Tubthumping, yes! We get knocked down, but we get up again, they're never going to keep us down :)
This is really corny, and embarrassing to admit but I loved the movie A Cinderella story when it came out (yes, yes, that's the one with lizzy mcguire from disney and chad something or other from one tree hill) And when I was reading this post the quote from the wall of her dad's diner popped in my head. "Don't let the fear of losing keep you from playing the game". At least I think that's what it said, lol.
It's always great when someone less fortunate than us reminds us that all in all things are pretty good. I know I told you way early on that no matter what happened with steemit I would never regret being here simply for having made some of the greatest friends on the planet.
Of course it's nice when a thirty dollar post is actually worth three hundred lol.
Hope you're having a fantastic time in S. Korea my brother from another :)
Oh huh.. I remember replying to this while I was in South Korea. It's weird that there are no replies here. I didn't get a chance to watch that (or I avoided it like the plague when it came out) but that's such a cool quote. It goes hand in hand with "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take".
Ditto on the not regretting because of the connections made. I couldn't imagine my life moving forward without you @meesterboom and the other friends I've made here. Currently, a thirty dollar post is now only worth 150, but yeah haha! When I was away, STEEM rose to great heights, I wonder if it's in any way correlated to my absence.
oh have no fear, it will rise again. In fact, it will go much, much higher. Have you heard about the porn coin? Vice I think. Apparently people will get paid in vice to watch porn, and steemit is going to to release it, so far they're saying that we each get a certain amount for free based on our sp. I can't remember if it's one for one, but if it is, holy shit that's going to be worth some serious bank. yes it's a little...tacky, seedy, whatever you want to call it, that it's based on that (though with the scenes in my books I really don't have room to judge) but there's no denying that pornography is one of, if not the largest industry in the world. And we don't have to watch anything to get them, because we're just cool ass early adopters who are being rewarded for being cool ass early adopters lol. And that's just the tip of the iceberg- these smart tokens, they're going to be HUGE. Or at least some of them will be, and either way their connection to steem is going to bring in new users and sky rocket the price again. And there's something else on the horizon, I now forget what Howie said it was, but he's talking like we're going to have millions of users pouring into the platform because of it. At leasat. Hold on to you skivvies, lol, we're going for a major ride.
I've always trusted Howie's intuition because in the twenty plus years I've known him he has NEVER been wrong about the big things. Sometimes his timing is a bit off, which he always says up front- could be as early as such and such or not until such and such, but every damn time he hits that nail hard on the head. So if he says steem is his number one pick for all of these reasons, hell yeah man. You and I and boom will not only meet, we will meet in fucking style. And remember what I said before you go pointing out that you've got half as much sp as me- as I have half as much as the boom which bothers me Not at All lol) there are other coins coming our way, falling right out of the sky into our laps.
Dude, you seriously said 30 is only worth 150...think about that fora moment. Because I remember a time when a 30 dollar post was worth fifty cents, so a hundred fifty bucks that is NOT something to be discouraged by, by any means, nevermind what I know is going to happen later on.
And stop doing the self-fulfilling prophecy thing. You are not cursed...unless you believe you are, so stop fucking believing that shit my brother that I adore!! I order you (lol) to say that you are blessed, that luck is now finding its way to you, say it until you know it's true, the year of what did you call it? rejuvenation? Man, you have awesome friends who adore you, a woman you love who loves you in return, you were wise enough to listen to an old boss and jump on a train before almost anyone else knew about it,and it's all going to pay off in big fucking dividends...all you have to do is believe it and let it. (By the way, my dad was dying, and then did die while steem rose to those great heights, and I dropped off my posting significantly when I was posting a consistent once a day before, and not once did I think that it was some kind of bad omen. It's just that sometimes shit happens. But I also know that great things happen too. It's the balance of this place. Take the hits when they come, pay for it as you go, and accept that the good will come with the bad, and vice versa.
You are loved. You are awesome. You no longer need that pesky self doubter sitting on your shoulder, flick that fucker off. Replace it with the uplifter that's just patiently waiting for its turn.
I AM NOT ONLY BLESSED, I'M [HASHTAG] BLESSED!!!
That fucker has been flicked, don't DREEM it's over! It's actually The Year of Resilience, so expect a lot of getting back up after getting knocked down. No use looking back at what could've been, it's time to just look forward to the future. I am hopeful for big things, and if the Seer of Seneca (Howie) says we're heading for the stars, then I'm buying myself a few pairs of astro suits! When you, Boomer and I meet, we would be above our own individual yachts, sipping those fancy wines with gold flakes haha!
I have heard of the Vice coin, I just didn't know that it was going to be called Porn Coin haha! That's actually quite innovative. I, at least, hope that the performers themselves get paid with the earnings from that. I do agree with porn being big business. Even with all the seedy dealings, porn sites actually have cutting edge technology when it comes to the backend stuff and security. Some of the best programmers apparently work on porn sites, so that's a cool trivia haha!
