Blogging has always looked like fun to me and I thought I would try it at some stage. But, you know, life happens and it appeared to be a pipedream that would always be out of reach. Cryptocurrency also fascinated me and I felt left out of a whole new world that was happening all around me. Friends introduced me to __Steemit__ and suddenly I was not on the outside anymore. I was a blogger! A blogger that could possibly get paid! In a cryptocurrency!

No matter that the cryptocurrency's name sounded like a character from a children's comic book or a low budget porn movie. I was in.

Everything was new and the learning curve seemed endless. My biggest challenge was getting noticed among thousands of others also trying to get noticed. Everyone seemed to be blogging about cryptocurrency. I loved reading this as I knew nothing about it. But I was a million years away from blogging about it. Unless I could create a blog asking a lot of questions about a topic...

### Enter Kryptonia

Kryptonia is built on Superior Coin, a currency for ideas, services and collaboration. The premise is simple. People pay you Superior Coin to complete tasks online. Tasks like: Read my blog and share it on your Facebook profile. Or: Like and re-tweet this tweet of mine. Or: Like this post on Facebook and share it on your profile.

And you can pay them Superior Coin to do tasks for you similar to the above. I have a favourite task that I pay people for: __Upvote and comment on my post by answering the question in the post.__

It is awesome! I get noticed! People comment. People from all over the world. And I get to have conversations with them. 
They may have read my post anyway. And they may have had a response or an opinion. But not knowing me, they may have neglected to post something. 
Now they comment. To get the 10 Superior Coin I promised them, yes. But they post. And I respond. As a result, conversation happens. And I have fun!

##### The number of comments on my posts has increased from less than 10 to more than 40. Awesome!


__*This is why I love Kryptonia.*__ Steemit gave me an opportunity to start blogging in a community that would respond to my work and help me get better at it. Kryptonia is giving me a carrot to draw people to my posts and see their responses. As a result, I'm not only drawing like-minded people. _How boring would that be?_ I get to interact with a diversity of people. Everyone is extremely polite but I get to follow their posts too and learn from a person with an opposing opinion.

### However...
Yes, there is an however. Kryptonia makes it very easy to cheat. __And people do cheat!!__ I do not understand it. The tasks are easy. And part and parcel of the very reason we all are doing this. Why cheat?!?

Luckily, Kryptonia also makes it very easy to revoke the Superior Coin someone took from you without doing the task. You just need to monitor it.

I recently got some good advice from @fitinfun in her post [How and Why I use Kryptonia Review after One Month](https://steemit.com/kryptonia/@fitinfun/how-and-why-i-use-kryptonia-review-after-one-month). Read it. It will help you to use Kryptonia more effectively. I now limit the number of people I allow to complete each task. As a result, I can now post new tasks often and pay more per person. It is also easier to know who took Superior Coin without doing the task.

If you want to join me on my Kryptonia journey, please use this [link](https://kryptonia.io/?ref=JVNX8Z56ZK). I will earn a little bit of Supercoin if you do. This will enable me to get more people to my Steemit posts.

All of these things will evolve and it will happen rather fast. It has been a fun journey thus far and I'm sure there is more fun to be had.

Are you on Kryptonia? Do you have any advice for us?
