One post touching so many important topics. TS, you are good at what you do.
Interesting.
I can perfectly relate to that based on my personal life experience.
Unfortunately, deception rules the world. More sad is the fact that the deceivers are the ones regarded as the good guys. Worst still is the pain that comes when you are tagged a deceiver even when you meant good. ( I have experienced that severally and this has made me a woman of so many sorrows who is scared of the world and almost everyone in it) Everyone has his or her natural flaws. We all have the tendencies to go wrong sometimes, but the deceivers have it good always because they are acting out a script well calculated. And guess what? Everyone loves them.
I am glad it worked.
Thank you too TS for writing a masterpiece that has restored a little hope to someone like me. I write on motivational topics, but somehow deep down, I feel hopeless, afraid and pained.
I have Resteemed for my followers to also benefit from it.
@ogoowinner, one if not my first meaningful upvotes i got on steemit as a newbie was from you. It was like a million dollars to me after several efforts putting up posts and got nothing,, nomatter the content of the post. That day i decided to give it a try once more when i came across your NPC contest introduced by a steemin. I read the rules and saw your promise too. I made my own post regarding the challenge and behold, i got an upvote from you like never before. The first time i got that kind of upvote was only on my introduction post where i got about $3. But i never gave up. From that your upvote, i realised that i could still be rewarded for any value I add on steemit, nomatter how little the reward might seem. I was really encouraged. Right now i'm growing. Its about a month i joined steemit, but i have seen many opportunities in store here. I came to know that it takes determination and focus to progress.So, the sky is my starting point looking and emulating people of your kind @ogoowinner, @teamsteem, @destinysaid, @eurogee Etc. You have a good heart and you always fulfill your promises @ogoowinner. Keep it up and remain blessed. Thank you once again. To confirm what i said

I remember when you would not vote for posts that were not upvoted enough because there were not any curation rewards in it for you. @Teamsteem. Things sure can change when you receive millions of dollars in free voting power eh? You are an actor!
Just like everyone else, people who deceive have to face themselves and because humans have a tendency to express compassion I feel like the deceivers must experience some very serious challenges in some aspects of their life.
Challenges and deceitfulness are part of life. To experience positive feelings we must experience its opposite sometimes to be able to contrast both.
You said you feel hopeless, afraid and pained and it's okay, we all do sometimes.
Very important and valuable information you have provided to all steemit users.so first thank you for that.by using this info quality content will increases.but please tell me sir why from last few days the upvote worth is decreasing.
Steem price is decreasing relative to USD.
Good one
I agree because even most of the time, you really can't determine if someone that you are dealing with is now deceiving you.
We really all do. We should be patient in everything and try to make solutions for it. or even, make fun with it!! :)
@teamsteem, thank you so much for your upvotes. I so much appreciate your generousity.
Good

Only one with passion can recognize passsion ✅
No such thing as “deceivers have it good always”. It may look like a script is written but it’s just that everyone is trying their best in the struggle for survival. Nobody has any clue what will happen in the future. If someone creates more suffer then they will feel that too. Everyone is put in different areas of life that shapes us. It’s impossible to write a script for the whole world to follow since there is too many actors involved. No person can control all that.
You made some very good points here and can agree and relate to all of them, especially:
This is the one thing that bothers me the most in currents society and proves how immensly stupid the human race is to have all information out there in the open about how the monetary system is deliberately broken to serve the elite and hwo they put it in place and control each side in the parliament and every news, tv show, etc.
But the sheep just wont get it, they oblige with everything that's put in front of them bx a made up authority; may it be police or a court or whatnot people will oblige to this fake authority figures who are in end controlled by the elite.
We're facing challenging times as a whole but I guess this was all meant to be somehow.
We're all human with our strengths and weaknesses.
The biggest challenge is that made by the system in it being that if we want to change something we need 50%+ to agree and with a population of 60%+ braindead we can't do much
I just fear that blockchain technology isn't something made up by the machine to enslave us further. The are already doing a pretty good job taxing out their slaves in the east and many countries fail to fight against it so they just oblige with those in power.
