[The Clouds Fall] , 30 Day Haiku Challenge and Thoughts on Steemit

I am still a relative newbie here on steemit. But I am, so I think, a seasoned social media denizen. This is just my first week on here and I already love it. There is no advertising; the spammers are few and not all that bothersome. I speak in comparison to other sites. Those growing pains, limited Voting Power and Bandwidth when we first sign up, allow a growth that is straight and tall. Our water doesn't get polluted. I feel I am part of building something special. And I am rewarded for my time with appreciation from my peers and of course steem. I am given a share in the growth.

Steem is not like other cryptocurrency. It is backed my more than an idea and a block-chain. It is backed by us, the people. Not to get too revolutionary on you, but the more faith and persistence we give steemit, the more value steem will have. The cryptocurrency market is falling at the moment, as the value of bitcoin is corrected. We all knew it was too high. Bitcoin is a behemoth. It will pull us all down for a while as it sinks. But not forever. It is affecting traditional markets too.

Steem has a whole lot more pulling it back up. US, you and me. We are doers and thinkers and contributors. We are a growing economy. We are the REAL thing.

Keep steeming and we will keep this boat afloat.
