Hello everyone!

Today marks my 50th day in Steemit! Thank you everyone who has been here for me and new friends I have got to know and appreciate!

Although I am still a minnow growing up to a more potential role I can see the warmth of the community and the its potential to go beyond what it is right now to most people’s minds:

A Social Network that Pays

 
Through this 50-day journey I have seen many people, who are creative, supportive, and like myself equally having financial challenges in life.

Medical conditions, hospital bills, and let’s look at the larger scale; national pandemic.

And we also see nations that are struggling towards possible national pandemic as well; which I pray REALLY hard many will be able to avoid such a trial in life, if not, be ready enough to go through it.

So looking back at Steemit, such a wonderful place to be, a warm community, the fun of content creating and generating possible income for the long run, it is all so dandy at the moment.

(not to mention counterfeiters… which I really hope they will wake up from that because it will not work in the long run)

But is this it?

Is this what Steemit’s full potential is?

Blog, earn, withdraw.

It’s all about the money, babe.

Is it?

 
It can’t be, because otherwise there will not be so many developers working so hard to make Steemit more effective.

• I see the steem power’s potential to generate probable income for others
• I see the transfer system so smooth and quick and transparent for quick transfer of money
• I even see potential stores that are coming up soon that could possibly create a hassle free buy and sell environment.

No. Steemit is not just a money tree

If we all understand the concept of decentralization and community support, we can help each other to evolve Steemit into an ecosystem that we no longer worry about withdrawals anymore.

But this is a long term vision, where short term gain could happen in times of need. It cannot work without a community that collaborates; but how many out there is ready for the long run?

I must confess I have my short term goal here too that by the end of the year I could get something out here so that I can prepare to help my parents, but I also am inspired to stay and help (within my means) to create a long term sustainable ecosystem along the way.

How about you? Would you stay on to make steemit grow further or this is just your short term goal – as an alternative income source? All comments here are valued and I will totally respect and appreciate your point of view. No condemnation here.

Ps: If we still have a chance to evolve this environment to something that could help elevate nations like Venezuela or even the suffering Middle East, in the most proper way, maybe that is not a bad thing at all to leave such a legacy behind when our journey here is completed.

For me it has to start with ground zero, where I am currently at – Malaysia.

So for any Steem-ians who are located in Malaysia who see this place as something more, come and join me at my discord and let’s brainstorm together towards something beyond!

Anyone who already started a similar vision, let’s discuss! I want to hear more from you and see if there is any way we can collaborate in the future!
