Comprehensive analysis of the five main pitfalls of Blockchain technology @BlockRush

^{By @blockrush}

Wow @blockrush why haven’t I seen your content before? You explained in such an easy way the major problems with blockchain technology.

With all of us on Steemit knowing this information is crucial for the long-term success of each individual Steemian and the entire community as a whole.

A comprehensive article like yours, which brings all the information together in one place and keeps the flow nice and easy to read, is a tell tale sign that this post is incredible.

Hopefully this post will trigger more posts about this issue because yours has the best explanation I have seen about the downfalls and shortcomings of blockchain technology.

It may be a sore subject for many, but you did an excellent job. Thanks again I learned a lot from your post.

Always keep your goals in sight

^{By @raikuhen}

I absolutely love this post for so many reasons.

First, goals are so important to success and you teach us one aspect, clarity of goals, that is sometimes forgotten about but is so important. Teaching us useful information is one aspect of an epic post

Second, you shared real, tangible goals from your own life from Pintrest activities to creating a website and the intimate details from those experiences.

Life experiences help us learn and apply the information you are sharing in our own lives. This helps people survive the learning process.

Third, the post just flows. It is so easy to read and you keep the reader involved actively by switching it up with useful tips and then right back into storytelling. This is such an art of writing and wow are you an artist.

this is one inspirational post and it has so much real, tangible value in it Steemians can apply in their own lives.

It is hard to make change in one’s life and like you said you need to strike a balance in order for success.

Ideal balance of your life experiences mixed with inspiration with little knowledge nuggets Steemians can actually apply in their lives to make a real, positive change in their lives.

This article is an ideal display of balance.

The time we lose in complaint

^{By @kalinka}

There's so much useful information about complaining and the negative side effects associated with it in this post @kalinka.

And you did it in all eight (8) short and sweet paragraphs.

Effective and efficient writing is so hard, especially with life topics such as complaining and the time and energy wasted doing it, and holy smokes did you did an epic job.

Complaining is a major problem in society and in relationships so the fact that you exposed it and shared so much useful information it elevated this post to another level in my opinion.

Thanks again for this amazing post. No more complaining ;)
