Welcome to the 59th Edition of the Daily Qurator. Below you will find some awesome members of @qurator that worked hard to post some good quality content for all you awesome Steemians to enjoy!

The @qurator project was created to help give Steemians some extra exposure and awesome upvotes currently worth around $0.07 - $0.48!

Note: some of you have been curated twice since the start of the daily qurator and some have been curated only once. As the daily qurator is gaining fame with every passing day, many new steemians are asking/will ask to join us. So, expect to see posts from new users for now. When the opportunity arises, posts from older users will be curated once again

Your Quality Curator ~( @gingerninja )~ Presents:

Hong Kong X'mas Decorations 2017: TO-FU OYAKO X'mas Fun Party @ V city | 香港聖誕佈置2017：豆腐人聖誕玩樂派對 @ V city

2017 has been an amazing year, jam packed with a lot of memorable moments.

It is scary to imagine how fast time has flown, and it is almost time to say good-bye to yet another year.
After reading through some of the awesome content created by the Qurites today, I came upon this lovely photo(taken with steepshot) by @nahaha, with this as the starting text:

Every year, shopping malls and public locations in Hong Kong are decorated for Christmas with different themes, usually starting from one month before Christmas.

Christmas will be here soon! And in Hong Kong and all over the world, Christmas lights and themes will be starting to appear in the cities. Follow @nahaha for more photos like these on his snapshot collections! ^^

@jmcmeekin	socialmedia

Are you using Social Media are being consumed by it?

In hist latest post, @jmcmeekin shares with us a powerful look into social media, and the way users will spend their time online.

In the post he says:

Adults spend on average 2 hours a day on social media.
Where does the 2 hours go?
Our list of useful activities added up to around 30 minutes a day. How are we consumed by social media for an additional 1 hour and 30 minutes each and every day!

This gives us a good idea of how much time social media consumes of our time...Our friend @jmcmeekin shares awareness on this in his post to help users realize they should be connecting more with the world! So if you have been Steemin for a few hours now, TAKE A BREAK :P

Let's all welcome @buzzbeergeek as a new Qurite. (If you need some beer advice, this will be your guy!)

@boontjie	cryptocurrency

The Value Chronicles Episode 12 – The trend is your friend

For the last entry in today's The Daily Qurator, here is a cryptocurrency market trading post created by one of the Qurites, @boontjie.

In this post he talks and demonstrates to us how "the trend" on a coin will be of huge benefit if you can use it correctly.
This is the 12TH edition to his The values chronicles, so if you are a new trader needing some quick advice, we recommend giving him a follow and reading up on his posts. =)

Removed the Qurator Comment when voting.

The Qurator Comment will be temporarily removed. We updated out bot and for stability reasons we are removing the comment for now. This will make the bot much more stable in the long run and we will be working on getting the comment back.

The bot will be much more stable now, which means no more post "update" for Qurites. =)

Streemian Trail Account is here!

You may have noticed that your upvotes from @qurator packed a little bigger punch! @gingerninja, @scrooger and @ethandsmith are now trailing the @qurator account and will be sending you some extra upvotes from our side as well. It's not much but every upvote counts!

You can also follow the trail and send upvotes to fellow Qurator members when @qurator upvotes them. To set up a Streemian account only takes a few minutes and is a great way to earn some extra curation.

You can follow this GUIDE to set up your Streemian account.

After setting up your account you can follow this trail on Streemian:

https://streemian.com/profile/curationtrail/trailing/817

We suggest NOT following the trail at 100% since we do not want to drain too much of your precious voting power. Play around with your percentage and if you see your voting power being drained too much you can simply lower your % in Streemian. If you have a lot of voting power to spare you can consider a larger %.

If you need any help or have questions come visit our #support channel on Discord.
