A month ago I wrote a post explaining a loss on Forex and how Steemit may help me recover; turns out it did.
Great Scott!
I spent less time worried about monetary charts and more time worrying about Steemit this month. In doing so, I was able to net $1068.868 in author rewards (Steem, SBD, & SP), and although $300 USD was made for and donated to charity, I was still able to progress in every way possible on Steemit!
My rep has increased from 58 to 62; Steem Power has increased from 834 SP to 1836 SP; Followers increased by 49. Based on my Steempower, I am now ranked within the top 1400 Steemit users. All in one month!
"If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour... you're gonna see some serious shit."
More time for Steemit!
I have a few projects that I'm working on here. If you haven't heard I've created a Steemit music curation group which helps support Musicians and resteems studio quality music releases on Steemit. I've also been a part of the Steemsquad group, but due to lack of communication between moderators, I won't be supporting the group any longer.
There's a whole list of different Steemit post ideas sitting next to me right now which keeps getting bigger by the day, so my first goal will be to cross off some of those topics. I want to perfect my blog further so that it becomes a place for all walks of life.
One more thing...
For the people who are walking away from Steemit because of the falling price, there's a question you should be asking yourself... Do you enjoy eating shit for breakfast? Because that's exactly what your other social media feeds are feeding you.
Mark Zuckerberg is like Biff Tannen, whereas @ned is marty mcfly and @dan is Doc Brown. If we were picking teams I know exactly where I would stay. Fakebook hasn't done anything for me but censor the exact same content that I get paid for posting here, and so I'm forever grateful to be here. I've lost count of the times I've said thanks to our developers in my posts.
Steemit has created the ultimate social media platform, and yet the monetary incentive has people thinking improvidently. I'm sick of having to explain how the site is still in beta and that this is still a minimal product. Add in the fact that Steem markets are popping up, including a hospital that accepts Steem, it seems people just can't wrap their heads around how game changing this newly found social networking economy is.
Facebook has no value other than the value its users give it. What do you think would happen if all the Facebook users disappeared over night? It would depreciate. The same thing happens to the price of Steem when you walk away(except Steem also has a developing market). You, the user, give this platform its value; You and your content. So, why on earth would you walk away and let the price fall if your only intention here is to make money? It seems illogical for any of us to walk away, at least not until something similar comes along.
And for those of you who are new here, leave your expectations at the door because this place is unprecedented.
Anyway, if there's an almanac for social media websites ten years from now, Steemit would by far have the best stats in the competition. Don't be silly and bet on the wrong platform!
