RE: ⏺ Investing in Steemit, not Steem! Part 2
I think you pointed out one of the most important things of Steemit - because Steemit is more than STEEM and money.
My effort, and my energy are being put into the platform, not the currency. I believe in this community, and I have a big vision for what is to come.
I am not sure if you've already seen @spectacles, but maybe it can help you out a bit when it comes to your followers! Looks like you got some sweet investors on your blog!
It's so true hey. Also intriguing, because I never felt this way about the 'giving' approach before I came across this platform. I used to be very monetary in my goals and general thinking, but now thing are completely 180-degrees different :)
I actually have never seen that site before, but thanks for that! Really cool to see all these third-party resources to make our lives easier. Thanks for your kind words too! :)
Hope you're well!
That's true! For example, on Instagram one simply wants to get as much likes as possible and I would generally do not care much about my followers - I just want to share my own stuff.
However, it works different with Steemit. That's also why we have curation rewards (and you get rewarded more if you upvote the right posts). In addition to that, Steemit has more relations (if you comment and upvote me a lot, I am willing to do the same - ofcourse if the content interests me that is).
Also, with Steemit you can help people out, which makes you also feel good about yourself (I am raising awareness for this and that, all payout will be send to charity).
Another factor is STEEM ofcourse, not the main one, but still plays a role. We are all dependant on STEEM, and if we start selling all at once, it will crash. If we buy at once, it will go up like crazy. All of us together hold the value and are somewhat responsible for this too, which also makes you feel like you're a part of something bigger.
You're welcome :) We're continuously working on it so if you have any suggestions, please let me know and we can make it happen!
I am well, looking forward to 6PM (which is in 40 mins) so I can go home again! How are you?
Really nicely explained my friend. I totally agree with all your points, as they are very accurate.
It's very true. I think it gives many people a sense of being apart of something bigger than themselves. Also the fact that powerdowns takes so long is great, which discourages many people from wanting to withdraw!
Wait.. So.. You helped design that site? :D
Oh okay. So where were you that you wanted to get home? :)
I'm always doing fantastic thanks!!
I couldn't agree more! But I also think that the system has something disregarding - it is hard for people to finally get some value for their posts. You have to push through and keep on working on your engagement, followers and your own posts.
Haha, both the concept and the design are mine :) @pilcrow is my amazing developer and together we built @spectacles!
And I was at work!
