Introduction
MY STEEM STORY - by @marcybetancourt
Where my Steem Journey began
I had and have technological limitations: a computer with programs far behind, internet super slow and often offline, three cameras have robbed me two, so only 1 semi-professional I have left.
Then the journey began in Cumana - Venezuela, where still alive; In 2018, with great enthusiasm, with little money in my bank account for the precarious university salary and with many technological limitations.
My initial challenges & how I overcame them
The publication in terms of content, narrative and language was good but it was a disaster in terms of the use of images. The surprise is that this publication was voted by @cervantes through @don.quijote. If you wish to check you can follow the following link La oveja de David. Of course, I didn't understand that big step.
After this great start I completely lost internet access. At the same time, a multidisciplinary group called #EquipoCardumen was being formed in Cumana and I was included. However, not having internet or smartphone I started surfing alone and slowly Steemit. They were very difficult times! Almost a year without growing, without understanding, publishing very little and without interacting with other users.
I didn't publish but read a lot. For reasons of economic precariousness I withdrew all the rewards. So I was left with low reputation and low voting power. To participate in a contest I had to post one day and then wait the next day to place my post in the contest comments. I always ran out of resources.
I decided to start again! And I invested in myself, there everything changed because I could interact with other users and I began to grow. Nobody told me how to do it but the readings allowed me to learn.
My Steem blockchain knowledge
In Steemit there are many users who explain this process and although it’s a very interesting topic are a technical language and complicated, I am willing to keep learning.
My Steem favorites
As for groups I am united with @equipocardumen and recently I joined @club12. I really like @curie, @ocd, @steemitbloggers, @bananafish and @monochromes; in Spanish, I like @acropolis, @celfmagazine and @ nucleo-fse because they are open spaces for quality and creativity in varied topics.
My golden nugget advice
My Steem hood & its peeps
As I mentioned, previously, I’m joined by two Hispanic groups @equipocardumen and @club12. In EquipoCardumen, currently, there are few users producing for the blockchain, for different reasons, but I maintain the relationship with some who remain active such as: @hlezama, @josemalavem, @evagavilan, @oacevedo, @evagavilan and @gracielaacevedo.
As for @club12 I exchange every week in their publications, practically with the whole group.
In discord I constantly review @Curie, @Adsactly, @VotoVzla, @Cervantes, @Mayvileros, @TeamMexicoPro, @Templo, @VotoMasivo and @C-Squared.
As for communities or hives, I have subscribed to several of them but obviously I cannot be active at all. I will not clone myself! hahaha. I want to do is have the chance to meet users to exchange ideas on certain topics or common interests.
There are some people that I would like to mention because they have been part of my growth and I’m sure they will be for those who need it: @mllg, @lecumberre, @josemalavem, @agmoore, @yonnathang, @bert0, @roadstories and @hlezama.
Honestly, I follow many users for their creativity, dynamism and super positive attitude. Explaining their qualities would make this publication endless so I will only mention them and thank you, from here, for your support and accompaniment on multiple occasions: @dsc-r2cornell, @melinda010100, @papilloncharity, @victoriasbs, @anomadsoul, @acidyo, @xpilar, @appreciator and @theycallmedan.
This count looks like a confessional, hahahaha. I hope you came here and enjoyed my personal story on Steemit.

Thanks for reading. Welcome your comments.
Infinite Greetings!
Joining the journey from a country with bad internet connection plus many other problems it is great to read your story on how you arrived and accomplished overcoming problems.
Have a wonderful new week @marcybetancourt
Steemit is a wonderful place that allows me to escape real and fascinating world.
My daily life is filled with many problems but Steemit can dream, create and live a parallel reality ...
I have understood that we cannot be tied to the lack of electricity, to have no connection, to have a version 4 or 5 program when those same programs go through version 14.
We need to move forward with joy and paradigm shifts encouraging for young people and for ourselves. Thanks for your reading @joanstewart
Great to read we never met untill now, thank you for participating
Thanks to all the PHC group for this initiative. It's a way to know, to read us and help new users Steemit. Warm greetings @brittandjosie
Hi @marcybetancourt
I LOVE THIS PUBLICATION, capitalized.
