The essence of "The Diary Game"- 05/30/2020

Today, I will not write about my own Diary, rather I will explain to you all about "the essence of the diary game" and how it could be a game-changer for Steem Blockchain and how this initiative can address a large spectrum of common middle-class people here in this community.

Let's go back to the old way of writing a diary in which one generally writes a Diary off-line. Its generally a sweet, short briefing of the daily activities, feelings, objective or experience, etc.

An off-line diary is also an asset and everyone takes care of it, in general. It is very local in nature. It is limited for your own consumption only as it does not have a way to attract engagement. But a physical diary can get stolen, can catch fire, etc. Put simply, it is vulnerable to get damaged depending upon the nature of the disaster it is subjected to.

With the evolution of technology, we have been ushered into the digital era. And now we used to write on-line instead of off-line. This can be in the form of a blog. It is very easy, very fast and most importantly now it is globally stored. It is not limited to own consumption only, rather it is up for engagement with others. Based on what you put in your diary, a reader can engage with you.

But a digital online diary may get censored if you are using a centralized platform. It is not immutable. However, in the 21st century, we also have a technology very popularly known as Blockchain technology, where you can immutably record your diary. It is not subjected to any kind of theft, damage, etc. It is available with 100% uptime. It is ubiquitous. You can access your diary at any place in the world at the same time.

What if I say, you can write your diary immutably in Blockchain platform like Steem Blockchain yet you earn daily as the community initiative will earn you some reward. That's what #thediarygame is all about in Steem Blockchain.

Let's further delve dipper into its benefits.

#thediarygame has a therapeutic effect

Every day humans experience sadness, happiness, pain, anger, agony, etc. In an optimistic situation, humans have the tendency to live with those happy moments. In a pessimistic situation, humans try to get rid of sadness and want to come out of it.

Those who live in the present without distractions can manage their life very well. Further, when you pen down your feelings into words, maybe in a blog or in a journal, it is a way to allow the pain to flow out of your emotions and make you feel better.

It has a similar effect as "healing". So #thediarygame is the digital immutable way of therapeutic effect for people who want to pen down their feelings in a blockchain platform like Steem. You would also get responses who come across your feelings and further engagement can heal you better. Nonetheless, you would earn something.

#thediarygame has psychological benefits

Writing a personal diary online in a blockchain platform like Steem is a way of expression. This way you relate better to your social circle, ultimately you feel better at the end of the day. Yet you earn something.

Instead of expressing their social anxieties and concerns in a private diary, for a student especially, if he writes in #thediarygame in Steem Blockchain, he can get rid of the anxieties and become self-sufficient by earning from it. Moreover, it is immutably recorded in Blockchain. So a regular habit of writing #thediarygame has a strong positive effect on the well-being of such people.

#thediarygame lowers the barrier to entry

Let's face a fact-- The average common man feels that Blockchain has a steep learning curve. Let's admit it, then only we can find a solution. Further, when we get into blockchain-based social blogging, people feel they have to possess some special skills in this platform to succeed.

But when you find an initiative like #thediarygame, it suddenly looks an easy task for all. Indeed it is everyone's cup of tea and I am sure the engagement in such an initiative comes easily without putting any extra effort. Put simply, it lowers the barrier to entry.

We need to make this platform as easy as someone use Facebook. So for a common average internet user, it should feel like an easy task. In that context #thediarygame is something that encourages all to participate.
