The day I tried to join was when there was a freeze on new account and I had to enter my email to be notified when Steemit would be "open" again. I was CRUSHED because I thought I missed on the opportunity. It took about 3 days of steadily checking to see if I could get in before I had an active account, but in the meantime I read the whitepapers and needed to be a part of this. It was a stressful couple of days waiting for admittance. LOL

That is a GREAT story. Thank you for sharing it. :)
