Sndbox Summer Camp - Steemit 'Republic' is a Land of Hope

Hello, steemians. Welcome (back) to my page! Hope that everyone is happy and rich of positive energy to share around and inspire others, ya!

This is my second task/post in fulfilling the challenge hold by @guyfawkes4-20 and @anomadsoul supported by @sndbox. You can read my first task/post here. The chosen topic for this task 2 is as mentioned in the title above. "Steemit Republic is a Land of Hope!"

Look! Nowadays, more netizens expend their interaction or even moving their online activities on Steemit platform. Some said that they are moving here because of they are getting bored, tired or even fed up with the situation happening on the centralized social media platform such as facebook, instagram, twitter, blogs and so on.

More over, they are fed up with the negative contents shared there. Having interaction in those social media which are now rife with hate speech and plagiarism is truly wasting time. There is nothing earn from this interaction except like, comment, popularity and also negativity. While in steemit? This new platform comes up and offers some good opportunities!

I would say that Steemit 'Republic' is a Land of Hope!
Steemit comes with the support of bockchain technology that ensures the transparency of data, and make it difficult or even impossible to manipulate. It is also a land to contribute positivity, enriching useful content which of course free from plagiarism. Based on this, no wonder to see lots of netizen are moving to this 'republic' since they are frustrated facing the negativity on those centralized social media.

Steemit is not only invites the author, writer or blogger, but also welcome other content creators such as video maker, photographer, painter and others to contribute their creativities to share on steemit. Moreover, the most unique thing from steemit platform is its rewards! Yes, unlike the centralized social media, which is just give us the space for interaction, earning like and comment plus popularity if our interaction get the most, steemit is different!

Steemit rewards its content creators (steemians) for anykind of their contribution. This is what make this platform different from those centralized social media and blogging platform. The rewards is in the form of cryptocurrency (SBD, Steem and Steem Power), and of course these bring a new HOPE that for sure makes people feeling excited and enthusiastic to participate in.

But, anyway, this HOPE, of course, is not a single click action to be reached!

Steemit Republic in Real Life.

Dreams don't work unless we do the efforts to achieve them! Hope just will be a hope unless we put efforts to make it comes true. Yes, this quote is applied to any kind of situation.

As applied in real life, to be steady living in steemit republic, steemians also need to do the effort and struggle to keep learning in upgrading themselves. As blockchain technology will continue to grow rapidly, we will be left far behind if we just dwell on unimportant discussions as to why A got a lot of votes, even though the article is so 'so so', while the B's good article quality only gets a little vote. Or contrast other small things that are not qualified.

As living in the real world, so that in the steemit republic. If our focus is only to get upvotes to earn the crypto, so we have to be ready for the disappointment! Why? Because as a newbie we will face the reality, where some or most of the articles we shared will not have upvote as we wish. So how to solved this problem?

Learn. Learn. Adapting and Understanding the rule then go.

Yes, as living in the real world. We need to understand the rule applied there so that we can be play safer, easy and comfortably there. So does in steemit. Learning the FAQ, steem whitepaper, steem bluepaper and SMT whitepaper will be a very helpful and is a very good start in surfing safely in steemit.

Moreover, joining the steemit community (KSI= The Indonesian Steemit Community, for instance) will also very helpful since the communities are built to support its member to grow bigger and smarter in order to achieve a better life.

Yes, 'living' in the steemit platform is truly need effort and consistency to struggle enough in achieving the goal. Especially when we have to encounter the obstacles such as the decline in the value of the currency, the resistance of the government that does not believe in this currency, and so on. This issues, of course being the lack to move forward, and made lots of steemians faced the disappointment.

More effort from us in promoting and campaigning about the good opportunity of this steem blockchain technology as well as trying to grow it positively will be very helpful. Let's start producing a good and clear content about it, so that we will help more people to understand about the positivity of steemit to get more people expend their activities here, on the land of HOPE.
