Apparently it's the topic du jour among us little SPers. :)
Without knowing if you've invested or worked with steemcleaners or some other of the groups around the STEEM ecoysystem, I would say you're outpacing a lot of us as far as SP goes for the time you've been here. So whatever you've been doing, keep doing it. :)
I'm sure you'll know which to take. There is no one size fits all, and even if there were, undoubtedly results would vary. Even with equal opportunities, there are no equal outcomes.
And I think that's the way it should be, unless all other things are equal, too, which they rarely are, nor can they be.
I think my main issue is that I've been involved in a lot of things over the course of my life that has taken me away from the things I wanted to do to the point now where I feel like every minute I can spend doing it is precious. The other thing I feel is that by continuing to do what I am doing here, I'm providing the best opportunity I can for others to grow.
So, anyway. I could certainly grow faster, no doubt about it. I could also not grow at all. Been there, done that. It's simply going to take some kind of consistency and commitment no matter how it's approached.
I agree that everyone has his own approach, and the main factor should be that SteemIt should be enjoyable, no matter which road you choose.
I had been lucky enough to make quite some crypto-profits, which gave me the opportunity to re-invest in Steem. That’s the only reason I managed to get my SP higher than a lot of others.
And you’re completely right: any growth is better than no growth at all :0)
Very good. I think investing in STEEM with crypto or fiat is probably one of things people overlook or do last because either they can't, don't want to, or think it's possible to grow faster without it.
If Steemit being enjoyable equates to knowing why you're here, than I agree. There definitely has to be more to being here than the price of STEEM involved, as well as the amount of rewards on posts. Otherwise, it doesn't take long to walk away.
If the price of Steem would be the only factor, I guess we’d all be long gone by now, lol
