Hi family of steemit!
I signed up yesterday, and over time I hope to meet some good friends here on steemit and meet up IRL on my travels.
I've been dreaming of being a part of a big, kind, fun, adventurous, traveling family of 10-50 people moving between countries together. The pictures below are from one attempt of creating such a community.
We had fun but had different plans and freedom levels, I'll still keep trying forever. :)
If we seem like minded or share interests and you will be in Philippines, Singapore, the rest of Asia, California or Sweden in 2019 let's see if we can do some fun and productive meet ups and collabs!
This post turned out way too long, but I hope some enjoy it in some way!
For my whole life I have had lots of anxiety about how people would gossip and talk about me if I was in any form of center of attention, so I would make myself as invisible as possible and leave 99% of my videos, photos and art in hard drives, besides a few times when I could not say no to the chance of representing some idea or project somewhere.
In march 2018 I decided to face my fear of people's opinions and start to express myself more on the internet, post some videos and so on. It's been a year of many times feeling like a loser compared to what I try to do/be, but I will keep doing it and I only regret starting so late.
The best way to fight my fear was to do what I was afraid of and understand that the people who looked down on me are free to do so, it's none of my business and has all to do with them, little to do with me.

Interviewing young, successful people who are also striving upwards, yet have already come so far in doing things similar to what I wish I did in their age or even now, is both fun, inspiring and tough at the same time, to be honest.

No that I know that the Mako shark i was teasing is the fastest shark in the sea I'm happy I still have an arm to hold my gopro with. I really think it considered is friends and thought i was gonna feed it with the shiny fishlike camera.
This shark had eaten a huge swordfish but was still hungry enough that it wanted to chew on our rubber tube boat and we had to slap it over and over and it still came back haha. It was so weird.

