Greetings Steemians 🎉🎉

My Introduction To Steemit

Firstly it wouldn't be nice if I didn't open up to you guys using this medium to tell you guys about how I got to know about Steemit.
I had this friend of mine in my lodge in school who had a quite admirable way of life to me.
He's the type that always knows how to express himself anytime and anywhere, he's always on his phone and always with data. With time I got to realize that he was always unhappy and restless whenever his battery was dead and there was no means to charge up.

The most mysterious part of it all is that he would always be talking about crypto- currencies and would always be spotted checking the rise and fall of unusual currencies, you would hear him always making voice notes with his WhatsApp friends telling them about binance, Bitcoin, steem, roqqu, Tron, BNB and USDT.

These things don't even get in the way of his lectures as he's always going to school every morning by 8am unlike me who wakes up on time and doesn't go anywhere. Another funny thing about him is that he loves eating alot but cannot cook, he therefore Always buys things outside and as a result knew the prices of almost all shops and restaurants, he hardly gets cheated in terms of food and snacks and would always be angry if you try to cheat him with price or low quality of goods, as he's a great lover of quality and would spend any amount of money just to have that quality just as long as it's within the price range.

Well he's name on this platform is @swaylee and after a month of closely observing him I couldn't help but ask the guy how he makes his money, he laughed at first and wanted to change the topic until I showed him I wasn't making fun of him and I wanted in.

He told me to enter my browser and log in to Steemit. com, then carefully he created an account for me and showed me the ropes around and till today is still My mentor and guide. And I think it was from that day onwards my mindset about money making changed.

The Steemit Platform

If you ask me Steemit is the best thing that has and will happen to anyone who has a phone or laptop and truly wants to take full advantage of all that this digital 21st century has to offer us. This platform to me is just a social media like the rest of them Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc but has a significant difference. Now picture this, a social media where you make the most creative and innovative writing and commenting on that of others just like Facebook and based on the quality of your post you get a considerable amount of likes just like Facebook and Instagram likes but a simple difference being that each votes gets you rewarded with a specific amount of a digitally tradeable currency called STEEM.

Significant Benefits Of Steemit To It's Users To A Better life

There are many notable benefits of Steemit to we steemians especially to we the young, dumb and formerly broke young ones. Soo many vast privileges we have as the luckily informed IT gadgets users but I would be outlining the ones I feel changed my own life for better.

- Verbal Fluency

According to my Dad, It is of no doubt that "Any behavior formed over a period of 21 days becomes a habit, so far as your heart is committed to doing so." After spending my time of not more than 12 hours a day making two(2) to three(3) posts a day for a total of 2 months now, I realized that there has been a change in the being the way I speak, the way I properly express myself, the manner of approach to topics and the tone to use. I also believe everyone on this platform is a witness to this and with time could also get to a point of total improvement.

-Gaining proper knowledge about crypto- currency

Steemit has undoubtedly the most most advanced mining Blockchain platform where it's users get paid simply by making authentic posts of optimum quality. So far this is the best, easiest and most efficient mining platform which with time and more benefits and more members would skyrocket the value of Steem to the moon.
Some terms adopted by crypto-traders would become a part of you if only you become a part of it and Steem mining through Steemit has also given you as chance to stand out as one of the Cool and Smart Crypto-trading Nerds.
***Some terms and it's meaning:
*Dip- fall
*Moon- rise
*ATH( All Time High)- Highest Value of a coin
*ATL( All Time High)- Lowest Value of a coin
*Bearish
*Bullish etc.
You could then also become a market analyst who could predict the Dip or moon of a currency.

-Making Actual monetary Gains

Researches I have made has shown that Steem token actually has it's All Time Highest (ATH) Value in the year 2018 where it surpassed 8 dollars. I'm sure that people who were on this mining platform made the most of it then. Crypto-currency is such a lucrative and easy profit making form of making money, as far as the value of your steem keeps increasing, withdrawal and hence steady income will never lack in your wallet.
Becoming a miner and business tycoon in the crypto world is also profiting because you would know better to buy and accumulate in the dip and sell when it's value is way up in the moon. At least I'm making my own money so that when I finally graduate I can actually have 7 figures in my account to start up something useful for myself

-Commitment

If there's something that coming online here everyday has taught me it is to always be committed to anything that means alot to you and in my case I have chosen to make give this place all my time for at least 3 years. Steemit has taught me to know how much time you have to give to your hustle if you want more results. I for one have never been a fan of making research and references to sites until I joined Steemit.At least I have accumulated a good number of steem within 2 months of mining and have set a target of making 1000 steem in 6 months, so help me God.

-Solution To An Idle Mind

It is said that "An Idle Mind IsThe Devil's Workshop". Making quality posts on Steemit actually takes alot of time in writing because one has to compose quality and quantifiable post with alot of research from time to time and taking your time to site reference and this gives one alot of work on a daily and thus becomes antidote for idleness, I am a living witness.

This platform has helped me in quite uncountable number of ways I can't even remember. It has also helped my friends and we all in our WhatsApp group chat have at least achieve some sort of financial freedom and now working towards a better life for our future. One thing is for sure, anyone who is one this platform and gives it much commitment would actually benefit alot more than financial freedom from it.
Thanks for reading through my article for this contest, I hope you enjoyed it and I just hope I make a good position in this contest.
