RE: FREEDOM
Spoken like a true American @tornadoman! At the very least I believe that freedom is something that is sacrificed for… But what if the sacrifices out weigh the freedoms gained? What then? I think people are beginning to question what is and isn’t worth fighting for.
I hope that we do not have to resort to revolutions and violence to effect change. Although I believe we are in the middle of a currency war right now... This is how wars are mainly waged today. Economically.
I think that's another reason why Bitcoin has become what it is today. I was watching it when it was $10 a Bitcoin... I didn't see Bitcoin going to the prices it has gone to at the time... But here we are! To me this indicates that the new generation is very interested in money and the freedom of options it gives. They have also woken up to the fact that money's current structure is being used to take away their freedoms.
And the question has to be asked… Is Bitcoin priced the way it is because they have turned the dollar into trash… or is it because Bitcoin is actually the new money. Personally… I think that we have a little bit of all of the above.
I missed opportunity to get into the cryptocurrency world in time when it was cheap.
And I do regret about it :-)
How about you? Have you bought it at the right time or not?
Hi @lanmis! I just thought I would drop by to say, "Hi!" to a good friend! Sorry I have been absent from this page over the last couple months! I came across the @Actifit project and because I am in the habit of asking myself, "Why not now?" I decided to open up my @BeachReady and @AdventureReady as well @Wil.Metcalfe (my certified personal trainer handle) blogs! Come and join me over there brother! Most of my posts are health and fitness related but rest assured... My efforts here on the @NewPioneer blog are just beginning... I still have plans and content I will be posting here! Lots of exciting stuff actually! For example: I went fishing/canoeing this fall and took my gopro with me! That's just one of the things I plan on posting here!
So yeah! I thought I owed you an explanation as to my sudden disappearance from my @NewPioneer blogging. I'm still alive and well! :D
In answer to your question... I missed BTC at $10/$400/$2000/$5000 but I managed to ride it up from there until about $17,000. That's when I decided to, rather than ride the roller coaster up and down for thrills, get out and I ended up sinking a sizable portion of my portfolio here into SteemIt! It's been a fun and fairly healthy endeavor here as we wait out the crypto winter season!
I think I have learned from missing out on the lower Bitcoin prices... But only time will tell if that is actually true! :D
Hope I see you over on my other blogs brother! You have been missed! :)
I'm really glad to hear that you accepted new challenge. Hope you get awesome results with it.
I also challenged myself to get back in a top form which I had few years ago (before I started working online...sitting in-front of computer for several hours per day)
If you're serious about steemit, I can transfer you everything from my wallet from steemit...it ain't much, but since I'm not fan of steemit cryptocurrency, I won't use them.
Hi @lanmis! Thank you for stopping by here on this end of my SteemIt endeavours! It’s really good to see a familiar face! Honestly I’m sad to hear that your feeling low about the prospects of the Steem Blockchain... 😢 It feels like I’ve made a solid online friend so I honestly hope that you don’t abandon ship. Your more valued here than you know my friend!
I would like to ask you the question... and because we have been able to talk at depth about many different things I know that I will receive an honest and well thought out reply.
Why are you feeling this way about SteemIt? Has something happened or have you learned or discovered something that doesn’t sit well with you about Steem that perhaps I am unaware of? Have you found a better project? Or perhaps you have changed your opinion on crypto-currency and the state of freedom in general? What has changed @lanmis? I’m all ears and I’m listening.
I guess this is a good opportunity to ask you about the business proposition you had mentioned on my other account. I don’t want to dismiss you in this matter... with the launch of @beachready, @adventureready, the #AutomaticWin Step Challenge, and my continued by not published @NewPioneer efforts I have had more than my work cut out for me! This said... because it’s you! I’m always willing to listen and turn what you have to say over in my mind.
I hope that your doing well this Christmas season! I wish you more prosperity, freedom, and luck in the coming year! I hope, as well, that your able to spend this time with those you love. Merry Christmas @lanmis! 😊
Main reason is because I don't have time for it. Since I own and manage several businesses (and new startups are being added constantly), time is something that I don't have very much.
For 2019 I'm launching dozens new startups (with some other partners, none of them is not 100% mine). And in total I have set a goal to raise a business to higher level and income. My main goal is to reach the 55mil euros per month income, and spend it all on charities and employing some serious number of people.
Although, there are several smaller reasons why I have never been serious with steemit:
I have zero trust in the founders (I think they are very greedy and don't really bring a value, just fake it), not enough quality content (most people "force" their posts just to get rewards-no real value behind it, I don't like platforms where users make money from users who use it to make money...with that system it looks something like a Ponzi scheme, too many bots that usually ruin everything, and so on.
Just because I won't be active on stemit, it doesn't mean we can't connect and talk on other platforms. For example, you can always reach me on skype, viber, linkedin, twitter, sometimes facebook...
If you are active on any of them, we can talk about potential business partnership there, since everything posted here in comments is public...you never know who might see it and take some idea of it...
By the way, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Wish you all the best in 2019.
PS:
Some small fact, which most people don't know.
In my country Christmas comes 13 days after than it does in western countries. Serbia, like many other countries (Greece, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, etc.) is Orthodox. That's why Orthodox countries celebrate 2 New Years per Year...1 the "main one" on 31. December, second on 13. January.
Thank you @lanmis! It’s going to be a great year for the both of us I’m certain! Happy New Year and Yukrainian Christmas (?) to you as well! 🎄(That’s the only Christmas I’m aware of that starts at a later date than the regular one so I hope I’m not saying something off here! Haha!)
So! I have, or am in the middle, of abandoning all other forms of Social Media. Facebook (for example) hasn’t treated my business well over the years... not to mention I have found it to be a defective tool for connecting me with my friends and family. It actually works better to disconnect people I’ve found. So for me it’s back to the old school way of staying connected... and the new way... SteemIt! :)
Besides this... I have been using Discord as the @Actifit community cordinates there. Perhaps we could chat in privacy there? If your up for this I’ll send you a link. Would this work for you @lanmis?
If you like old school way, I'm sending a pigeon right away :-)
I just made a Discord profile. Send me a link or try finding me there, my username is same like here (at least I think it is :-) )
Sorry for my delayed response @lanmis! I finnally found some time to get back to you.
My Discord user name is the same one I'm using here on SteemIt. "wil.metcalfe".
Here is the link to the @Actifit Discord where you can find me:
https://discordapp.com/invite/JsM5fdU
I look forward to chatting with you in real time on Discord...
That way we don't have to rely on pigeons! hahaha! :D