The people who like who we are should be our focus. Those who don't like who we truly are should know who we are so they can stay away.
Before this I was focusing on the price of more people knowing about me, to have people being jealous or gossiping or talking badly about me, not liking attention that I would get.
Then I realized the much higher price: The like minded people I found on social media and would love to know has no idea of what I'm about, how like minded I am, what I am trying to do, how great I would fit into their channel, circle of friends or projects.
Goof interview in L.A. with a serious subcontext, veganism. I went fruitarian for 6 years in 2010 and now I've mixed mostly fruit and some vegan food from 2016 til now.
Fruit and veganism improved my life quality so much, I'm forever grateful.
Posting food or making food is really not me, but occasionally I make sweet, healthy (n)icecream from just frozen bananas and berries. This is in my home village (age 2-19). I had beautiful summers and lonely boring winters as a child.
I also stumbled on this photo of sweet raw balls from healthy dates, licorice root, coconut & karob.
Last summer visiting the small beach town I grew up in and now rarely spend time in. I only have one friend left from age 6 that I still see every year and this is him. I'm excited that him and his family will travel Asia next year and we can meet up.
Because I was invisible online, no one could stumble on me and find out what I was like and get inspired to meet up for adventures and collabs together. So now I'm trying to change, to work to become more visible, even if few cares.
I wish I did this earlier in life now that I realize how many chances I threw away. So from now on I'm training myself to show who I am and what I try to do, but I have still just pushed myself to get 1-5% of my videos and photos out, out of fear of people's reactions to it and also lack of motivation.
I like to design and create useful art that kids can climb on and skaters can skate on.
Here are some of them, maybe to small to really see?
A "LIVE FREE" brick ramp that I made an autumn when I dreamed of being free enough to travel to the sun and adventure. Keeps reminding me of how blessed I am now, while it also sends a healthy message to the kids. :)
Skateboarding on a LOVE sculpture I made to promote love at a time when I was a bit of a victim of a crime.
Sometimes I get excited to do things partly because they are weird and fun. That's how I came to build this skateboard car in Sweden, and also how I came to ship it to South Africa and drive around and skate at children's homes and with street kids.
I wish I had enough money to do more half crazy things like that to bring smiles and laughs to people (don't we all?), so that is part of why I regret so much not investing in crypto in 2010 when I had money but invested in something with little to no return.
This is also why I am really determined to go more and more into crypto now despite my losses from crypto going in at the exactly wrong time in late 2017, to maybe be able to do more things like this and much more odd things in some years from now.
I'm not a fan of GMO, Monsanto, Syngenta or round up so I happily accepted to join the march against Monsanto.
When a grumpy elephant tells you to sit down and shut the F up you should obey. I did sit down and talk more quietly. For a few seconds I was a bit concerned for the safety of my Swedish visitor. Later I moved to a house with elephant guests and got used to having both peaceful and grumpy elephants right in front of me.
In a safe cage putting my gopro by the mouth of a 6 meter great white who got stuck on the cage. I was considering if I could get away with breaking the rules and touch the teeth and chin but I was scared that skipper "Sharkman" Mike Rutzen would get very angry with me since he just told me it was bad to touch sharks. I decided to respect the rules and I will always regret that my hand is not on the tooth in this picture an video. At least until i get the chance to do it right.
I was extremely determined and focused to meet a playful whale and some dolphins and the others stayed in the boat because of high waves and lot's of sharks attracted by the sardine migration, so I think that I did deserve to get lucky with this upside down humpback whale selfie. Even got a dolphin in there. :)
I was also very lucky that this X ton whale tail fin swooshed right by me without breaking me when the whale was diving down.
Isn't it ironic that I was doing all these things that could get me injured yet I was so scared of a big, very harmless thing on my bucket list that I had suppressed it for 20 years. To just give people a chance of knowing who I dream of becoming and who I really am. At my best and at my worst.
I would travel in Africa at night and have to fight robbers and run away from people considering to murder me, I'd walk out dangerously close to irritated elephants, growling lions, rhinos, hippos and made some supposedly unsafe skydiving moves that I got criticized for and I was criticized for planning to base jump with too little skydive experience. I was swimming in great white shark populated water to get too close to a whale that in itself got inches from injuring me with the huge tail fin.
So now I've gotten started with showing my "at my best part". So far, I am yet to get the guts to show myself on video at my worst.
I have hours of videos from hospitals or from anxious or boring days and from days of big failure or regret that I am worried of posting.
In case it hasn't been obvious yet, I love animals, from dogs and cats to monkeys and the occasional mongoose.
Maybe blabbering about all these fears is some of the "at my worst"-part? Who am I to talk so much about myself? Who cares about some random person with no views? You know the feeling?
So I'm training myself to look at my videos with 0-30 views and no comments and think: At least I am not hiding anymore, let me just focus on living my life and sharing some of it in case someone out there in the future may find value in it or meet me because of it and turn into a good friend or project partner.
Now after a year, it gets a little easier, some have a few hundred views, but it is still nothing and so many hours that could be used for other things. Will it be worth it? Who knows.
You never know who you may comfort or even inspire or meet by just being your random self online or who you may meet in the future because of it.
I'm still way more comfortable with focusing on the reader or on my projects than I am focusing on myself, which is why I didn't do this introduceyourself post first of all my posts. But no it's done and a bit overly done perhaps?
Now this post turned into the opposite of what I was planning on.
I was planning pictures with a tiny bit of shallow descriptive text. Nothing deep and vulnerable to be anxious over, nothing time consuming and no book, keep it simple, no one wants to read much anyways.
Let me add those pics and short texts and call it a day. :)
Hmm, this is the roof of where I am right now, so why did I just spend two days in a row neglecting the pool and my work to post things on Steemit that maybe no one will have use of of like?
I guess I'm hoping that I will meet friends here that will be worth it or maybe a tiny hope of a following that will enable me to do good things for people.
Or maybe I just have little logic and self control at times and I get in a psychosis of sharing/creating that makes little sense at all? I'd say a combination.
Either way I hope to find some reason to be coming back to steemit and keep inviting my friends to join as I did with a couple of my two closest friends already.
Have a blessed day steemit peeps!

Hi and welcome here! When I started on steemit, my biggest problem was to find interesting people to interact with. So, to help newcomers getting started I created a directory with other interesting and or talented steemians to follow or interact with.

