1st - I'd like to thank @BernieSanders the benevolent would be president (if Hillary wouldn't have stolen his nomination π) for putting on #BernieBlackFriday!
2nd - I'd like to thank the SteemIt super hero and guardian angel @DJ123 for calling this #CircleJerk βοΈ to my attention and critiquing my posts so constructively.
Thank you π my SteemIan brother AGAIN for ALSO suggesting I change my tags to #BernieCyberMonday!
Which then brought me to @Steemed with his crazy #CircleJerkPileOn βοΈ βοΈ to add to the madnesss! π€ͺ π
When I finally decided to start researching bitcoin and blockchain technology and how it would financially behoove my family to start picking up on crypto currency well, quite naturally, the first place that I found was none other than SteemIt.com - which besides Bitcoin.com, CoinTelegraph.com & CoinDesk.com (which are incredibly informative) is THEE PLACE to get all of your info and education on crypto.
Although some on SteemIt may not like it, I must admit that I have also found some incredibly informative and educational articles through BitConnect's news section on their website Bitconnect.co/Bitcoin-News.
SteemIt has actually changed life in general by changing the way we network on social media kind of like how Tom changed the way we socialized and network PERIOD - by creating MySpace.
One could say that success on ANY social media platform largely depends on good content and good CURATION of good content, however, the difference between SteemIt and other networks like π Twitter, InstaGram, FaceBook & YouTube π (my links) is in the PAID π° π΄ π΅ incentive to produce and CURATE content.
So now, not only have I the incentive to produce content and HOPE that I will make money by people watching my videos enough to justify #YT paying me ad revenue for it but, I potentially get PAID just to write a blog or take a pic π· or to load a vid π₯ to D-Tube or some music πΌ to D-Sound interesting enough for a #whale π³ π (the gods of SteemIt) to applaud. πππ π
Ok, so go crazy π€ͺ dump a million dollars π΅ π΅ π΅ into Steem #Power πͺ and start blogging π¨βπ» like my life depends on it?!?!? π π
Not really, but we're ALREADY social networking anyways so the difference here is that, not only can you make good money from consistently posting and earning Steem β¨οΈ as you go, but you ALSO have an economic incentive to critique and applaud, upvote, share and resteem others' posts because as you gain MORE followers and EARN more Steem by SOCIALIZING and NETWORKING (curating's the point) you are financially rewarded the more you Steem β¨οΈ yourself and others - that's a win win for all!
It is the potential and ability to $ELF fund π° (from scratch if you have to) a brand or an organization or a product's creation (crowdfund) or to fund a good CAUSE through socializing that makes this particular network built on a blockchain particularly interesting and enticing to learn about even if you're not into crypto yet, like my friend π Ash Katch π (link) a popular YouTuber and influencer who at least hinted at curiousity after I posted my SteemIt blog on π Thanksgiving π (link) and then posted a pic about it on #IG and sent it to her!
SteemIt has the power to change lives by incentivizing how we network and the reasons for it.
We need popular influencers like my friend π Ashley Katchadourian π (link) and eventually people in her personal network like #GaryVee π Gary Vaynerchuk π (link) on this platform, not only because it helps us grow in influence and gain popularity in the culture (that much is obvious) but what is ALSO just as obvious is that bringing these kinds of genuine souls and influencers onto SteemIt brings up the value of our Steem currency and THAT is where we ALL (eventually) want to be!
Concerning using SteemIt to crowdfund a cause, consider the Super Hero Music Project.
To find out more information on the Super Hero Music Project and how SteemIt can help fund said project visit my website π @ SomeAlaskaGuy.com.
Or simply go to the music engine I use π @ SomeAlaskaGuy.BandCamp.com.
As always - thanks and shout out to the local SteemIans that are helping me in this endeavor OBVIOUSLY my wife @SomeAlaskaGirl. β€οΈ πππ
And our website intern and fellow SteemIan @FD907 who is also a YouTuber with his own YT channel found here π @ FD907's YouTube Channel.πππ ππππππ
Special shout out to our SteemIan brother from Bangladesh @AzizBD I really β€οΈ what he's doing with his Steem β¨οΈ power πͺ πͺ πͺ to benefit the children of his local community - THAT is what it's all about! πππ
The ability to affect change and influence in your environment and $ELF FUND π΅ π΅ π° the necessary resources needed for any particular endeavor is TRULY the essence of steem power β¨οΈ πͺ that is the TRUE potential and SOURCE of SteemIt's power.
I hope ALL of my friends join us here on SteemIt today! π
I mean, just look π at what the SteemIt gods π€΄ π³ π π€ have done for me while I was writing this! πππ

Thank you for recommending people to join on steemit. and sorry for my late seen. Also Thanks for reading about @SchoolForSDG4 . Steemit is helping great way to kids of the school. And we hope soon we will get fully funded by steemit community.
And thank you for being one of the leaders in this endeavor and showing the way for fellow SteemIans of the future to emulate your success!
Thank you for sharing your life's journey with us @AzizBD I truly mean that! π
It will be very nice if someone can keep helping his own community through steemit. You are very welcome and I am glad to meet you
@AzizBD you're one of my SteemIan inspirations!
I hope to live up to the honor that you're experiencing right now! π
upvote and resteem for u :)
@Lautenglye thank you so much for your support!
you are welcome my friend :) keep steeming and share your posts :)
@cleverbot I was wondering π€ π if you were real and if so, what you did.
I think that is awesome! π π π
Well friend, I followed you now that I know you're a SteemIan. π
Keep being clever and next time I post, I'll ask what you think. π
I dont know for sure how steemit work, but mfriend who introduced steemit to me say its just like SIMBIOSIS MUTUALISME that will give benefit to all...
Keep steeming you'll get the hang of it.
There are really great helpful people on here willing to help I've experienced it and I appreciate that.
Thanks for the shoutout my fellow #Alaskan crypto brother! I would agree too that steemit is a game changer and can't wait to see where it goes from here. It's been one hell of a ride with ya in our #blockchain adventures so far, much love to ya, so lets keep this #team strong for #Alaska :) [Though I would advise Steemit to stop that flagging nonsense]
Good point here. I think GV knows it will work but like anything, where our attention and energy goes, grows, and he only has so much attention and energy. The movement is growing. The people - aka, global crypto community - have spoken and will continue to speak. Governments will gotta yield over time. Then we simply have more ways and means to trade. Just a means of exchange, that is all, agreed on by a large group of folks. Gary would certainly dive in but has 50 million irons in the fire already ;) I am heavily into blogging and eBook promoting but am setting aside time and energy daily to make friends on Steemit and to learn more about this wonderful place, and about these currencies.
Thanks for share the post... @somealaskaguy
π π π thank you @arjunanku!
I am so glad you are here and thank you π for commenting!
I completely agree with you dude π―% and I'm so thankful you're engaging with me like this but you get my point.
And it's not so much Gary but people LIKE him or of our type of thinking a lot of US are fans of Gary and some of us associates.
But the point is that we have to open it up make it easy (comfortable) and as business friendly as we can possibly make it on here for new up and coming influencers like my friend Ashley (which shares her Amazon links on YT) that are the future of SteemIt.
We get more people like her and Isabella from my Thanksgiving π post π and they will bring their following and you π where I'm going with this don't ya? π
Thank you for tuning in I promise to try and make my posts as entertaining & informative as possible!
Some will be short, some will be long, but hopefully sweet, though some of them strong. π
And I follow you so I'll be looking for your posts in my feed my SteemIan friend!
Oh.!! My peaser ..
Thank you.