Weaknesses of many is something all of us will have to and are already paying for...
They are not braindead. They are humans with needs. Braindead is what the social engineers, those who use deception use as a label to down people.
There's a very real possibility the "machine" has created Bitcoin and that's what odds point to. There's also a very real possibility the "machine" will want to free itself from it's own predatory states and blockchain technology could be the result of such a thing.
One theory is that Walter Wriston of Citi paid for a team to develop bitcoin, but he passed away and they completed the project in the next two years. He was thinking and talking about cryptocurrency for many years before that.
BTW, your posts like the one above, and this comment, are why you are one of my witnesses :)
Before, people couldn't organize because they had to pay to organize. Cost to do so exceeded the resources of most; they didn't organize. A small predatory minority which was organized could easily push them around. Today, cryptos pay people to organize; and when millions of people are paid to organize, they organize. An organized mass cannot be pushed around. That's why China and others are so fearful of decentralized blockchains. For example, the common rewards pool in Steem pushes people to organize, because they get paid for doing so, if they cash out.
I don't know how else to call someone who cant critically think or question anything said by an authority of questionable morals.
My fear is that they will pump up bitcoin and other cryptos sky high bringing a lot more people in through the mainstream media and into the hype and then crash the price only to blame the falling of their broken monetary system on cryptos.
Because as we know it their monetary system is a house of cards ready to tip over any minute now and a big crypto crash would be a good story for the drones as they wouldn't even bother questioning or thinking about it.
Hi Runicar,
i know what you mean by braindead and drones but it's not really a fair description for most people, uneducated is probably a better description along with fearful (of the unknown or difficult to understand concepts).
It is down to us to educate, inform and reduce the fearfulness of others.
In my opinion anyway.
What they are more specific is unconscious humans. They are not even aware of what they are doing in life. This is the majority of humans. Educated is a funny word because none of us is really finished being “educated”. We are mainly just speculating and watching patterns. But yes we could educate people in some stuff but it’s mainly making people more conscious and aware that we want to do. That is also easier for people to understand. Since education never stops.
Good point. Institutional investors can easily pump anything, then crash it. The market can absorb around 60 to 80 billion a day right about now, and a medium hedge fund run by an investment bank can be around 200 billion. Just a sale of 10 billion of any assets can crash the market (as recently happened).
A precarious situation, since most individual investors are dangerously leveraged and will automatically have their positions closed on an enormous loss, before market recovery in a few days. Institutional investors will be safe thanks to their sizes. Most individual investors will readily then believe mainstream media nonsense how its all intrinsic to cryptos. (Frank Herbert wrote, once people look for scapegoats they easily find them if the alternative is to look incompetent themselves.)
Think it’s a bit more complicated then that since you have so many different people on both sides. Many looking to make a profit and exit the old system. There is such a demand right now that any crash would just attract more buyers. Because what else would we do? Go back to the old system? Not like we are going back again the Blockchain is too good and it’s clearly a step forward in the right direction.
Most people buying Bitcoin are speculators and investors. It’s the new digital Gold. Mainstream masses will never go buy Bitcoin. The supply is even too small for it to make a big impact. Only 21 million coins and as I understood it 4 million is lost so barely 16 million coins left. Bitcoin is too slow to scale. Mainstream masses will adopt something that is easier to understand and we are still years away from that.
Humans always want to expand and explore that is what has caused Bitcoin and Blockchain to come up. We are bored of the old systems and always look for ways to improve stuff. Clearly we are working to make things work better. Something we have been working on with intensity for the last 200 years. Who knows what we are capable of letting this go for another 1000 years.
Thanks for being an active up-voter.
Personally, I've never found a bot profitable. Surely there must be a way to ban all bots. I also think auto-voting should be done away with as well.
We need more Steemians like you.
You say fiat currency is evil because it gives power to all those people who prints it... then I say cryptocurrency is no different because it gives power to only those who are whales.. the whole idea of empowering the people is so baseless, as no matter if its centralized or decentralized it will always be monopolized by the very few.