Please let me know what I would need to do in order to qualify for it myself and I will give it some consideration. :)
Welcome to Steem! Thanks for sharing so much of your fear, outlook and experiences with us from the get-go! I have an appreciation for functional art and enjoyed the chance to see some of yours with the ramp photos. (BTW, I would have wanted to touch the shark as well. ) It's enticing to write more in response to so much of what you've written here but as there's some helpful info for you below, I'll try to keep this short. 😉
It can feel overwhelming for a person who is new to the platform to know how to succeed but after reading the comments below, you already have some fantastic advice.

Welcome to the SteemIt Community.
Hello david-krug!! Nice blog you have here! Amazing things! And the idea of becoming a group of 10-50 people travelling from country to country simply astounding, fresh and human!!! You're going to be doing very good here in steemit, believe me.

Thanks for the encouragement @Marc5 ! I'm glad you like it! So you are in Barcelona? I go there at times, but long time since last time. If you ever see me post that I'm there, hit me up! :)
A very long extensive post, and actually fun and enjoyable to read. Sometimes I do enjoy a long post, and comments, speaking of which, thanks for finding a few of my post and the comments you left. I am sometimes not great at leaving return comments, but I do try.
There is a ton of things and communities/groups to find and follow. A couple of current tags that I have been having fun with are #featheredfriday - All about pictures of birds that we capture with our own camera, The people range from the very experienced photographers to the beginning photographer to the click a picture people, (me sometimes). Those same types of people can be found in the #mountainmonday and #bouldersunday #fridaysrock, pretty much covers a lot of different photo types, and they are fun and no one takes them real serious, and I have yet to see anyone putting down anyone in those tags, so Friendly tags, yes capital F Friendly.
#wednesdaywalk - That is a great tag, people sharing their view of their backyard, neighborhood, countryside, city or town.
Well thanks again for visiting my post, I do currently enjoy taking and playing with pictures, let me know if you need help with anything, if I can I will try to help or at least point you to someone or a group that can maybe help.
Thank you so much for those suggestions and your positive words @bashadow ! Don't worry about the replies, I understand and I appreciate this one! I also highly appreciate the offer for asking for help, so big thank you!
#featheredfriday and #wednesdaywalk will be given for me to participate in and check out more.
I'll see you later!

Greetings from Brittandjosie from the Netherlands
Big THANK YOU @brittandjosie for taking time to welcome me with so much good advice. I highly appreciate you and it was indeed helpful, I think I have upvoted and I will do so again when I have more steem power, because the power up I bought today only covers a few answers, I consider a bigger powerup as soon as possible.
And yes I did a couple of other posts first but I am still just 2-3 days old on steemit. :)
I will be careful like you say, which is why I wonder, is it safe to use Partiko as a desktop software and app, ans Steemify app, because then Partiko and steemify will have my keys too, right? Or is that decentralized in a way where no one can get the keys, or maybe i just use posting key on them? My question is open to anyone who knows to answer and if no one happens to answer here, I will ask at The Steem Terminal, thank you for letting me know about that one! And the FAQ that someone else adviced about.
Maybe I will also make my own post for my friends that I invite to join here, with the things that I find most important of what I have found in my first days. :)
Enjoy spring in Amsterdam Brittandjosie, I'm from Sweden but in Asia now, Manila in days. :) And thanks again!
Hi David,
Between my reply to you and your answer Some things changed in the steemisfere. All rewarding to the keys used here, so i would say look at the blogs by @ soyrosa and @llfarms, two great ladies who Made it clear.
After that ad also now you are welcometo joints intheSteemtermonal andask your questions there. That Will save your resource credits for upvotes and posting.
I am making a steemitworldmap so are you in Asia , Manila permanent ?
Then i Will put your flag there,
See my blog about it https://steemit.com/steemitworldmap/@brittandjosie/where-are-you-from-let-me-know-for-my-trip-around-the-steemit-world
Greetz,
Britt
Hi @brittandjosie!
Thank you, I appreciate it. To be honest I am also asking myself how I would justify putting hundreds of hours into learning all this and posting here, but I will probably slowly learn and use steemit more.
I will not be anywhere permanent but keep living a nomadic life, living about 30 days at a time in each country, so I should leave the Philippines around the end of April.
Will check your article and see what other peeps are in Manila and wherever i go. Great idea!
Welcome; @david-krug
I love the way you give information; it hooks.
So much that I read your full post.
And the others.
Follow with the varied themes.
I liked them all.
Greetings. ( I use traslator)
Thank you @mariita52! I'm glad to hear that! Enjoy Venezuela! I was thinking of going there a couple of years ago, but didn't go yet. Would love to see that animal that looks like a huge guinea pig :D
Woohoo! Thanks, David
It would be great for your Bitacora to visit Venezuela.
Pregnancy, of that plan, at any moment you will give birth.
Metaphorically speaking. :) :) :)

