Today's Thoughts about Steemit

in #steemit8 years ago

I read some comments today and I always laugh at these people that say that you need to pay to succeed on Steemit. What a joke.

Many various groups on Steemit you either have the hardcore skeptics or the other fanatic side that think Steemit will take over the world. I'm in the middle I don't like taking extreme view points.

I see the major issues with the circle jerk fanboy groups since it's not based in reality. First of all a lot of Steemit at the current moment is an echo chamber. It's still an early service and we are at least 3 years away from seeing mainstream start to look into it.

Normal people won't become bloggers but upvote and support content that they like that we will see. Since people love being patreons and support content that they love. But this is still a slow process. After you make it into a habit of rewarding people with real currency you don't want to go back to the old system where you couldn't do that since it's less powerful.

Clearly this system pays me more than if I would post stuff on a blog. So it's already a superior system that has massive value. Of course people already start to be greedy at this stage wanting to see if you can make a full time income after 3 months. It's delusional. But people raise their standards fast.

I burned 7000 dollars into Steemit by taking a bank loan in January since I saw the massive value and that this Blockchain technology is the future. I seen these trends in the past for example when online video starting to become a big thing. It takes a long time to make the mainstream start to pay attention.

This technology is here to stay therefore I invest into it. Who cares if 10 early projects fail that will only make you more experienced to spot winners in the future.

I burned over $100K investing in phones for my YouTube channel and this is just regular numbers in business. And there you do not get your money back fast.

Why I mainly invest in Steemit because I see the power in be able to give people money fast and easy. That is legit power. Power is not for everyone its too intense for majority. Life works as a pyramid majority is at the bottom. Even though it's not that bad be at the bottom these days because abundance is spreading to everyone.

We need more writers in the modern age of higher quality. Too many that are in video and photo industry. Too little quality writers. Writings as we have seen with The Bible is highly powerful.

And people being able to read and share ideas super fast this is a new thing that hasn't existed for that many hundreds of years. If we take a look at what video and photo really is can we say that it's more manipulation than writing since it tries to paint more how things should be?

While writing does seem to leave more up to imagination. Peole say image tells more than text but does it really? Sharing ideas in writing you can explain stuff in higher detail. Doesn't it create more responsibility on the reader?

Imperfection creates perfection its a very fascinating thing. Throwing yourself out there and just let go of that need of trying to control everything. Creates a more organic feel. All my videos I have done on YouTube has been all let go. Never planned any of them. Same way I run my Instagram. Never planned a single post. That means I can record anything anything and have people watch it because of the let go effect that creates the magic effect!

Today's book recommendation. One of my favourite Europeans Goethe. Also one of my favourite books. It's so amazing that you can't even explain it.