I don't say thing as much as I express first principles.
Fiat is created with 0 cost thus there is no risk and it's at the expense of everyone who is holding the currency without the power to create new one.
Cryptocurrencies based on POW algorithm are very costly to create and those who risk the most, those who own the most miners create the most money. Cryptocurrencies based on POS or DPOS like Steem are much less costly to create but still those who have the most to lose and to gain from the currency succeeding are those who create the most new currency but only proportional to how much they own.
Steem is a bit different. Some of the newly created currencies are allocated to authors and the creation of new tokens are delegated to the witnesses.
In POS, if someone owns 1% of the coin, they will create 1% of the new coin. No one is losing anything. Everyone is increasing their stake proportional to how much they already have.
Thank you for the insightful post and for wanting to make Steemit a more open / honest place.
This is some good information to digest about Steemit and how the "whales" vote. While I don't believe in customizing my content just to make sure that someone with a lot of voting power upvotes my post, it is important to know what the Steemit crowd likes to see.
If nothing else, I think learning how to use headings, catchy titles, markdown, tags, and appropriate pictures will go a long way to making sure that a high-quality post is noticed. After all, even the best post might not be read if it is just a giant paragraph of text.
Thank you so much for this post! Feels like I stumbled on gold. Haha! I'm new to Steemit and cryptocurrency all-together...still getting the hang of everything. This post was exactly what I needed. First, I love the way it is set up. Everything is broken down nicely. Easy to read and to-the-point. Great work with the visuals and especially the information! I've bookmarked this page to refer back to the list of Steemit tools and the links to informative posts. Especially excited to check out the Steemit A-Z posts and Understanding Bitcoin. Sooo happy I found this! Grateful to the person that motivated you to write it. Keep up the great work! I’m looking forward to taking in all of this info now! :)
I hope you'll get to read Understanding Bitcoin. This will be a great help to better understand my upcoming post. I'm glad you read Steemit A-Z. This shows some serious interest.
wow! I’m so moved by what you do...
you are indeed for the community.
You have touched a lot with just a single post
The part where you talked about making the government irrelevant 👍🏽...I can’t wait for the point where government will be begging for people to come work for them, because at this point people are busy doing well for themselves just by the writing...
Personally , I believe the government jobs limits you, it makes you believe so much in the stipends they give ; to the extent you become so comfortable with that as your whole ..
Thanks @teamsteem you really inspire we here(steemit community).
I’m always glad and honored when you visit my blog🙏🏽
Thanks @teamsteem keep doing what you know best 💪🏽
Thank you for this awesome comment!
I’m honored 😊
This is one of the best posts I have seen on here, especially the following paragraph really stands out:
'I'm looking to build a world where compassion and courage prevail over deception and fear, where technology brings transparency in our relationships finally giving honest cooperation the upper hand over any other types of human interaction.'
I have been looking for people who want to change social media, the internet and the planet for the better for so long and it seems I've finally found them!
If anyone reading this has not voted this guy as a witness, I'd suggest you vote right now! Proof that I voted for him can be seen here:
I always find your posts refreshful and immaculately clean of the contrived eagerness of some Steemit advocates and honestly filled with genuine enthusiasm. I also appreciate the deeper, more open-minded and philosophical way you look at things and your passion for truth. Thanks for your educational posts and looking forward to checking out your latest interviews :)
It's the first time that I read his posts and I already notice that yeah it is a different philosophy worth learning from. I'm inspired to keep going and try to base all my present and future project in the technological abundance that Steem as a blockchain provides me(us).
Thank you!
I full agree with you!
send me your connetc facebook id or whats app num if u want to ern btc
I support your advocacy in compassion and courage. The Christian community upholds these values!
wow cant wait til my vote is worth $200 :))
Hehe. In my case, will happen around year 2063 :)
Haha. I know right? How awesome must the feeling of power be?
interesting.... i can't imagine if my vote reaches that high.... long way to dream of... i am just a newbie
First thing first ....