Thank you @c-squared !! I appreciate it!
I don't know how witness things works yet and with the login in and using my keys outside of steemit.com and what it even means, but I'll come back to these comments in the future when I understand more . :D 3 40 in the morning now in a restaurant on my laptop. :D Should go home!
Crikey!
I'm wondering if you've left anything for future posts......?!?!??!?
Welcome to Steem!!
Thank you for the welcome @metametheus ! Some of these are indeed my favorite memories, but I do have more favorites (and lots of videos).
What I might be closer to using up is my time, but I will try to keep freeing some up. ;)
Nice introduction post my dude.
Haha so cool you were even at the Braille Skatehouse?!
I know them from YouTube, I‘ve been skating through out my youth aswell.
Hope you have a good time on the Steem platform. 😃

Thank you @patrizius92 my new friend, haha, yes Braille was pretty fun, it was in last october and then I was there once more on crutches just watching Felipe Nunez and two other guys rip . If you search my name with Braille you should find the episode with me.
I hope you are having a great time on Steem as well! Man I've been up the four last nights writing now, I have to find a way to balance it out more haha.
Now the new post is posted at least so good night, see you later, please feel free to let me know what you want to see me post here first, I'd appreciate feedback! And let me know if you want feedback on some of your posts too. :) Now my steem power should be out too. :D https://steemit.com/photography/@david-krug/what-can-i-contribute-on-steemit-and-dtube-reflection-and-thank-yous-after-100-hours-of-steemit-addiction
That was a great post! I wish I had half your energy! I'm a farmer so I don't travel, but I love reading about everyone else's adventures!
Thank you @goat-girlz! Haha, I wish I was better and channeling my energy more effectively. :D I'll be happy to read and post videos from more adventures and will check out your posts!
Welcome aboard! This is quite an epic post my man. I really enjoyed your imagery and positive vibes. I hooked you up with a welcoming gift in your wallet, and curated this post on behalf of the @helpie curation team.
Nice to have you with us 😎
Thank you so much again @futuremind, now I sent some more steem power in to answer here too!
And thank you @helpiecake and @helpie too of course!
For those others reading this, here is my original thanks! I like that comments can be linked so well on steemit and even made green! :)

