Individuality Is The Power Behind The Future Of Steemit.

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

First and foremost this post is what it is, just sharing some thoughts about how Steemit has opened up an entire new dimension in life for me.

Now, many may be thinking "Here we go again, another I love Steemit post", well yes and no. I've never really been known for fitting in as far as doing things because others do them, hence this is why I am writing this post.

As a person who believes in individuality I have to admit that I am very surprised at the amount of tolerance out here on Steemit. Lets face facts, not everyone is a "writer", in fact the world would be totally boring if everyone was good at the same thing. However, we are all good at being ourselves. This is what Steemit is all about.

I can fully understand that the traditional "bloggers" and "writers" out there are used to doing things the traditional way. However, Steemit is not just a "blogging" platform, it is in fact a social network of people. A social network of individuals. A social network that incorporates crypto, hence making it unique in every which way. To add to this individuality of this social network it is decentralized using blockchain technology. Hence making it not only unique in every which way as far as social networking is concerned but also one of the most up to date in technology.

Now, this is pretty much saying what many if not most already know, but it doesn't hurt to hear/read it again so as to understand what angle people are taking when getting to this stage in their "being" here on Steemit goes.
I've noticed that many have still not figured it out.

Steemit is not like any other social network out there. (full stop, dot, period)

We can express out individuality here in our own individual ways and still be equals as far as our right to expressing ourselves goes.

Yes, there are those that wish to abuse this opportunity, there are those who wish to control things out there, yes there are many different characters out there, as in the real world, both good and bad.

Until some people figure it out, there shall be all sorts of misunderstandings as far as accepting peoples individuality goes, as is the case in real life too. So don't be shocked when you see things here that resemble the sheep and black sheep scenarios of the real world. After all behind each keyboard is a human being. A creature of habit.

Don't let anything get you down, because you are who you are, you do things the way you do them, you communicate the way that suits you and never let anyone make you change who you are.

As Steemit grows so too does the number of people who are very different to the "traditionalists" out there. So let things happen as time goes on, it only gets better and better as the number of users here gets larger in number.

As the Minnows of today become Dolphins, the Dolphins become Whales and so the process moves forwards and so too does the overall evolution of individuality on this platform.

Rewarding an individual is what gives all of us the ability to make this place greater than great.

Am I hooked?

Ohhhh yes I am, definitely, hook line and sinker.

Everything that I wrote in my intro on this post are the things that I have come to realize over the past 6 months here.

Everything prior to this sentence here confirms that there is no stopping Steemit as we the individuals are the power that stands behind the future of this platform.

Steem On!

I liked your thoughts about the individuality here.
Yes, this is precisely what motivates the steemit - individuality. It is she who makes Steemit special and different from all others - the quality and variety of content.
People here should be braver and express their thoughts, be more active and open.
This locomotive called Steemit is just gaining momentum :)
Thank you

People can feel better being themselves, and that is what happens when there is an environment of freedom as in Steemit.

With people from such remote places of the world here in Steemit, there is not a single way of being or behaving, nor patterns of behavior, only freedom to be yourself.

I enjoy Steemit I have seen lots of things come and go I want Steemit to stay!

Yes, there is nothing stopping Steemit. It is being built bigger every post. It's being built bigger with every new account. It's currently within the top 1400 website on the entire internet! @ironshield

Long live Steemit!