(Quality is an important factor)
This one has reminded me that our content should be with quality
It's my first time blogging . Thanks to steemit!
Yer that would be cool to have that kind of voting power.. people with this kind of voting must have a huge following on other platforms besides steemit.. they drive the traffic to their posts to get the up votes.. is that how it works.
Tq for the vote on my reply
@teamsteem you are an awesome person and with amazing ideology..
As far as I am concerned, I read your post everyday(many times repeating the same post) and everytime I learn something new...
So much to absorb in one reading to I do repeated readings...
e.g. from today's post I learned
"Titles And Thumbnails Are Gateways To Your Posts"
I will work on this and be back on this post to get some more...
Regards
PS
I self upvoted this comment to have more visibility...Hope you won't mind..
awww :) Xabi! You are always so sweet. I'm sure @teamsteem will love reading your comment! hehe.
Indeed it did.
And Karen you ae an amazing friend.
Among the few here on steemit with I really connected. ..
This makes me very happy! Thank you Xabi!
If you are happy than I must be doing something right here on steemit and
This makes me very happy also!!!
Good post. But I think there is some problem for the current HF19 curation mechanism. You see, good quality posts now rely on people like you to reward them, instead of dolphin or normal whales, who votes on themselves or their friends.
This. This is very true.
Are you referring to what linear reward introduced?
Thanks for sharing this detailed post @teamsteem. Thank you for everything that you do, especially all of the votes that you give out on behalf of the community, your SP helps so many people, which is very well illustrated in the graphic breakdown of your votes that you shared!
I think that the blockchain is one of the most innovative technologies of our time, along with AI, renewable energy, and many other technologies such as IoT, medTech in general and more. What I really like about blockchain is that as opposed to all other technology at the moment, blockchain is for everyone. Anyone can get involved in it, anyone can learn to program and start contributing on Github, anyone can invest in an ICO or cryptocurrency, anyone can benefit from what the blockchain has to offer. I'm not saying that it is not without its limitations, but it has so many use cases that it's sometimes hard to see blockchain in a bad light.
Steemit (and STEEM in general) is a perfect example of how revolutionary blockchain can be for people, and you are the perfect example of someone who is leading the way in this change, so I really do thank you for the work that you do, and I would love to help you out in any way that I can - you know where I am if you ever need anything.
Personally, I work full time in the blockchain sector. I work primarily as an ICO adviser, white paper researcher and Steemit blogger. I also just recently started working on a cryptocurrency show, which will be released on Tuesday - I'll be sharing it here when it goes live.
Anyway, I'm also working to try and create the first "Bloggers' Hub" for Steemit. I will be posting about it fully in a few weeks, as I'm currently putting the logistics together for it, but I did a post about it today explaining the basics of what I plan to do.
As well as that, I have decided to start posting a few times a week giving a very brief overview of some upcoming ICOs that week, as there are so many coming out and I want to provide an easy way for people on Steemit to read about them. Once I have more info about the Bloggers' Hub, I'll be really pushing that.
Thanks again for everything that you do for the community, after reading this post and after having seen the work that you do over the past two months, I have decided to vote for you as a witness too!
I have noticed you on a few of my post. I appreciate that you take the time to actually ready my content before leaving a comment
I've been on steemit for exactly a month today. What I'm surprised about is how much Steemit has effected the way I go about my life. I've have a lot of firsts in my life on this platform, blogging, photo editing, video editing, sharing photos and sharing my art work. There are definitely different communities working and supporting each other. Here is my point... I was touched, slapped or blessed by a whale. #19 on the list to be exact. This was a great motivator to continue to improve and that I have the right idea of what to use this platform for. Thanks for your time.
Love this!
Check this post once my dear friends-
https://steemit.com/colorchallenge/@hrisheekrayb/colorchallenge-sunday-purple
If u liked it then upvote it and resteem it.
I am new to this wonderful platform so yours upvote and resteem will be a push for me.
