STEEMIT Seems To Be Kicking ASS Again

A few weeks back there was that temporary reduced payouts deal, and for a while there was a kind of down feeling, like the steemit project was going to fail, despite the fact that the price of STEEM had just rallied unlike it'd done in months.

But now, things are starting to look good again. I'm starting to see posts with multiple hundreds of dollars in payout. Hopefully, soon, we'll start to see those sweet days of multiple thousands of dollars in payout!

Do you guys remember that? The whole makeup tutorial deal? I would see people posting about quitting their day jobs to do steemit full-time. It was exciting, and a real opportunity for content creators.

Well, I'm going to guess that it'll be that time again soon, and those of us who have stuck around for the last 6 months or so, diligently posting, curating, commenting, and collecting STEEM while it was cheap, will see the rewards we deserve for our loyalty and patience.

Steemit has made some good moves lately, not the least of which is hiring a VP of Marketing, Mitchell Loureiro, who I recommend you watch in his interview with @bitcoinmeister HERE.

I've watched as my wallet has increased in value more that twice what it was a month and a half ago. And just today I broke the 1,600 SP mark and surpassed 200 followers -- I don't think that's a technically relevant, but it means something to me, and I appreciate all of YOU for helping me get there!

I truly see user-generated-currencies as the way out for millions of people who feel stuck in a financial system that has trapped them and their families in debt slavery and inflation. I talk about that in my latest YouTube video here:

I have seen people criticize Steemit for what they see as flaws in the STEEM protocol, or mismanagement of the site, or question the ethics of the currency itself, but my experience -- in real life -- is that Steemit actually pays! I've seen internet scams since the late 90s, websites or online programs that promise customers the moon and more if they'll just sign up for a monthly membership, it's only $29.99! It's always a scam.

Steemit is not a scam. It's real. I've proven that myself by having never spent a penny on this thing yet earning hundreds of dollars in value from it, simply by contributing my time and creativity. I normally try to avoid the circle-jerk here, but this is an exciting project to me, and sometimes I'll allow myself to share that excitement lol.

Oh, and also get a KeepKey if you love crypto -- I just noticed that they store Dash now, too. Let's see if we can get STEEM on there!
