First off, you have my sincere thanks for your time and consideration with this generous gesture.

This not only helps me, but it'll enlighten plenty of others who are striving for the same. With my luck here, I should start rolling on Magic Dice.

I chose to ask you about this because you're approachable, authentic, and self-made. Your knowledge comes from first-hand experience and you clearly strive to share it with others instead of keeping it for yourself. You don't need to, but you stay in the trenches. You just reinforced all of this in spades.

I felt like I was in another dimension watching this. I appreciate the respect you showed with your understanding, tone and overall message. You logically talked through your risks, and some sensitive and personal points with complete transparency, while offering helpful constructive advice. It all made perfect sense.

As for me, I come from the stubborn school of trying to earn all of my Steem, versus using fiat or my core crypto holdings to attain it. It's been a personal choice I've stuck with from early on and it's delayed my development substantially. That's the angle I come from, always feeling like I'm playing from behind in the game (self-inflicted). I appreciate the risk you took by putting a substantial amount of your capital into this blockchain, where my risk is essentially 0. That really clicked for me.

You didn't have to do any of this, but you did, and it means a lot. 99% of the 1% out there wouldn't do this. You see the bigger picture.

I also can't believe your Mother is also a percussionist and will definitely support her passion there since it's great to be heard. I can also potentially learn some skills from her, which is nice.

Thanks again,
Matt

After watching the video, came to look for your comment!

Agree with everything you said, except the Magic Dice bit. Steem is too precious to gamble away. ;)

I really appreciate how pragmatic certain players on the chain are, and it is good to see this raw, honest, and introspective stuff going on!

Well, that really took me by surprise! Not because I didn't take you seriously, but, you are truly a much kinder, gentler soul than I realized.

I like the very humanitarian attitude toward wanting to help others grow, not by lining their pockets, although I have been rewarded with a kick butt upvote from you on a comment - but, by leading by example. Telling them how and why and where... all these points that you gave were valid, valuable pieces of easily understood information. There is nothing worse than to try to read some of the crypto articles and walk away more confused than when you started.

Laying it out for the less than educated on all things steem is helpful. I can guarantee that you helped a lot of people already. And I can see you being the benevolent guy when the time comes. If you succeed, and I succeed, we all get a share of the pie. So why shouldn't everybody be trying to help one another instead of working against each other?

Thank you for the thoughts, words and the effort put into putting this all together.

I hardly ever comment on dtube videos but I really enjoyed your perspective. The commentary on staying in your financial lane is the sorta brutal honesty one needs to keep perspective on how to actually get there and build a following of like-minded people to vote with. I've definitely found it in the @dsound community, though I've maybe invested past many of my fellow musicians. Best some of us can hope for is that a 10k investment will matter enough to be relevant during the next bull run.

:D This made my day. I've never watched your content (or your wallet for that matter :')) since on first glance looking at your profile we seem to have nothing in common. But the beauty of this blockchain is that we are all so different yet are playing the same 'game' in a way - I mean, even though we are different, it's pretty damn spectacular we are in that super minority that is called 'crypto enthusiasts' or more specifically 'Steem bulls' - right?

Really loved watching your video, which again, was the first time I saw anything from you, and I loved your passion, your rational reasoning, and the very kind-hearted look you got over you :-)

I personally am excited for you and the fact you are achieving your goals. I'm pretty damn proud of my own (almost) 8000 Steem Power, and my personal fiat investments recently - and how much I'd want to be 'on a higher level' I'm quite certain even my 8000 SP will be significant in the future when I'm sharing it with other players.

Thanks, this was inspirational, and keep up your game - this is what decentralization is about, all being able to make our own decisions even though others might not like 'em that much :-)

Cheers!

This is probably just like anything else in the world a result of commitment and consistent work. Kudos to people who do not give up.

Hey @broncnutz! I loved watching the video and how you explained the bits to grow SP. In a year I've almost reached 10K sp and am really happy about it.
Always powering up has been a great opportunity for me, even if I see that your point about voting the one on the same "level" is a big hold for steem.
Let's hope the green keeps the steem up and the morale up!
