RE: A Chat With A Steemit Inc Developer and A Whale…..SteemFest CountDown and Giveaway Winners…..This Week On Steemit……… SteemMag – Steemit’s Weekend Digest #11 p.2
Great job on the magazine. As always great information and new people to follow. Thanks for your generosity in helping many (myself included) with tickets to steemfest. Hard work from people like you and those who really have a passion not only to make steemit more valuable, but to more make a impact on peoples lives is what will set steemit apart.
The more selfless we become, the more we all benefit. Helping someone with a suggestion or idea is often a terrible sin in corporate America because someone might steal that idea and exploit it. Here it's encouraged, because while we can make money, the most important thing is people. Money can be replaced, but there is only one of each of us.
This! You always inspire me with your words.. And it was so awesome getting to interact with you.
Thank you @jacor. I feel that interaction in the comments is truly one of the best parts of this platform along with getting to know some creative people.
Engaging people in respectful conversation has changed my opinion on topics more than once as well. I'm far more likely to listen to someone who approaches thoughtfully from a different viewpoint than those who shout the other side is wrong from their soapbox.
It truly makes steemit one of the most valuable platforms, not only because comments can make money, but the ability to talk and correspond allows people to then collaborate and also share passions with each other, whether that be sports, art, travel, difficult life experiences etc. I haven't seen anything quite like it on any other social media platform and the reputation system is a very large part of this.
There will be no trolls at steemfest (can you imagine a troll spending money to attend a conference and revealing their identity haha?) I see the price of steem and steem dollars rising as people are able to meet face to face at steemfest, collaborate and have some of the best and brightest, most dedicated bloggers (that are able to attend) in one place learning, experiencing, and building friendships together.
Couldn't think of a better idea and have to give @roelandp a big shoutout for putting this together, along with all who are helping and generously allowing all who wish to attend the ability to attend regardless of financial status.
I get excited to tell people what a cool community steemit has. You can blog about whatever interests you and make money? What could be cooler than that.
Congrats on the tickets @benjmiller222 !!
