4 days on Steemit and this Community is awesome.

in #steemit6 years ago

I have all your typical social network accounts, the tubes, fbooks, igrams, twttrs, etc. I played by the rules and got friends and made post etc and can hear the wind blowing in all of them. One of them I only use just to keep track and socialize with family now. I find myself snoozing most of the family, because, well I can. It would be awkward to unfriend them with family reunions every year.

I have been on Steemit for 4 days now and I have more interactions on my post than all my other accounts combined. To some of you if you look at my post you will see very few comments and probably laugh. That is fair since some of you have thousands of comments. I do not see just a few comments or up votes I see my future here on Steemit. We all started somewhere right?

Honestly I still do not understand fully how steemit works but I have now have accrued many hours of watching videos about steemit. When I first signed up for steemit it was about the payouts and making a better future for myself. When bitcoin first came I bought about 200 bitcoin. I held onto it for about 2 months and then someone told me I was stupid about that small investment. I got worried about that because money was tight at the time.

I got rid of my bitcoin, paid a bill and bought beer. Little did I know that 200 bitcoin would be worth $1,234,998.00 today. I do not cry or slap myself about that because we learn our lessons the hard way. If Steem grows like that in a few years I will not be that guy again.

As of writing this post I have 7 written post and 8 dtube post in my feed. I have been on Steemit for 4 days and I have become addicted. I have to refrain from posting every hour, even though the voices in my head want to say more. :) Some videos I have watched advise not posting many times a day so I am trying to keep it at a minimum. The more comments I get and the more people like my post it just feeds the fire of wanting to post more.

The ability to make money on my post is great. The thought that Steem could be the next bitcoin is great. "But" the interactions and comments on my post so far have been awesome. That is why my first 4 days on Steemit has been a blast. If this is what it is like in 4 days, what is it going to be like in a year as my circle grows. I am glad I found this platform and I hope I make all you guys and gals proud.

Good night for now.

Just checked you blog, wallet and followed. This is not financial advice but right now you can turn $200 USD into 200 steem so go get 200 and get powered up or you soon may have some regrets.

The paradigm is shifting

Why do I say this? Because Just Like You, a bunch of people are starting to look up and wonder about the crap around them and look for something REAL. Even if it's still virtual..

It may be virtual but so is bitcoin really. If I had not listened to people back then I would have over a million dollars in my bank. So this go around I am doing it the steemit way and following all of you guys.

Welcome, and I agree, steem and the community that is made possible because of it, do currently have and will have even more amazing opportunities. This is truly the beginning of something new.

It is amazing and so are the people so far. I am sure there are a few bad apples but I have not found them yet.
