THE THINGS I'VE LEARNED ON STEEMIT BY @preye2

Hello Friends,

Designed on Canva

To say for a fact, the Steemit platform has not only helped me monetarily, but it has helped me to learn so many things in which I would forever be grateful for. Before I started Steemit they were lots of concepts I had no idea about example of such things includes blockchain technology and it's diverse concepts(consensus algorithms). I had only heard of it's name in one or two occasions, but I had'nt realized what it was all about not until I became a steemian.

Infact, I have learnt so much here on this platform both intellectually, socially, emotionally, occupationally and other-wise. So if I am to give a more comprehensive post, I think it would be up to 5,000 words or more, but I would be brief and clear as possible for this entry. So I am saying a big thank you to @goodybest and the @campusconnect team for organizing such an interesting contest.

The Things I've Learned On The Steemit Platform

They are so many numerous skills and knowledge I have gained here, as they have even helped me outside of this platform. Below are some of them.

I learnt how to trade coins with good risk management strategies:

Yes, this is one of the most interesting things I learnt on this platform, all thanks to the free weekly courses given by respected professors of the Steemit Crypto Academy. Sincerely I learnt so much about trading strategies and wonderful indicators which would help me trade crypto pairs on any trading platform.
I equally learnt that as a trader, I need to implement what is called The Risk Management Strategy(Risk-reward ratio, 1% Rule, Stoploss and take profit) where I would implement some actions in anticipation of the unstable state of the market to reduce risk of losing my assets.
Outside of the steemit platform, I have tried out some of the various strategies I learnt here, on a different trading platform called FBS, where I was given $50 to start with, and thanks to the knowledge I got from Steemit courses I was able to generate lots of profits from my trades.

I have learnt how blockchain works

I am currently into coding and equally looking forward on developing something huge in the tech space with some group of friends. Lately, I have been considering choosing a project topic for my final year on "voting system using blockchain technology." Nevertheless, it still surprises me that this burning desire to set up something in the tech space started when I got to learn about how blockchain works through courses taught in the Steemit platform, isn't this platform wonderful 🤷.
We were given assignments in the Crypto Academy classes, which broaden our knowledges as we researched more on topics like blockchain and it's concepts, which has really been impactful to me.

Markdown Skills Improvement:

The Steemit platform teaches the application of markdowns in its achievements 4 task of it's newcomers community, which made me to improve in my markdown applications. Before joining the Steemit space, I wasn't really familiar with some of this markdowns used for making articles more presentable. But today I can proudly say, I have improved in my markdown as I hope to continue learning new markdown codes as we progress. Some of the markdown codes I have learnt so far includes:

Markdown Code	Output
** **	For Bold:
* *	For Italic:
*** ***	For Italic-Bold:
~~ ~~	For Strike through on text:**
div class=" phishy ">For color:</div (open and close with < > respectively to see colors) ​	For color

My Drawing Skills

I haven't been drawing for years now, because I taught I wasn't good at it at all. Before joining the Steemit platform, I never had to draw anything serious, except for fun. But when I started engaging in creative contest in respect to drawing and art, I was really surprise to see that I could draw what I never taught I could. Surely I have improved, and basically what I learnt here was that I could do anything if I out in best and time in it (this is a mental help from Steemit)🙏

The image above is the latest drawing I made on one of such contest where I drew a suit for Mr Steemit.

My Craft-Making Skills

With the same energy of mental strength which has been improved by the Steemit platform, I got clay soil and started molding anything I think of in my mind. Slowly I became very impressed and happy with my work and as such I started molding many more items.

This is another of latest craft skill which I did aim one of the steemit contest hosted by a community here.

Conclusion

Steemit is a platform where we not only earn, but we equally learn, am glad I took this platform serious, because with the knowledge I have gotten here, I think I can write anywhere else without a problem. I know they are many more things to learn, and am ready to enjoy the journey with Steemit.
Am inviting @jasminemary, @precious123 and @josepha to check out this interesting contest.
