RE: My First Cash Out on Steemit - Motivation Blast!
EXACTLY, and although we have not iterated all the rules YET,
POWER-DOWNS ARE FORBIDDEN IN MBC!
If you want to stay in MBC that is... We are still working on the rules of the outfit, but the officers and I are working hard to help everyone BUILD an Account that will make some REAL MONEY, and as an example, I busted my a$$ and put in BTC, ETH and bought as much Steem as I could around $1 and it is paying off. I am reinvesting these funds back into the community, and as far as my plankton and minnow friends in MBC go, cashing out now is just cutting future gains. We have not discussed what to do with SBD's earned, but I have not even cashed out a single SBD. I have bought votes from bots, but that is an investment.
I STRONGLY DISCOURAGE CASHING OUT, AND STRONGLY _ENCOURAGE _ POWERING UP ALL FUNDS. Removing one SBD now is like losing 100 SBD in a year... trust me in this!
Thanks for starting the common sense, @calumam, and @fycee I hope you see this, I will reply under your post also... @eaglespirit will be here in a bit to give her 2¢ so prepare yourself ;)
We HAVE STATED THE MBC Group policies, and therefore people will be KICKED and BANNED!
These rules are pinned in the group and have been brought to everyone's attention. The Officer's will have to check everyone's account now and if you are caught, do not scratch your heads and wonder why ... BYE BYE!!
Officers of MBC.

After speaking with @fycee in our community group BuddyUP, he made it clear to me that selling SBD wasn't intended for the purpose of getting the money.
He was demonstrating that it CAN be done and it is possible. I understand his reasoning and I believe it's a smart move.
He is showing people the potential money he can make.
Although I totally agree with @minnowbootcamp, the value of STEEM in a years time will 10x at least with possibilities of it nearing 100X. Just depends entirely on the apps, people and publicity that STEEM gets. Regardless, if you want to power down or withdraw SBD, I don't have any judgements, it's your money.
Hello there @calumam , Thank you so much for backing me up. I will try to be honest. I will be very hypocrite if I would state here that I do not need the money and just do steeming for fun and powerup purpose only. Yes, holding steem and SBD is clearly gonna be in the moon after quite some tome. I have a few lines here when I encourage some people to Take Steemit to the moon and act like whales already.
I have just had a realization that the volume of iinter steem blockchain is a determinant to pump the exchange price of SBD / Steem to fiat. It is also the same thing as trading to other altcoins. Though the PRINCIPLE that we should always have is to hold steem/SBD because it will soon have an unimaginable price that will surely bewildered all of us, WE also need to trade a few of our SBD/ Steem to other altcoins (therefore, a cash-out would most likely be the result) It also adds up to the volume of SBD/steem being exchanged to other altcoins. with this, I am happy that you do saw the goodness inside my heart that I just really wanted to share OUR WORLD to my fellow empowr group that it only takes a week before we could realize our fruits of our labor. In which it will never happen in the previous blogging site where we put our efforts much but haven't received a cent in my one year being active. I also reach out to every newbie and motivate them that we do have found a great way to end poverty! - I mean it! I claim it will happen man!
#minnowbootcamp , I am ready for your verdict. I just hope this will not affect my reputation and our fellow members will just let it pass and just move on. If you needed to be really stern with a not yet - iterated rules. I am pleading to give me another chance and this will be my last cash out - let's say the next one will be in a year. A bootcamp is always stern with the rules. But still considerate with the members as long as you really deserve to be immersed with the team. Thank you everyone!
hi there, the title is "my first cash out," LOL
so how is that just the possibility. according the MBC he stated fycee was not yet in the MBC program so that makes this entire convo moot. However, it will be stated that once one is in MBC there is not cashing out or just do not join the program. exactly regarding with what one does with one's own money, however OUR program does not allow for the cashing out.
Can I just ask, what is the purpose of setting a rule like that? Do you take responsibility for the financial decisions people make?
Just wondering.
so the MBC is a program to assist people to make it to 1k sp. do you know about the program itself? that may be the reason for your confusion. it is not a matter of people cashing out, it is a matter of people putting money into a pot and to keep cashing out instead of reaching 1k sp. does that make more sense?
I understand the incentive yes. Do you guys teach your members how to create quality content?
that is a very good question. this is a subject another officer and i have discussed many times with @minnowbootcamp and we are trying to get the ground rules together and then focus on the content. that is something of a big deal with me, as i prefer original, raw and fresh content on steemit. there is a lot of plagiarism and shit posts going on and i would prefer this program to have a reputation for quality.
@calumam and @eaglespirit with due respect to the both of you, I already acknowledge that I am not longer a member because ignorance to the rule is not an exemption. As long as it will not be taken against me that I was just glad I have proven this site is legit with my own eyes is already enough and made me happy. Thank you @calumam for trying to be on my side. They really do have a point. A rule is a rule and I was under their sovereignty the time the cash out was done. This link was supposedly a motivation to everybody who were not able to cash out yet. But then seeing your comments would make them confused on why a cash out is not encouraged. Anyway, I am glad my post was able to catch the attention of great people like you. Making my steemit life more intense :) Chill! Will enjoy another cash out then! Hahahaha
We are doing a lot of work to help people build a Steemit account, First and Foremost. If they do nt want to participate in the Full On Boot Camp program, there is the MEPS Program where we allow them to stay in, work with us and benefit from our vote-sharing programs and still cash out on occasion. We have limited space atm and just believe that our efforts would be better directed to help the small fishes in the system become Larger. Our rules are actually less stringent than most of the Minnow Programs out there. MANY/MOST will not let them use Bots nor Delegate SP to Investments/friends. Both items can be very beneficial to the new Steemians in Growth. We allow BOTH. What we do not allow is the things that are Detrimental to Growth. If I have a Boot-Camper come to me and say "Look, I have this or that need in my life, and it is financial, I need to cash out" Well, Guess what? They can temporarily move to MEPS and do their thing. We do not kick them out. But we need to know, and this is all in writing now. I could see from the post that Fycee was basically making a Proof-of-Concept and he is not actually enrolled in really ANYTHING yet, so This was just a wake up call for all of us. I'm actually glad we have this opportunity to set things straight before the fact.
I am sorry if I have broken any rules stipulated by the team.
I will still be a very happy steemian who was able to prove that steemit is a great platform to earn from your efforts!
we are figuring out what to do and make sure people understand the MBC rules. according to MBC you were not yet in the program so no worries. however, if you choose and are accepted into MBC then that would be something to consider. sorry for the confusion! :)