epic first post! Full on journey and photos... nice one.. now following.
Thank you @snowyknight ! I hope to see you around then!
No worries. Cool and same here, looking forward to what you get up to.
:)
I don't know why but I've tried multiple times to read your full post and partiko keeps freezing and booting me out. What I read is great, so welcome, and I'll look for ya when you hit Malaysia...
Posted using Partiko Android
Thank you!
Haha, everyone else is asking me to sign up for Partiko, it's funny and refreshing to hear something different about it! :D
But of course i guess you like it most of the time since you use it. :)
Isn't it possible to just do one article outside Partiko once it is installed? Just curious.
Where in Malaysia are you? :)
Gave this an upvote, I hope Greg and you rebond! And if not then I hope you find peace in that and have that bond with others where you are!
https://steemit.com/partiko/@skramatters/the-way-things-used-to-be-cmxhtgm1
Don't get me wrong I love partiko! Yesterday was a fluke and could've been something on my end for all I know.
Yes, once partiko is installed you can still use steemit or busy or any number of front ends built on the steem blockchain.
I'm just outside of Kuala Lumpur. I highly recommend Malaysia not just bc I'm biased and live here, there's no place like it. It's very mixed up here and while that's something no civilization has really figured out, we do pretty well here considering the confluence of languages and cultures. Nowhere else will you find a buddhist temple, hindu temple, catholic church, protestant church and a mosque in the same neighborhood like you will here.
As far as the Greg thing my capacity to be compassionate is quite high and I can't allow others to dictate my serenity.
Cheers, I'll see you around steem
Posted using Partiko Android
Ah, sounds really cool with KL. My aunt and cousins lived there a while, but I never went. Will check it out sooner or later for sure, been looking at it lately, but booked singapore this time after Manila. Will try to remember to give you a shout if I go there, feel free to do the same if you see that I am posting about going there. Cheers, see you around!
Welcome to Steem! I predict that you will be very successful here!
Thank you @melinda010100 !!
That is very encouraging and complimentary and I truly appreciate it, especially when coming from you who seem to be very successful here yourself!
To be honest my confidence in my steemit success is lower than yours, I am not sure if I will have the patience to go through a long period of self doubt and slow growth like I have done on two other platforms for a year, with very moderate growth, and many years on a third platform.
If you Melinda or anyone else that reads this and want to collaborate and help me to reach out faster by resteeming my posts, i would happily ad special thank yous to the resteemers in every post. I'm going to ad such thank yous in this post as well soon, to those I can see has resteemed it (and to my first weeks followers).
I have kind of promised myself to put my 2019 computer time into designing and building brands and a web store with fun collabs, but I will always create content, photos, videos because I love creating memories to watch!
For sure it does not have to be "all or nothing" for me on steemit, I think I will always come back to steemit because I love the concept and welcoming vibe, but how frequently I will post, how many hours i put into it will depend if I feel that my posts mean enough to steemians or not and either entertain, inspire, educate or "happify" or something.
If I doubt that I may not be so frequent, but still be here. I am really hoping that I have found my platform of choice on steemit that will work for me and steemians. :)
Thanks again and I hope to collaborate in some way some how some time if you want!
I suspect that like with the majority of us, building will be slow and you will need some patience!
My advice is to engage. There are lots and lots of wonderful posts presented here everyday and I know I miss out on seeing most of them. If you engage regularly you will be remembered and will gain supporters. Comment, comment, comment and then the next day go back and comment again and your account will grow!
I did nominate you to C-Squared and I'll be rooting for you.
Hi @David-Krug, welcome to Steemit! As @fitinfun mentioned, the Steemitncommunity is fantastic and I’ve been fortunate to meet many of our fellow Steemians while on my travels across the world.
Good luck with everything on here and while I’m still a small account on here, I’m happy to help should you have any questions or need advice!
I’ve given you a follow to help stay in touch 👊🏼

