RE: How Steemit Is Rewiring My Brain To Become A Better Person: A Journey From Being A Self-Centered Scrooge To Community-Loving Servant In 21 Days
Very insightful article. I got to admit, I had came to this site with the same mentality. More importantly though, I had always love writing and the act of expression but have repressed it for more "stable" career paths, and a really small (or rather consciously small) part of me wanted to go back and explore what I love.
After my first post (disclaimer: right now also my only), I felt my content isn't quite reaching out to people. And I thought that I should scour the posts on how to "game the system", so to speak.
I am glad that I stumbled into your article. It sort of reinforce into me that I have ideas that I want to materialise, I have stories I want to write. If I focus on just the rewards, I'm going to burn out on this site fast. Worse, I may conclude that writing is not for me.
Writing elsewhere, my hope of being rewarded ain't great either, but it is quite surprising how the small potential for great rewards can sway me into focusing on the wrong stuff.
Kudos mate.
A champion attitude... 😎🏆
I've had a similar experience with crypto since i've studied it over the years. It is very community orientated with very fast feedback loops for learning. If you read the steemit whitepaper, you quickly realize it is gold. They have been through a lot themselves getting this amazing platform operational and have made a lot of discoveries along the way. Recently, I've realized also that humans really don't know what we are. Are we a "language" or a syntax in the universe that is capable of seeing only certain language or syntax layers. An important point that I've discovered in the last year is the fact that we need to keep processing information through our own sphere to keep our minds growing and producing value for the whole network that we are a part of. You can start to see that Steemit has helped this learning as well.