Wow ! It's my first time too
There is SO much value in this post it is crazy. Absolutely crazy! Honestly I wish my vote was worth more than a fraction of 1 cent just so I can vote this more lol. But looking at this post alone shows how much you deserved that delegation! A big and a late congratulation on that! Thanks for giving me some knowledge! I book marked this page!
Thank you! I really enjoyed reading your nice comment!
Nice to "meet" you. I'm a newbie and I've been following and reading "whales" and learning as I go. I'm excited to figure out my place and learn how I can make a difference. All this upvoting and bots is over my head at the moment. I'm focusing on finding the good content, creating some of my own and finding my place here. There's so much I want to write about and I am but no one is reading me yet, so it's sort of pushing a couple of the really good ones I have been working on back more until I meet more people. I shall keep reading and following! Melissa
I really love reading so much human quality in one voice, I say it and I keep it above the level you have, that to get there, you have challenged a long career, but you are at that level for your perseverance and perseverance, overcoming any challenge , and it is the important thing that we learn that we are starting in this great ocean, to swim:
Thank you @teamsteem, for your teachings, for your great heart and for the nobility with which you write your post.
.
Hi @teamsteem, during my drive into work this morning I listened to your interview with @jerrybanfield. What a great and insightful interview it was.
It is really inspiring to listen to both of you and your passion for the Steemit platform. I was so impressed when you stated that you spend so much of your time reading quality content and curating it manually. I was really inspired by that comment and so thankful that you take the time to interact with the authors on Steemit.
It was your interview with @jerrybanfield that made me browse your blog this evening and read some of your content. Much to my delight, your content is of the same quality as what you discussed in the interview. I know in the interview you mentioned that you want to author more content, well I am very supportive of you doing that, I think all of us Steemians can learn from you and your journey on Steemit.
Oh and btw, due to your great interview, quality content and all-round dedication to the platform I have decided to vote for you as one of my 30 witness. Excellent job, keep it up mate.
I cant wait for that this one sir, I hardly knew anything about cryptocurrencies till I joined steemit platform and I have been trying to find my way around investing more in this economy of freedom and fairness as this articles exposes .
@teamsteam is one of the users who keep great writers like me around. Even if my good articles earn cents, I have hope that someday good people like you will smile on me and this keeps me writing.
I have had votes from @curie and it was a great booster, since then I have had generous votes but following you have been a eye opener.
I am guilty of this, I have tried to connect with you through discord without connecting first with your ideologies. Thanks for this education.
Cryptocurrencies are so efficient as tools for exchange values. Especially, Steem made this process faster, more transparent and I love how it rewards those who create the value for its users who are making value for the community. This system is growing so fast because it allowed so many talented people to create their things. This is a real decentralized platform and I am grateful that I am a part of it and have my own share (even a little) on this ecosystem.
That's why I believe Steem Blockchain has a great potential to make more and more peoples' lives better everyday. It's truly about making the world better because when one person succeeds here, he is able to share the secrets of his success with his blog post on the blockchain. It allows others to become more educated about how the things work. I think it can enhance the educational system of the world too. The education that cost so much and is less portable can't be efficient. Steemit can change the picture quite easily for better world.
People may ask but where does the money come from to Steemit? It's easy to answer. Everyone get reward of what one does for others. This process is so fast and efficient here that anyone gets the benefit out of it.
This just sums up the kind of individual you are and I use that line to wish you a Happy Birthday coupled with joyous moments.
My Encounter with you gave me a glimpse into the kind of person you are seeing the work you so passionately do on the Steem Blockchain and the value you add, I can truly tell you are Joy personified.
The deception keeps getting refined and sophisticated, but i am sure with the movement for freedom as is being preached by lots of amazing Steemians as yourself, we will be seeing a world where the people become the governments of their societies.
The divide is being bridged and everyone I come across everyday leaves a tad better than i met them because knowing the juice the Steem runs on, I am able to assure beyond doubts what the world can become.
Happy Birthday once more and have joyous moments over and over again.
Thank Ejemai!
