Devonian Botanic Garden III
You'd say:
The third post from the tiny countryside botanic garden?
I say:
Why not?
Who's reading my posts anyway? I have the feeling steem is turning into a ghost town.
People quitting left and right; some of them well known.
Apologizing, looking for excuses, afraid to admit they came because of money.
I don't blame them. They're free to do whatever they want.
Not me, tho.
I came because of money.
Bring a lot of it to the platform, and also got a lot.
Money and knowledge. A lot of followers. Real and fake.
Learned English and Crypto.
Well, kind of.
But I'm stubborn as a donkey. You not gonna chase me away from the honey pot.
Fewer people, more worthless coins to collect.
I must admit that I almost succumb the temptation today and wanted to open EOS account.
Just in case.
I don't want to trade my steem for EOS. Am I stupid? Will see. Time will tell.
Mum's basement experts said that is good to diversify and not to put all eggs in one basket.
I sold 30K steem once and diversified in many coins and projects.
You guess it. They all gone. Mostly.
DYODD. I did and it didn't work.
I put my bet on one horse only and I'll stick with that. Right or wrong. It's my time and my money.
And you do what you want with yours. I don't care.
Another rant from a greedy oldtimer?
Nah!
Back to the topic now.
Enjoy my cacti from the arid part of Devonian Botanic Garden.
To all the quiters:
Do't expect my welcome when you'll crawl back with silly excusess.
The rest of you keep grinding.
It look so amazing and beautiful.
Best not to focus too much on those pulling up stakes. Though I have to admit feeling more of a kinship with those who continue to give their creativity and time to the steem ecosystem. There is a new tag going around. #humanizesteem is for those of us who want more interaction and eyes on the page. The next generation of steemians is rising and we kinda love the place. I appreciate that you choose to hold ground and break new terrain with us.
Your cacti were lovely and I do read your posts. Wishing you a lovely night.
That's the thing. People are scared to admit why they are really here. They shouldn't be, they should be proud. It's a glorious thing. I came here for the money and I got a lot. I got other things too but it was the money that drew me. Some people can't even say a simply thing like that
This.
You're one of the donkeys like me. With one difference of course.
You're a real and good author not just wannabe like me.
I follow and read most of your posts but my English is not good enough for proper comments under your posts.
Cheers man! I think your English is great. I read most of yours too and they are good, I remember I was always pulled in by your pics. We are donkeys trapped in the mine but maybe there is more gold to come, lol
I can feel your pain about ghost town. And I greet your stubborn nature. He who likes stay who doesn't don't. It's life.
as an old landscaper, i love the cactus a lot. specialy when the flowers are coming, which are rare
lol
Well i kind of diversify. 🙂
If steemians dont watch a video of mine i am posting it on youtube, twitter, Cent, facebook which makes it worth it either way. hehe
I diversify my focus.
Steem is ofc still my main source of internet attention. hehe.
Oh and nice cactuses. :D
I listened to your last song. Nice.
Thank you.
And dont let the negative things get you down. What i wanted to say is that we all need to find something worth it here.
Finding an audience here makes spending time on steem worth it for me and i dont think a lower price would change that. I post to youtube and i earn nothing there so earning a few dollars less when the price goes down doesnt change much for me.
I think we can all find something that makes us happy here alongside the ability to earn. :)
Exactly.
