Intro – 10 reasons why crypto could be bad for your health

 

Hi Steemit community, 

I’m sure that 9 out of 10 Dentists might agree dealing crypto leads to a golden shiny “bling tooth” but personally I just wake at night having heart palpitations - generally caused by checking the latest price for my minuscule amount of GPU mined coins :)

Sorry that's all I have on health benefits!!; I actually joined because I wanted to help out a friend 

A few months back I decided to write a fictional book with a friend (crazy because I’ve never written anything and my English/spelling/education background is yeah, pretty rough as you can tell from this post). My friend is an developing artist with a variety of gifts and skills including dabbling with illustrations, but I believe she has very low confidence and is also introverted. 

I was struggling on how I could help, wrong or right, I proposed a collaborative project and we went to work together on the so mentioned book.  I offered to pay fully for the book to be published, with a 50/50 split for anything sold (if she promised to finish what we started). 

Unfortunately, we haven’t finished (about half complete) progress is now extremely slow and we are probably now going to stop. At this stage I fear we will never finish, not unless it can prove its worth so far so to speak (basically our confidence has dropped too low and life in general is getting in the way). 

 I recently came across Steem crypto currency and was thinking, wouldn’t it be great if I could somehow link my interest in crypto currency to the book writing.

Right now I don’t really understand how Steem works (or even if I'm doing this post correctly?) and have no social media followers, so expectations are low. Still, if there is some way i can make this work I would like to try. I was thinking along the lines I could post a page each week and try to raise some coins.

 I have asked her in principal to the approach and she has agreed and I have full permission to share the materials in this manner. Anyways, if people are keen I could post the first page or two and see what people think? Hopefully raising some Steemit coins for our cause in the process??.   

P.S. here are some pictures of my family proving I’m not a robot, and breaking up the text as suggested.  I have linked a very small picture of myself on the profile (but prefer to remain somewhat anonymous as don’t want to embarrass my friend if this doesn’t work  out). Hope i did the tagging thing right?  

and


Cheers in advance for thoughts, comments – happy to leave in peace if I’m not contributing to Steem in the right way or be politely steered the right way  (just be kind, as I meant no harm).

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm following you now, you certainly have some well written and interesting posts

Hello, it appears I just don't have enough followers (I'm only new). If anyone knows how to Resteem, could you please help (from reading I think this means display to your list of followers and thus increase someones exposure). If I can get enough followers, I will post my book (several months work - see my intro post as to why I joined Steemit). Cheers

Hi @lordnigel. Just a little bit of friendly advice. Sometimes you get people on steemit who are involved in curating which basically means they are looking for new decent authors to upvote and share. This can lead to a decent payout and more exposure in the community but one thing they always look for is a picture of the steemit user with the date on a peice of cardboard or something similar for verification purposes. I understand if your uncomfortable doing that but it could really help you out in getting noticed :) I have followed you and will be checking out the fantasy series regularly 👍

Thanks for taking sometime to give me some help, is greatly appreciated. I will consider doing what you have suggested, but I am unsure how a photo of myself is verifying myself? its probably just me and I might be missing something - In this post my cat has a piece of paper with the date I started. I guess if this was seriously impacting earnings I could email a photo to an admin or something? is this an option?

I will try doing some searches why putting your personal photo up is important and how this verify's, and helps votes etc. Thankyou for the advice I'll give it serious consideration.

Someone also kindly suggested I reveal the name of the illustrator doing my pictures? I found the question strange as they are unique and can't be found else where (again its probably me just not knowing what I'm doing and being reserved person). Anyways I started putting her initials and asked her, but like me she has little background with internet security etc and some reservations. Still, we want to be successful on the platform so I will try to find out more. Thank you again and I hope you enjoy the story :)

I understand the Steemit community responds better to people willing to share a pic (Best I can do short term) will try to organise something more creative later :)

I'll also name the illustrator now with her permission, it's Krystal Davies (KD) - Cheers :)

Hi @lordnigel. That picture is enough, and it really is only curators who are looking for this level of verification. They look for these things as there are a lot of plagerist on steemit, the people who curate posts just go through certain steps to make sure they are not rewarding the wrong person. If you do a bit of google research on steemit curators you'll get an idea of what they are all about. I also am a bit shy and if you take a look at my page you'll see I only posted my intro post with a current pic of myself last week after being on steemit for 3 and a bit months. I am part of a writer's group called 'the writers' block' on discord, it's a great community with a chance to make friends + widen your followers with other fiction and poetry writers. Link to there steemit page: https://steemit.com/@thewritersblock
All the best and good luck on here persistence and networking pays off on steemit. I am glad to help :)

Just curious, is your username from The White Company and/or Sir Nigel?