Deception is the true face of these people we call our leaders, corruption is their breakfast, stealing if their first name, fiat money is dead madness, they have enslaved us by their policies and regulations, these are people who were to represent and defend her citizens but rather have turned her people to slaves and servants, cryptocurrency is the future of a new world, freedom and limitlessness. The people who deceive have to always create lies to hide their sinful tracks and faces, but it's only for a while, see how the future scares them in the face, today in my country Nigeria steemit has given mind blowing career opportunities to hundreds of youths, something the government can't do, banks on their end are thieves, robbing poor people off their money and using it to trade without giving the people appreciative givebacks, rather they collect deductions monthly from money saved in the banks by these people, instead of appreciating them for their money, they manipulate and forcefully collect money from their customers directly. Cryptocurrency will bring all that to light, no matter how they fight, we shall win,,,,,,,,...........thanks for sharing, I now know more about bots and bids.
Steemit is really a dog eat dog world but at the same time it’s up to each and every one of us to respect thy neighbor.
You can’t get very far on your own here because it’s the votes from everyone else that will propel you...
I find that a lot of Steemains could care less about their supporters and rarely comment back to those who continue to provide their upvote. I can see by reading through your comments that you actually take the time to practice what you preach.
This is why I started following you this evening.
I have been a little absent lately but I have spent hours and hours working on my posts and networking here on the platform. I strive to be successful here- not for the money but for the comradery. People like you make me feel like this is possible.
If not for those who guide my way- I’d have no light to shine through.
Thanks for teaching me something beyond the content of your post.
Hi @teamsteem, this is a great post and I found a lot of value from it. As a relatively new user (June 2017) I have yet to get my head around all of the concepts and opportunity the platform offers and at times feel overwhelmed. Your post brought me some clarity.
I have concentrated on writing posts to the best of my ability and have written from the heart about many topics and admit that I have felt some disappointment at results garnered from those posts at times. Let me clarify; I don't simply mean the pay-dirt of a dollar reward, I mean the exposure and interaction from other users, or lack thereof.
I have had posts achieve anywhere from $0.10 to $100+ (the latter are very rare) and seem to have an average of about $5SBD payouts. Some would say that's not a lot however for me it's quite a bit. But disappointingly I have had a distinct lack of interaction at times except from a few comments from my regulars and very little else besides the many good post steemit dear, follow me now remarks, which I despise. I've written posts and have had a reasonable (for me at least) SBD reward and yet out of the 12 or so votes I've received on it have only had 2 actual views. That indicates to me people are simply voting on my posts and not reading the content. Their prerogative of course, but disheartening to me when I have put my heart and soul into the post. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful to the loyal followers who read and vote however it's disconcerting to put 3-4 hours of work into researching and posting a piece to have 1 or 2 view it, and maybe not even read all the way through.
Anyway, That's just the way it is and I understand that there are people on the platform that have no views on their posts at all so I count myself as fortunate to have some loyal followers who read and remark here and there.
Your post was nice to read today as it reminded me that there are some outstanding people on the platform and it's not simply a feudal system where the upper-echelon kings and queens [read whales and dolphins] skim the rewards on the backs of the serfs and peasants [read krill, plankton, minnows etc.]
After reading your post I am ashamed to say that I upvote my own work; I don't know if that's a good or bad thing to admit but I was inspired to see your own self-vote percentage was super low. To my discredit I have not read any of your work, a fact I will rectify today.
You probably will not read this reply however it's on the blockchain and so I'm going to take the opportunity to thank you for a little inspiration when needed most. There, it's official, I said it. :)
[- Design and create your ideal life, don’t live it by default - DM on Discord @galenkp#9209 -]
If you putted something in you get something out whether or not your post is worth 0$.
Imagine being on Facebook and not knowing anyone? Could you imagine what it would feel like and what your interaction would feel like? How would you make real connection. That's where we are right now. Soon everyone of you know will join. Don't expect Steem to be this static thing that doesn't evolve.
