RE: 3 Important Things For Noobs On Steemit (That most likely nobody tells you about)
Thanks buddy, I mean thanks for reaching out and for actually noticing that I went awol for a while. Yea, it's just the stuff we talked about previously, that this platform can be so frustrating and such a waste of time.
I just posted something but haven't really made up my mind if I should call it the quits. I'll leave my page up but don't know if this place is worth putting more energy into. The results are just so not happening. I do appreciate your support very much and don't wanna miss our occasional chat here.
Well It's great to hear from you and to know you're OK.
Yea.. as you know I agree this place is pretty lame especially if we expect to get any fame or fortune out of it and of course it gets even worse as the price of Steem keeps dropping.
It's my contention that it was designed on a kind of socialist Keynesian model, with an inflationary currency (which constantly looses value) instead of a deflationary currency like Bitcoin etc. (which inherently does the opposite).
I was writing an article about this (I put up a short post called "Bitcoin and Deflation"
https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@amd64/bitcoin-and-deflation ) but just as I was about to post it the power went down and I lost it, and haven't got around to trying to recreate it.
I'm pretty good at understanding economics and predicted the rise of Bitcoin right from the beginning but because of technical issues didn't manage to get some till it was nearly $200 but I've done all right so far:)
I'll probably recreate that post again though I'm not sure if there's much point in doing it.
For one I doubt if anyone who could do anything about it would ever get to read and understand it. And even if they did I imagine have great difficulty getting a consensus to make the changes to the currency I suggest.
Do you post on any other platform/s? I'd like to keep in touch if you do leave here. I was thinking of emailing you through your website if that's OK? There's other things too e.g.
I'm listening to all the oldies but goodies from the early 60s onwards. They all sound pristine and it's absolutely thrilling to listen to them on this little "Speaker" called a "Sardine" which only costs 15-20$ and even though it's a smallish sound it gets right through to you.
I got it here: https://www.ebay.ie/itm/Portable-10W-Powerful-Wireless-Bluetooth-Stereo-Speaker-Support-FM-Alarm-TF-USB/262420302449?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
But you could proly find it anywhere, and I could send you bunches of mp3s to put on a usb stick or SD card and it will play them one after another continuously for days.
I want everyone I know to experience this. It's fantastic.
I could go on but I better leave it at that for now.
Hey mang, thank you for this elaborate message. I did not know you understand economics so well, because even though I was pretty good at math, making me understand how wall street and the money market works is like trying to explain to someone the smell of the color nine. Maybe it's all the political bullshit surrounding it that creates this block in my brain. I always had the impression that the whole banking system is built on deception and fraud, and wouldn't even work if not some parts of the world and the population were kept artificially poor and struggling.
I read your article and it's the first time I heard of a deflationary system, still have no clue how it would work, but just the fact that it's being badmouthed by the parasitic puppet masters shows me that it must be the right way to go.
Regarding the oldies, I hafta admit that I don't have the endurance to listen to this for a prolonged period of time. Once in a blue moon I need my 70s or 60s fix but that usually only lasts somewhere between a few hours to several days. A month back i had a Golden Earring phase which lasted a solid 2 days. I'm more into electronica, reggae and alternative rock from the 90s. One of my fav bands from that time is Garbage. I've been also dabbling in blues occasionally, Gary Clark jr. is pretty high on my list. Then there's new wave from the 80s of course, Tears For Fears, Icehouse, etc, every now and then I get a heavy dose of that stuff.
And yes, I have the usual social media setup, @mushroomdreamsart for instagram for example, we can start with that if you have an account there. I most likely stick around here, though and you can always email me thru my website. Whatever is easiest, I even subscribed to discord but haven't really used it.
So long my friend, tha-tha-that's all for today.
