Thank you @rubencress! I'm glad I had the honour of being the first to welcome you to Steemit. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside. Given our SP differential, though, I am perplexed at your decision to send me your Steem instead of powering it up yourself. You need it more than I do!
Since you say "never refuse a gift," though... I will graciously accept it, power it up, and use it to help me keep upvoting all this awesome content you've been creating for our platform.
Good luck on your quest to one day outrank @acidyo in vesting shares. Maybe if we team up and sell all of our marketable organs, we can take him down together :)
Well... that's what the after effects could be whenever you welcome a stranger. I hope that a lot of people here on Steemit will remember and realize to whom they 'own' their ' successes' to, small or big.
I know I could use the Steem to power-up myself, I also know that there are a lot of people that could use that 1 Steem even more than you or me. The main reason that I'm giving this to you, and all the other people mentioned above, is mostly because the steps that I took, helped me out a lot. This 'experience' is what I can offer to newcomers, heck, I'm a newcomer myself. The Steem that I have sent, is just a simple symbolic gesture to show that you can achieve much more with 'giving' than only thinking/focussing on receiving. And with giving, I mean; welcoming a stranger, asking for help, acknowledging your mistakes, and so on.
We all 'need money' to survive in this dualistic world we live in. You are either poor or rich. I think that the first focus most people have here on Steemit, is being filtered because of the seduction of 'money'. If you limit yourself because you think/feel/believe you do not earn enough on Steemit, then there is less room for the positive aspects of your self-esteem (improvement/motivation/inspiration/dedication) and more room for negativity (failure/regret/disappointment, and that is unhealthy for the mind).
Keep doing what you're doing, you have been a great help to me.
Damn, stupid contest didn't make the cut. So sad.
What contest, the crayon contest? :-D
I was thinking SYTT.
Hey Ruben, this was an amazing read. Glad that @acidyo restemeed you and that's how I found you. Happily following you. People with true values are a blessing in all aspects of life, in all platforms! Much Love brother
Hey Janka, thank you so much for your kind words. Just came across this comment. Nice to meet you, looking forward to seeing more of your artwork, they look madddd! <3
Thanks a lot bro, happy to hear that you like my art! Cheers to new friends :)
Wow! Ruben, Thank you for inviting and helping me in steemit. Youre an inspiration to everyone specially to the newbies.
No problem! When will I see your first beach pictures just so you can make me jealous? ^^
Good tips. Such a high up-vote at just 50 reputation is a big deal. You ought to be a great curator from what I read. Some curation tips would help.
I have limited areas of expertise and thus don't have much to write about. Curation is my best shot here.
Hey there, thanks for digging in. Since I am new to the platform I have not yet encouraged myself to take a deeper look into the curation part of Steemit, but instead, I have focussed on the quality of my posts. I am still not sure how rewarding based on curation is being calculated (still learning). But what I do know, if I am not mistaken, is that within the first 30 minutes after posting, your upvote is given a penalty on your own curation reward, which means that a cut of the 25% curation reward-pool, is added to the author reward-pool instead (which is not a bad thing to do if you consider that the post is valuable and the author him/herself is currently undervalued).
Absolutely correct. We don't want to get into details of the algorithm. You have got the gist of it and that's more than enough as a user.
Haha, yeah @acidyo is known for them big upvotes. Happy for you. :)
I think I shall vote for OCD-Witness as well, thanks for sharing.
Yeah you def. should vote for OCD :)
2 weeks in here and already this far? Good job ! ^^
There probably isn't many things that I can help you with except maybe cannabis related ones :D Anyhow, I'm gonna follow you for now and see what you come up with !
I like Steemit as a social media but I want to see more real people, not just some fake ass copypaste-shit.. BE ORIGINAL man !
Tickling the 4th week now, nice job on doing the black and white series. Haha yeah, originality is easy if you focus on the right thing. I hope I can teach you more about photography in the future on Steemit.
Thanks ! I just took them with my phone and I don't know much about photography but nice to hear that someone liked them ! :)
I'm glad to see you doing well on the site :) And yeah, you're doing better than most, you'll get there quick!
I'm pretty happy about it as well, it went pretty fast yeah... Didn't expect that to happen to be honest. Do you have the supplies yet to create the 'secret Steemit project?'...
No, not yet, but i figured out what to buy. I found that it's actually better to buy it through uni, but unfortunately the process isn't exactly fast -.-
I will patiently wait for it! Im really looking forward to it.
Hehe, me too dude, me too :D
Any color preference?
I think original colors with transparency would be the way to go. Would be pretttyyy tricky to post process though!
oh yeah, keep rubbing it in, will you? ;) Thanx for the Steem, and for the friendly torture!
Hands down, you felt guilt, but do not worry, I am a friendly foe.
Beautiful post my fellow photographer.. I'm a newbie too and its been great since joining this platform... I haven't tried chatting yet but i will from now on... Thanks for the insights.. Following u now
You're more than welcome! And the journey is just getting started right?
Yes it is... Hoping for the best...