Hello!
This post has been manually curated, resteemed
and gifted with some virtually delicious cake
from the @helpiecake curation team!
Much love to you from all of us at @helpie!
Keep up the great work!
Welcome to Steem! Manually curated by futuremind
Thank you so much @helpiecake @helpie and @futuremind!
Let me repeat what I said in https://steemit.com/esteem/@futuremind/the-introduceyourself-helpie-curation-incentive that I appreciate that so much!!!
Wow! @futuremind and @helpie thank you soooo(!!!) much for that extremely encouraging description of why you picked me and for the honor to be picked!
I appreciate you, this and your efforts both for me and other newcomers and steemit so much. I will mention your kind encouragement in the post as soon as I have resources enough to edit it, because I now just have enough to answer one or two comments that I really want to answer.
Your helpiecake paid for powering up so I could write this comment and vote up this and other kind welcoming messages. I am thinking of putting some more power over into steem. I will for sure power up a bit and see if I can contribute something to the community that will make me worthy of followers and votes and give me a feeling of contribution to people's well being at the same time.
I don't know if you heard what Oprah says that what every one really has in common from a street kid to presidents and music stars is that they want to know "was that ok/good/understood well/seen/appreciated?" and you sure made me feel like my day making that post was very much so, so big thank you and keep up that good work for others that you appreciate.
I have upvoted some of your things and will go follow you now and when i learned how to safely vote for witness and which password to use and if it's safe even on another domain i will do so too! There is so much I don't understand yet and little time since I'm flying to a new country and to @essen.vicente in a couple of days! :)
See you later, I will check some other articles about the @helpie project and vote because I want more people to be encouraged like i just was.
My resources are low but I'll be back!
Thanks again!!
Wow. What a post. Very interesting life you lead. Seems fun. Welcome to steemit. any questions just ask.
Thanks! I appreciate it.
You can actually touch a shark? That's more impressive than the broken skateboard haha.
Haha, it's doable, thank you @joeyarnoldvn :)
I welcome you to steem via a !sneeze :)
Hmm, ok, thank you. :) I have no idea what that means but I appreciate the welcoming. :D
This is an april fool surprise going on steem now. So I thought it would be nice to call newcomers too :)
Haha, ok, I ran out of steem power yesterday,seems to be up today
oh ok. understandable :)
You should'nt have liked my comment etc. Are you on discord? This is me @dexterdev#4231
I powered up two times and try to map up the resource costs now a bit to see what takes most. Seems comments are quite high on resources and I think probably when I edited all my articles, especially this huge one, it probably eats A LOT :D
I'm not on discord, can I do anything on that if I don't play video games myself? Are there good reasons to get it?
I'm on WhatsApp a bit for family and a couple of friends and have tried Line a bit here in Asia.
But I want to upvote nice commenters.. :D
Hey congratulations on a stellar introduce yourself post. You should look up steemworld, it’s where a lot of us view our resteems, new followers, upvotes, comments, delegations, etc etc. You’ll be able to track who resteems you from there. You can even check out who mentions your name from there… pretty neat.
So, your life doesn’t look boring not anything. Haha… I think you’ll find a lot of us steemians are free spirited travelers. Welcome to the community @david-krug. I hope you stick around for a while, and if you keep putting up content like this you’ll get your RC credits up in no time. Pura Vida ✌️
Thank you @puravidaville ! I followed someones link to steemworld and am yet to sort and find all that nfo there after answering the comments. :D Where in California are you guys at? I was in Venice Beach 6 months in 2018. :) Good night!
It took me a couple of days navigating the site to really get the just of things. There’s a bar on the left that says comments, mentions, and if you click the stats on the your most recent post, in the right corner it says “resteems” and clicking on that will show you how many resteems and who resteems you.
We are from Long Beach but live in Costa Rica now. Love the beach :). Haha
You have been infected by the King of Disease!
Will you quarantine yourself?
Or will you spread the plague?
That doesn't sound good but I feel like I have been in quarantine for 48 hours writing steemit posts so people are safe in my hotel, they hardly see me haha
dont worry. just enjoy the fun :)
Congratulations @david-krug!

Hi @anhvu , thank you for the advice about @haccolong , I don't understand how he makes that happen and I will just hope that it goes along with stem etiquette and followed him. Many refers to partiko, I will see how I do with that in the future, thanks!
I read this post of yours, love it, keep up your strategy and perseverance and you'll make it!

Best of luck and maybe we'll see each other around!
Good morning @david-krug
Actually I don't use Partiko entirely, 4/10 activities I use the browser. When I was in bed and resting, I often used Partiko. Of course, there's an app instead, so it's because of your preference.
Thank you for watching my blog and wish you great strategies and a nice day!
Thank you, and a good night to you, I'm off to bed! :) Which country are you in, @anhvu or you want to keep it secret? :)
What an awesome introduction @david-krug ♥ I look forward to more of your stories!!! You are quite the adventurous spirit and I love that about you. Keep it UP! :)))
Have you considered joining the Power House Creatives? https://steemit.com/steem/@jaynie/jaynie-1554064739567-moments-from-my-instagram-world
Thank you @lizablove! I have no idea what PHC really does for the steemit community or its own members is but will try to google it sooner or later. I found this in the text you link to but it doesn't say anything about what. "Yes, we require quite a bit from you as an individual but you get it tenfold in return and ANY ONE of our members will gladly testify to this. Absolutely EVERYTHING is catered for and considered…" It's late now, but thank you for the idea and I will look into what they do! :)
Welcome to steemit, David. Hit me up for a coffee if you find yourself in Chiang Mai, Norrhern Thailand. ☕😊
Posted using Partiko Android
Yay! I will go have coffee with you sooner or later @artemislives, but was adviced to not go to CM right now because of burning season, but maybe it's not that bad. :) I have heard so much of Chiang Mai though, from digital nomadism to fruit family to elephant retirement home nearby. :)
Upvoted this one, remind me of when i built house in South Africa, mine was more primitive though and never got completed haha. But the spirit seemed similar!
Very happy it seems I am glad to see you and your family happy
Happy happy from @itikna09
Thank you @itikna09! I'm happy to hear that! You guys look happy too! :)