While reading, there were times when I felt it was my own story.
I could not avoid tears.
I only wish blessings and a happy life forever, for you and yours.
Hola @marcybetancourt
ME ENCANTA ESTA PUBLICACIÓN, en mayúscula.
Mientras leía, hubo momentos en que sentí que era mi propia historia.
No pude evitar lagrimas.
Solo deseo bendiciones y una vida feliz para siempre, para ti y los tuyos.
Gracias @mariita52 por tus bendiciones, son gratamente recibidas.
Hacer esta publicación fue un ejercicio de varias horas porque muchas vivencias han sido amargas. Estar sin electricidad, en otras con la computadora dañada, a veces sin internet, y la mayoría de las veces con hambre no es nada fácil. Pero te confieso que en Steemit salgo de mi cotidianidad y encuentro un mundo real que progresa, escribe, dibuja, fotografía y sueña, entre otros, entonces me digo "este es el mundo real... tengo que ser capaz de seguir soñando y creando!"... entonces sigo adelante.
Mil gracias por tu lectura y las lágrimas las comparto. Bendiciones para ti también.
Thanks @ mariita52 for your blessings, are gratefully received.
Make this publication was an exercise of several hours because many bitter experiences have been. Being without electricity, sometimes with a damaged computer, sometimes without internet, and most of the time with hunger is not easy. But I confess that in Steemit I leave my daily life and find a real world that progresses, writes, draws, photographs and dreams, among others, so I say to myself "this is the real world ... I have to be able to continue dreaming and creating ! "... then I go ahead.
Thank you very much for your reading and I share the tears. Blessings for you too
Thank you @marcybetancourt
For being transparent and authentic.
Your faith strengthens me and ... yes, you get to see the virtual as your reality, because the world outside has become more unreal than ever.
Go ahead and without fear, no doubt better times are coming.
Gracias @marcybetancourt
Por ser transparente y autentica.
Tu fe me fortalece y... si, llegas a ver lo virtual como tu realidad, pues el mundo afuera se ha vuelto mas irreal que nunca.
Sigue adelante y sin temor, sin duda vienen tiempos mejores.
Cuando digo mundo "real" es que detrás de cada pantalla de computador hay una persona sentada que cuenta historias, que pinta, viaja, decora, cocina, etc. Muchas personas están haciendo trabajos trabajos hermosos y nosotros en Venezuela estamos absorbidos en una cotidianidad desastrosa. Entonces... las personas de Steemit me recuerdan que hay que leer un libro, ver una película, crear nuevos ritmos musicales, etc. Esas son las cosas que quiero hacer y por eso las considero más "reales". Se trata de un juego de palabras y de estilos de vida.
También tengo Fe en tienen que venir tiempos mejores.
When I say "real" world is that behind each computer screen there is a seated person who tells stories, who paints, travels, decorates, cooks, etc. Many people are doing beautiful works and we, in Venezuela, are absorbed in a disastrous daily life. So ... the people of Steemit remind me that you have to read a book, watch a movie, create new musical rhythms, etc. Those are the things I want to do and why most consider "real". It is a play on words and lifestyles.
I also have faith in better times must come.

¡Enhorabuena, @marcybetancourt! Eres portavoz de una gran historia Steem. Eres muy talentosa y tienes mucho que ofrecer. ¡Saludos y un abrazo!
Gracias por la lectura de mi historia en steemit. Aquí he sido muy feliz aún con las vicisitudes. Me encanta la oportunidad que he tenido de conocer nuevas narrativas...(ya que en estos tiempos no puedo comprar libros), vaya que hay talento se puede descubrir cada día. Un gran abrazo
@marcybetancourt Mi primera lengua es el español no manejo a la perfección el inglés, pero considero que te expresas muy bien en ese idioma, además tienes mucha razón la perseverancia es la clave y siempre ir aprendiendo para mejorar más y más.
Yo también hablo español y pienso en español. No obstante, los estudios académicos me obligaron a leer en inglés y después de tanto leer y leer uno se atreve a hacer algunas oraciones en inglés. Lo más lindo que intuyo en tus palabras es tener la vida (y todo lo que viene con ella) como un pizarrón de aprendizajes. Un gran abrazo
