I don't want to work for anybody but for Blockchain - Part 1
The picture above eludes everybody. We all want to work like him.
I myself worked for 20 years starting in 1995 and lately dreamed of working like the guy in the picture. In fact when I left my Job in 2015 -I went out to my village and started doing coding to use Amazon Cloud Service for my long conceived and nurtured ideas of running a AI enabled Robotic Trader as seen in below picture
After working for nearly two years -I deployed my solution on AWS and it did produce very good results which I kept sharing on my web VulturesPick.
However, the dilemma I faced was
- I had to have somebody to monitor that everything is running OK
- If there was a problem then I had to be available to make it work again
- And if I needed to scale up then accordingly I needed more human resources
All the above points actually needed my round the clock personal attention which I always wanted to stay away from.
What was needed is an ecosystem in which an unbiased reward mechanism drives various stakeholders, according to their capability, to onboard, contribute, cooperate, compete, be rewarded, and leave & rejoin at wish without being answerable to any human being - the badass BOSS.
I kept searching to rescue myself from this grinding need of being available to run an organization and not becoming myself a badass boss. And then I re-stumbled upon the world of blockchain in March 2017. I say restumbled because first time I came close to it is when post Lehman Brothers Collapse - I happened to know about the now famous Bitcoin in March 2009 when I was packing my bags in Cairo to go to Houston on another important assignment in Schlumberger. I was convinced then about the merits of Bitcoin, although did not action, and I am convinced now.
In last one year I have studied a lot about this world of blockchain. I now see a possibility of realizing my dream of not working for anybody.
In next post I will list out various possibilities that I may engage myself in to free myself from working for a badass BOSS but for a system. Stay Tuned.
In the meantime please share your ideas how people can work for blockchain.
If you have a dream to become independent and you work hard for it, you will do it. There are endless possibilities, especially for a growing technology like blockchain. And if you are a programmer you need not to worry. A friend said she know a head hunter who told her that for every programmer there are 8 jobs here in Norway. If you quit your job, you will always find something to do. The best is to make an idea into reality and doing or own projects if you can. I also experience this getting regularly requests on linkedin for jobs. I would recommend to start it as a hobby, and when it starts going good you can quit your job. However there are plenty projects you can work on where they are your client and you are your own boss. Once you quit a job you will start to see all the possible ways to earn money.
If you work much you don't have time to make money 💸💲📈 nor to use your brain.
I will follow you to see how you will develop.
Follow me too on @seelc
Great post. Good luck to you.

Excuse me for advertising. It is necessary to earn. I'll try to stop soon. :)
i'm also thinking learning how to code in blockchain, but there's a new technology emerging like "hash graph", what i saw on documentary, hash graph is way more efficient than blockchain, it has faster transaction and scalability. You might want to search it out, and let see what you think. :)
Hashgraph is a Distributed Ledger Technology
please review the detail of Hashgraph :)

It seems like u are for seeing something that is yet to emerge. All the best for your endeavours
Thank u
Sounds like a typical Millennial.
Thnx
I guess most of us were employees and are slaves by our employers just because of a certain amount of salaries. We are dreaming to be financially free like of that above photo, we are dreaming that one day we are not working for the money but otherwise. Not many of us born with wealthy parents with their huge businesses.
Definitely, its not our fault that we are born average-wealth person but to stay the same will be our choice. This cryptocurrency has a great potential for us to be financially free if we managed it correctly and wisely. In fact, many of our fellow cryptonians earn huge and even they hit into thousands of dollars if not millions.
I agree, the potential is enormous! One of the key reason to make me join Steemit was that Dan Larimer said.."make governments irrelevant"! Now that is some potential :)
I agree with @luca1777, it's not the employers themselves but the taxes, rules and regulations that enslave everyone. And who makes those rules but the governments and politicians in league with the big corporations of course? Life, Liberty and Property are what we must regain & preserve.