God morgon och Thank You @swedishdragon! :D Ska man skriva på engelska för att vara artig mot de andra?
Haha, that's reassuring , I appreciate that.
Vi får se vad det blir av det hela, lite post-testande ska jag göra i alla fall och se om någon får ut något av värde av det, inklusive både communityn och jag själv, måste ha lite balans! :) Blir inget Sverige på ett tag tror jag, men kanske i sommar, kanske ses då, vem vet!
Ha ha man 'ska' vara hövlig och skriva Engelska MEN hallå, det är så kul att få använda -Å-Ä-Ö ;) :P
Det låter bra, jag ser fram emot att se vad du hittar på :D
Ha ha för att post-testa gjorde du ett grymt bra jobb :D
Du låter som du har en bra plan, betänk bara att detta tar tid..
Va?? Inget Sverige?? O.o Kom igen nu, vi regerar juuu ;) LOL :P
Ha en bra dag :D
Haha, kanske hem och fixa lite i vår eller sommar, får se! :) Tack!! Ja tid ja, nu är klockan 4 igen och jag bara besvarar lite kommentarer :D Gonatt!
'Kanske' ett så typiskt Svenskt ord, väldigt flytande ;) LOL
Ha ha det låter som en bra plan. Sååååå länge du trivs, är det allt som räknas :D♡ 🐲ℒℴve 🐉♡
Ha ha jo, det tar tid men planen är väl inte att sitta uppe mitt i natten ;) ?

And in regards to the quetsion, I am not convinced that we won't see 2500 or even lower still, but I sure hope not and if we do then i hope it's a quick bounce up!
Welcome to Steemit! I'm sorry to hear about your anxiety. I do understand you but I must say that you really should not care about what other people think of you. Negative people mainly have issues with themselves or are jealous on what you've achieved.
After seeing this post I honestly think that you are crazy. In a good way of course :) I would never ever do these things so I am truly looking forward to watching your videos and reading your posts.
And please DO NOT TOUCH those teeth even though you'll have a chance again :) Rules are rules! :)
You can join #travelfeed tag or pin your posts to @steemitworldmap to get better visibility and larger audience. You absolutely deserve larger audience!
Keep doing what you do as it's awesome and don't stop sharing it with us! Steemit is the right platform for you. People are very supportive and you'll find many of them who are like=minded.
Thank you for sharing and have a great day!
Thank you @delishtreats for the encouraging words and I'm happy to hear some stuff that got your attention. :D Hahaha, we'll see about the teeth. :P
I will try to remember #travelfeed and #steemitworldmap for the next travelpost!
Where is your restaurant? https://steemit.com/walkwithme/@delishtreats/what-am-i-up-to
Best of luck with it and have a great day you too!

