #1 crypto expert in the world.
I didn't nuke your account to negative rep, I just removed rewards.
Nope. My impact on your rep was minor
Believe what you want.
