Done the Steemit beta test.. now should you invest?

in #community7 years ago

For those of you who have been here long enough to understand what Steemit is and why it is beneficial to humanity. You have enjoyed the beta, now I encourage you to buy Steem! Invest in this platform if you like it, and you believe in it. Invest 10$, invest 100$. Give yourself some voting power to spread around to the quality posts you see on the platform.

We can all sit and reap the benefits of other peoples faith in decentralized social media. We can get mad at the platform if some well invested person doesn't upvote our posts. We can question the conflicts that are happening between the well invested members of this community. We can be angry that the top posts are always about steemit, or they are always by the same authors.

If every minnow were to invest, to give their voice weight. These things would change. As soon as enough minnows invest to give their vote power, it will change. There are only 5113 accounts worth over 1000$. A big portion of even those are multiple accounts. The amount of people who have invested over 1000$ is probably quite a bit less.

We have 25,000-30,000 people posting everyday. So if the other 20,000+ people who posted everyday, would just believe and invest in Steem. The distribution could change significantly. We could see the top posts of the day become much more random. With a larger and more fair distribution. The large investors will have less of an effect on the ecosystem of Steem.

We do need to on-board more people onto steemit of course, to bring in new users. However, we need the users we do have to invest in the Steem blockchain if they really believe in it! We will have communities soon. Steemit is making progress. We will be out of Beta at some point in the future. The Steem blockchain has spread across multiple sites, and multiple phone applications, there are many sites built just to enhance your experience here. This community has created a way to upload videos onto the block chain. It is worth investing 10$ a paycheck, or throwing some tax returns into it! Make it a goal to get yourself to buy 1,000 Steem, and add that onto the Steem you have been awarded for your contributions!

In cryptocurrency we hear a lot about the community. Doge coin has a strong community I hear all the time. No cryptocurrency has built the community that Steem has. Steemit has so many layers built by different members and group of the community. I have 25 website that help me use Steemit and view the Steem blockchain in some different way, steemitchat, over 10 different discord channels. This community has put in so much blood, sweat, and tears into all of this.

I feel like the top members of this community are like the founding fathers. A common goal to decentralize social media. With a plethora of ideas of how best to enact it. Executing those ideas have seemed to caused bitterness between many of them. As long as that one vision remains clear. No matter the differences, we will get there. Remember the common goal. Invest in the dream become reality.

Stay safe, stay humble!

I will starting investing some Steem power.Upvoted and Resteemed :)

I would invest thousands but I don't want to buy it via an exchange. I don't want my money in a crypto exchange. Millions have been lost and millions more will lose their money that way. If I could buy steem some other way I would do it. Is there another way?

If you have Bitcoin yes. You can buy it from @blocktrades or @changelly. So you would just send your Bitcoin from coinbase or wherever it is to blocktrades website or Changelly website, and you give them you steem account. Once they receive the Bitcoin they immediately send you steem. They are both safe and good things to use if you don't want your coins on an exchange!

I have used blocktrades before so it is credible. This drpends on what platform you are buying your btc.

Full Steem Ahead!

I love the vision. As an active member I would love to see the people with voting power spread the love a bit more and push the high quality content to the people. Its hard for the people without much power to make a difference.

but if the 20000 people with less than 1000 steem had 1000 steem, that would be a lot of little amounts of power. Enough little amounts to move the tides maybe, hopefully

Absolutely. I have seen the difference it made when my vote went from 0 to 2 cents. Even if you have a lot of people voting with a few cents it would make a massive difference. The hard thing is getting enough people to vote for you and getting your power up those first few cents.

I don't see anything unfair about steemit.

Nor do I.

A small number with high SPs powered down when the steem' price went up to almost $3..still way more than half of the price now.

Nice post, I agree on investing on this great platform. Let me ask you something, since I'm new here and I'm trying to understand Steemit... what happens when you don't buy SP? your upvoting is not strong? your reputation won't go up? Is it possible to become known here without investing in some SP? thanks!

It is possible. But don't complain about whales if you don't invest. So when you don't buy so your upvote isn't worth that much. Someday if you make enough, it will be worth more

Thanks drpuff!

my ex wife gets all the money.. so enjoy my 100% vote for 5 cents! At least hard fork 19 gave me that much.