Thank you for your reply, you’re right of course. :)
@teamsteem I am glad you mentioned the Voting BOTS. I have used them before but like you said I believe they may not be worth using. The Money I spent recently on the BOTS with my SBD may have just been better Powered UP to STEEM. You may or may not agree but that is what I am just figuring out.
Interesting point.
I think your philosophy is right on, I have the utmost respect for you. I believe you embody genuine well articulated purpose in your life and it shows you care about other people. I admire these quality's and believe they are the basis for success. Your work is inspirational and you are doing a great job keep it up.
Thank you!
Thanks for the list of useful tools. Otherwise, this is one of the most discouraging posts I've read in awhile. You say:
I wonder what the top end will be for the percentage of the reward pool the vote bots will be? 15% to 30% to 60%? What's to stop that? I vote less on people that use so many vote bots, and I've stopped following plenty of them, too. If the vote bots turn out to be good for the value of Steem, so be it -- and I'll benefit from that.
I could watch the QVC Home Shopping Network and late-night infomercials on TV. I could gamble online 24/7. Both of them are simply mind-numbing and ultimately depressing. The same is true - for me at least - with the bought vote and bid bots.
The vote buying has ruined the value of reputation, too, as it can be bought so easily. Maybe the SMTs and communities will put a clamp on all this, as quality communities can block out this behavior and set up their own reputation and reward structure.
Great points. I too think bid bots the way they are pose an issue for the reasons you raised. Where will it stop and what would be the reasons for it to reverse course. I look forward to a solution that would render them unprofitable.
That being said I'll probably use them on this very post.
Hahaha any one of us would've told the exact opposite of what @ogoowinner said!
@teamsteem, you're doing a great job by not exhausting the reward pool on your own posts and instead, bringing others up with your support.
I thank you on their behalf too!
I agree! She's awesome!
Totally!
Btw @teamsteem, when you've a couple of minutes to spare, please read this:
I've found an excellent initiative that seems to align with your ideas of giving and supporting the newer users on the platform.
It's called The Deadpost Initiative, started by user @whatamidoing, where the -
are rewarded after they've been paid out.
Thanks to this and @whatamidoing's efforts of producing 20 weekly posts of this kind, some quality content creators have already been identified. It's surprising to me that this helpful initiative is still not well known and supported by the Steemit community, and because of which, he's been even paying out of his pockets to award the winners.
I kindly request you to take a look at it by yourself and decide if you'd like to support it.
Thank you again!
I'll check it out.
Amazing! He'll be thrilled! :)
It is hard to imagine that many people around the world live on $2 or less per day. STEEM and Steemit can dramatically improve the lives of many people in these kinds of situations especially since they are mobile friendly.
I cannot wait to see what the next few years entails for STEEM as a cryptocurrency. It took Facebook well over a decade to get to the point it is at now so there is plenty of time and space for growth in the future.
Must be a lot of pressure to use that power for good. People will be watching what you do. It seems some whales just reward their favourites, so we see the same names on the trending page. We need more diversity If steemit is to grow. I'm not sure if people make money from the voting bots, but I see some paying huge amounts for a vote. Of course the sellers always win. Steemit is a new form of economy. I've chosen how I want to act here. It may not be the most profitable option, but I want to help this platform reach it's potential
The sellers always wins. I agree. Great point.
I really liked your idea of making governments irrelevant, is it because I'm from Venezuela? achieve total independence as an individual is great, I must confess that it is the first time I read you and I have a whirlwind with all the data you gave, I will read every step of the way, thanks for this million data, I hope to be part of your mission, I do my best to help.
Yes I've been reading the same message from other long time Steemers, and I hope this message doesn't get lost as Steem grows bigger. It does seem like human nature is against the odds of this turning into another sh*t-show (oops I mean Facebook). But for now, at least, the "quality posts and non-negative comments" mentality is still winning the day, and like I said, I hope that continues. I'll be here as long as it does.
this is the first time that I had read your blog, and it is very interesting, very informative and a lot of lesson to learn. I got inspired to read some of your blog post.
