Starting the #selfemployed tag with the question: What will you do with your life once steemit has given you the freedom to?

in #selfemployed8 years ago (edited)

Yesterday I was laying in bed, thinking ahead into the future about steemit and all the users that are here right now. I was still early enough to get 10 SteemPower for just creating my account. Do you remember the bitcoin stories about getting 1 btc for just registering on a site? This is going to be the same feeling in a couple of years if not months with this pace.
So it got me to thinking, all I have to do is live, share my life, my thoughts, my feelings with the rest of the world and we will all be rewarded for it. For existing. Not how the world works right now, where you pay with your precious time you have of this one life you get, 2/3rds of your day goes to working, at least. The other goes to sleeping and the rest is mostly necessities and not enough free time. With automation people won't even be needed for further involvement in evolution and labor work, this is the beginning of a new era.

Many people think very shortsighted, I've learned when trading altcoins that longetivity is the true key of becoming successful at it. Every time I've made a sell trade cause I "needed" the money or knew it was too early when there was no volume it turned out later to be the wrong decision. Every. Time. What I want to say by this is that don't focus on the "quick gain", "it happened to user X it can happen to me too" lottery thinking. Just look at the bigger picture and zoom it out a bit more.

Steemit has come such a long way since it first launched and the evolution of cryptocurrencies is accelerating so fast that several months are enough for something to hit $250 million value, and when the idea is right, there is nothing that can stop it, and the beauty of block-chain technology is that even if someone would want to stop it, they couldn't.
It has been invented, it is here to stay.

So calm down, be thankful you are here already, and think about how you can help the site, the community and most importantly yourself to make this a good place for everyone, and for everyone's content to become better with time. Remember how imaginary karma points make reddit one of the best social platforms compared to the others, just cause people can vote and filter the content. How well won't we do it here when there is real money at stake? Steemit will be the ultimate go-to platform for people of any age, gender and race.

So back to my question and the idea behind #selfemployed

How is this going to change your life? What will you do now that you couldn't do before because of work/economy/location?

You better start planning. ;)

Sort:  

I will continue to work and steem on! :-)

unless the following of people will work flawlessly like on facebook pages there won't be any consistency in earned votings. so to leave your work for example just because you had one successful post which didnt really have any value in itself would be dumb. i think the value of earnings will go down over time rather than up.