Dan is super genius and we should support his initiatives and in turn be rewarded ourselves too
Agreed my friend :)
I would like to add one more point to it
My experience shows that flexi working is almost difficult in corporates like I want to work only 3 days a week or only 4 hrs day. I am ok to get 50% cut on my salary but corporates don’t allow that option very easily.
It is this requirement that also is easily filled by blockchain ecosystem
Elizah. It
s not the employers that are keeping us slaves. Its ourselves! Until we "grow up" we can not blame others who act on our behalves let it be a president, a boss or just about anybody who you entitled to act on your behalf in any imaginable way. Life - ever since the beginnings- is a journey on the path of "good & bad". We are getting very close to the end of this journey and it`s a 50:50 chance if it ends with a total disaster or a total remodelling of the lost Paradise. While you can only think about working like on that picture above, you are lost in the deepest mud of "forgettance" of who we really are, i.e. you live in The Matrix.That is another dimension of thinking and currently not being under discussion in this article.
yes so very true..so lucky for the people who was born rich...but me ,who was born by a very poor parent had to work hard for us to eat 3 times a week..ive experience also to work 8 am to 8 pm just to earn a 170 pesos..but i felt lucky now that i am part of this community @steem
Good luck
I would like to follow your steps twirls real income from blockchain .. so i will follow
You so not to miss your new posts 😎
No new posts ?
Thnx
Welcome !
same for me blockchain is the most interesting thing right now
do share how you intend to use it
Pramesh the tyagi. Your thoughts hit a nerve with the public. Everyone feels like they are trapped on "the Hamster Wheel" otherwise widely known as the rat race.
A tyagi is a Yogi or secret renunciate, or maybe it's really your name!.
I am glad to see so many people are actually thinking same way.
For Tyagi - it is my surname. And yes Tyagi’s are Brahmans who actually stopped taking any donations long back for their survival and instead started farming. And so they are called Tyagi’s.
Very interesting. I didn't know that background, only that tyagya is a kind of inner renunciation which is a great and very useful concept in itself.
I am ready to escape the paper pushing bullshit of modern society. Blockchain can have all that work :-).
Hope one day to be my own boss with that kind of flexibility. Still looking for the right opportunity that I can afford to create.
so you basically pay for upvotes and make money that way?
i just watched your wallet sence your transfer to upmewale then after to a bunch of other voting bots.
:O
can you teach me how to make alot of money from the bots without people actually looking at my post?
please please please!
Your conclusion is not correct. I actually lose 25% when I use bots for upvote. And still use bots. Do you wants to know why? Because I believe in Steem platform and anticipating that if I can be visible then I will be able to develop a network of steem users who see value in my posts and my other works and that would allow me to collaborate with them for win -win outcome.
Hope u get my point.
You lose 25%.
:O
thats crazy, i watched you spend over 200 sbd in 20 min! so after 4 posts its costing you around 600 bucks?!?!?!
wow
i thought you were making money.
i personally think if you wanted to help grow the platform it would do more good to power up with that 600 bucks every 4 posts and upvote the people that interact with you and upvote your stuff, then their votes on your post would be worth more.
Damn thats crazy, i thought it was gona be like a 1k pay out post when i seen your wallet start wizzing by.
Well ill check your posts out and if i like them ill follow, so i guess your plan did work on its getting you visibility.
:D
have a great weekend and thank you for explaining it to me, i thought for some reason people paid for upvotes to make money i just couldnt figure out how to do it or something.
Just be clear. People are paying bots to get visibility. Bots are making apprx 25% more than they would if they had upvoted themselves.
So I don't consider bots as enemies of the platform but enabler to let the system develop attention economy which is hotly contested field right now.
Yep 👍🏼 and the more visibility the more followers , and the more real sustainable upvotes , and the more smarter growth on the long run !

how do you feel about the removal of the view counter yesterday so people cant continue pointing out how people are getting hundreds of upvotes from bots but single digit views on the posts?
wouldnt you like to know how many of the votes you got came from actual people and not all just from multi sock puppet accounts?
Took steemit 4 months of everyone yelling for a view counter in the early days of the platform to stop the alt account bot scam as it was the only way to prove people were self upvoting with bots and now all of a sudden they removed it without saying a word like no one noticed.