Good evening and thank you for your encouragement and the compliment @maxdevalue ! I will give it a go and will look at your posts too, for inspiration!
Welcome to Steemit david-krug. The official FAQ can be found here and has A LOT of information https://steemit.com/faq.html - Also remember, Steemit is just ONE of the sites built that uses Steem the blockchain. You should also check out DTube and DSound for starters and if you're a gamer, Steem Monsters! There are many other cool apps but I can't list them all here, there's just too many! But I'd also like to mention Steempeak, it's a better blogging platform that has a lot of cool features. Welcome to the blockchain! :) Oh, and if you're interested in creating your own tokens or smart contracts, check Steem engine!
Thank you a lot @janne !! I have uploaded two videos to dtube and like it, even if it is tough to start over at 0 followers again the way I have done on YouTube a few times now, but I will for sure keep giving it a chance now and then and I will let my music producer friend that i adviced about dtube already, also know about dsound! And I will look at steem engine as ai have a dream about a couple of tokens . How is steempeak better? :)
Great #introduceyourself post!! Long but enjoyable.
I am also very reticent to "put myself out there" so to speak. You are making a nice start!
Can't wait to see what else you have coming. Followed and resteemed (though my following is small).
Keep engaging with comments. Build up your STEEM Power! Dole out your votes to others. You already seem to have a head start on the produce quality content part.
Thank you @steemstreems! I commented and voted on others until i lost power yesterday but it seems to be back now. :) My sp is 67, thinking of putting a bit more in the system. :)
No problem. I saw @tuanis mentioned @steembasicincome.
I have sponsored you for a share. You will now get an upvote on all your future posts for life. Find a way to get more SBI shares (enter contests and such--impress others with your future great content :-)
The only caveat is that you do have to post to get anything, so no pressure:-)
Wow, thank you! So I will never again se a 0 upvotes button? :D
Hahaha, no pressure right, thanks! ;D
I read one of the @steembasicincome articles quickly now (I'm in a restaurant) and get part of the idea, but not quite how it's financed haha.
Are you enrolled already or am I allowed to enroll you in the same way? Let's say that you were already enrolled and I enroll you again anyways, does that mean that you will have 2 upvotes for life on every post instead of one?
And the same if 2, 3 or 100 people enroll someone? 100 upvotes on every post?
To me it's just amazing with all the technology behind everything on steemit, I feel so illiterate and feel like going a programming course so I can make fun and good solutions too. :)
Yes. I am enrolled already. The only way to get a share is to be sponsored by someone else. Basically they pay one STEEM to @steembasicincome and mentions the name of someone else. Then they and that mentioned person get one share (so I did benefit from sponsoring you). Thereafter they both get upvotes on all of their posts forever.
Yes you could sponsor me by sending one STEEM the same way with my name as benefactor. Then I would have two shares and you would have two. We would not then get two upvotes but one upvote for each post that was double previous (I dont know if it scales linearly like that exactly but it is close I believe).
I like to use it to sponsor those with good content or people with low SP and good content. It is important to give it to active posters for full benefit. You get nothing if you do not post. That’s why I said no pressure :/)
Search for SBI contest. There are many every week. Many that recur regularly. Some are random and some require some action or task.
You can also get shares by delegating steem power to SBI but i wouldn’t do that until you are more established and had more and growing SP.
Thanks you, I will currently have no movable steems, but when I refill I will do that and send one in.
I will then reread this too and try to understand it "each post that was double previous" and "(I dont know if it scales linearly like that exactly but it is close I believe)" haha.
I powered up a bit now too. Will see if I need more. Thanks and good night!

Hey, thank you. Just as I asked the above poster, out of curiosity, is this a bot post or a person posting?
Most of the time I'm a bot trying to help as much as possible. But here I am typing using a real keyword and if you happen to investigate a little you might find my owner :P
Haha, ok :) Thanks for passing by in person. :P

I just scrolled through these. you are a very interesting human. traveled and cool hobbies. looking fwd to more content from you. It might be out there, but i really think you should consider posting some videos on dtube. about me. maybe some couple challenges with your girl. skateboarding.
In regards to what you posted on my video about the evolution of steemit. I think what is most interesting about Steemit (although the UI upgrades you suggested would be dope) I truly believe Ned has a bigger vision. I know he does not talk about it with the public and share a lot about it. But i do think he has a plan. I think what is dope about steemit is that I can earn bitcoin and build an audience doing what I would do for no money on YouTube.
Thanks @elima, I appreciate it ! Hopefully you are right about Ned and it is a good plan, is he the sole owner of steemit?
I've tried to post the same video on dtube 2-3 times in the last weeks but it just refuses to do the last publishing for some reason, maybe some bug in my Chrome (but it is latest version), I also had issues on some other sites that @essen does not have, very strange. But those issues worked in maxtor browser, so maybe I'll try d-tube with that. Strange, since chrome worked for my first two videos.
For now to get somewhere I will probably post some YouTube videos on here and then we will see, posted one just now. Good idea with couple challenges, might try that, looks fun! :)
