Hello @runicar. I am Bristena and I'm from Romania, but I live in London. I totally understand how frustrating it is to live in a country like yours with a lot of corruption, Romania is the same. We have teachers and doctors whose results at their final exams are 4 out of 10, but they got the money and the relations that brought them their jobs. It's sad, but it's true.
Anyway, the good news is that we have Steemit. I fully support your efforts to bring it to the wider community, congratulations!! You have an amazing heart. I have no doubt that your success is going to help others succeed as well, and this is creating further ripples/Domino effect.
I am a minnow myself, but luckily enough my first few posts have fared quite well. If you have some time and would like to check me out, here is my introduce yourself post https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@bristena94/introducing-diaryofafreespirit
I am following you, curious to see what projects you will continue to develop and hopefully get onboard some of them. Best wishes!!!
P.S. I'm also 23 years old :)
What's frustrating is that it's happening everywhere and the sheeple don't care about it and won't do anything to stop or fight it.
The system of money in general is made to favor the immoral and those who are willing to hurt someone to make personal profits. Because in this kind of system for you to gain something, another person has to loose it. Meaning that if you are up, someone is exactly the same going down. And the higher you are the more people you push into poverty.
And our polititians don't care as they abuse their powers the most. They are all high ranking masons or well connected families or sent to power from Bruxelles.
Always glad to meet like-minded people on Steemit :)
Read your intro, great job. Steemit truly can change your life if you put in the needed effort and with some luck you will be successfull in no time. Also the fact that our Countries are so shitty and have such bad currencies, our SBD are truly valuable.
P.S try don't spend anything now, just convert SBD into SP. Steem is going to explode soon and the more you get by then the better :)
Wish you much success on Steemit. Cheers!
Thanks for the advice! I'm not spending anything at the moment indeed. I just need to get my head around how all these coins work. I'm just focusing on writing and striking connections with people. Feeling a bit overwhelmed with the crypto world but I'm sure I'll wrap my head around it soon. Much success for you too!!
You should, it's expected we will go as high as 100$ per Steem this year :)
I know how it can feel, that's exactly what I was thinking when I first found out about crypto 5 years ago, but sadly I had no cash to invest then -.-
wow that's a lot indeed! I don't have much to invest either now, but it'll grow in time, I am very positive :)