:/
idk, if you think bots are good then i guess we will just have to agree to disagree. i see it only as more consolidation of the power on the platform to the preminers that mined 98% of the platforms steempower before stopping all mining and it was opened up to the public.
Comments still provide a measure about if the content is being read and discussed or not.
I also noticed just now about the view counter and I am equally surprised. Hope they will restore it
Although I have a suggestion to make in this regard that there should be two type of trending
I think that would be awesome, maybe keep trending as most commented, viewed and stuff and then make a page thats all the top paying stuff.
I also hope they bring back the view counter, it supplied alot of information even if not 100% accurate.
well some people are...some people are abusing them
no point in ignoring the obvious issues with the bots.
it's a great system but needs improvement
if you spent 200 and got 244 sbd and 80 sp you didn't lose anything..... Only way you are going to lose now is if steem price drops and that's not the case. You will actually make about 50% in profits on this....
No. I will get only 75% of what u see on post and so either break even or minor loss/profit
I agree with that completely @prameshtyagi
Some people don't understand the concept of investing in yourself
There is problems with bot abuse....but not use
Yes u are right. System improvement based on community feedback should happen
try minnowbooster they have a cool system.
It’s depend on your investment size how much you invested. There is two three way to earn money
1 is be a beggar
2 is be a invester
3 is be a criminal
So beggars don’t have a social reputation and criminal don’t have a life to enjoy then third is good for a common man
Now what you wanna do , do as per your mind
im number 4, bust ass and make content that actual people upvote. maybe that is the real number 2 though considering without content creators spending time this site has nothing but beggars, cash investors and criminals.
:O
investment size i guess would be 2 years of my life and 12k+ posts.
I agree that content creators will provide the fuel for it to run but investors provide the vehicle in which fuel can be used.
So both are important and both need to be rewarded
I just looked at ur post, your more then doubling your money with the upvots you paid for. not losing at all like you claimed.
Without creators this site is nothing but a circle jerk, investors upvoting other investors to make money caring nothing about actual content creation. As the big names that show up realize how the system works they leave, at first they shil for it not realizing they are the product that steem is selling then after they leave and their followers slowly go with them.
User rentintion on this platform has only gotten worse over the years and its no supprise to me.
You could bring a million noobs to this site and unless your getting upvoted by a whale or buying votes they wouldnt make anything compared to the people with 6 whale circkle jerk buddies that have no followerrs in the real world out side of steemit. 1million minnow votes wont pay shit compared to one whale vote.
I guess its all about how much money you have to put into the scam and not about the platform or content creation or anything like that.
Maybe ill try using all the vote bots you used for my next post and see if i can also rape the reward pool without getting views.
Losing 25% per post!
lmfao!
You more then doubled your money paying for votes.
smfh
Why all companies give money for their product advertisement.
getting paid money to advertise on your post is not the same paying money to someone that premined the system to give you upvotes, steemit does not make money by advertising it makes its value by growing the chain block by block. The blocks are suposta represent work done but thats not the way it has ended up.
Today steem is at 3 and one earns steem more easily but as time passes by steem will be at much higher price plus earning steems will be much more difficult
That won’t mean that today’s earners have premined. They in fact are taking risk on their money as well as in their time.
So nothing wrong who have premined.
I dont think you understand what happend to and what that premined power is used for.
Bidbots are people with high stakes, not people who have premined. All the premined money is in the hands of steemit inc which doesn't use it to vote.
not true.
if it is then there is a huge problem, all premining was suposta be opened to the public to keep it decentralized in power. so if all is owned by steemit inc then from the very begining the whole platform was all a lie.
also they were manually booting miners that were not part of their little group when mining was going on, so they were trying to centralize the power while saying it was open and decentralized.
if you think all the steempower that was premined before all mining was stopped and the platform was opened to the public is only owned by steemit inc and not 98% of the whales then you obviously dont know your steemit history.
I cant even continue with this one yo, sorry but your whole comment is false.