I am actually just starting to have my journey in steemit and I really find it difficulty. But everyday I Read every post in many steemians like inspiration..
thank you so much for sharing this..
Stop smiling at me, and give me some of those upvotes 😉
It has been nearly one year but I am still not very familiar about using the bid bots. Being an artist, these things really seeem too technical for me and I do not love to explore them here. But you have explained all the things here very clearly and your thoughts about steemit are really nice. Users like you will surely take the steem to the moon.
Ive thought about what it would be like having such a powerful vote, I would upvote and surprise lil minnows who deserve it most!
Yes, You would make someone happy for 4 - 6 weeks with that upvote. You would help who desperate.
With that sort of upvote a minnow will also get a small chunk of nice Steem Power, beyond the readily spendable SBD.
That would be an awesome thing to do. We need encouragement!
Snoop snoop snoop. hehe
Your SP is substantional but i could never have guessed it was that much daily. Thats a crazy amount. And considering the price of Steem has doubled since 2 months ago.
Since we all know what Steemit has been like with reward pool related disagreements and bot abuse, i have to say that it simply amazes me that you could have self voted yourself into 2-3k USD a day.
2000-3000 USD.
Wow!
I consider myself a ethical individual but i cant even guess how hard it would be to fight the temptation.
Its a 2 month old post, but if by any chance you see this, you have another fan. Regards.
Wow! Great quality info, I am only one month old here, I have spread the word to my students, encouraging them to join steemit, we live in Venezuela, a beautiful country with a terrible government, but there are great people here, not everything nor everybody is bad, so, I try to learn and teach whatever I can to help everybody earn and grow, thank you!
Some lil minnows who have excellent quality in their posts but less exposure and upvotes - they are the ones who deserves help from whales, some resort to bid in the bots for their exposure for a wider audience.
Somehow, it is wise to use bots to have a good start in steemit world for you to cope up some steem power.
I totally agree with you
Definitely the only resort for us bots ! Because the bots are our biggest friends for the things we do in Steemit family.Otherwise, no matter how well-informed we share, we will be gone.... @elizahfhaye @teamsteem
I was saying that below or above or wherever my post landed. I have great estate and fabulous finds stories. I don't want to post the really good stuff til I meet more people. So I will continue to read and post until them I guess. I'm sure if I keep reading, I'll learn how to optimize the process--
nice.
Hi @teemsteem, it's a pleasure to find posts like yours.
Thank you very much!
My experience on the platform is short, but day by day, I'm giving advice from people who, through their practice, try to help the youngest. As I read in the comments, we all started from the lowest position, and the success of staying on top is keeping in touch with the other Steemians.
The information is very detailed, with everything necessary to achieve quality content.
I confess that I have to use the google translator on some occasions, but if I want to learn, I must make an effort.
By the way, I accompany you in the ideal of building a world where compassion and courage prevail over deception and fear. As a Venezuelan I live daily the vicissitudes of a government that through deception and fear has been in power for 19 years.
Dear @teamsteem.
I always think of this before I publish my post. but do you feel it's applicable to all post or it can be categorized ?
Especially for minnows who see post title as a medium to summarize what they wrote in their content.that might give them more edge for reader to open their link
I love your simplicity and selfless service on steemit. please keep it up because we all look. up to you as a blessing to humanity
Post's title should always be the most powerful part of your post. The information contain in the title isn't important. The only important thing is to get the person to read the title and click on it.
Another important part could be to try to trick google to direct a lot of traffic to your post. I haven't worked on this much yet but I'll be working on it. The idea is that your information is only influential if people get in contact with it.
In a sense, this summarizes why I follow your writings here, as a fellow idealist who sees the potential to create a better world... not matter what the deceivers and frauds in life might bring to our door. Appreciate all your efforts around here, and the fact that you spread your influence generously to all of those who are trying their best to make a difference here. So thank you for that!
Yes, this is definitely a useful "recruiting post," and perhaps even more useful to point people to, once they have arrived here and are wondering "what now?"
Keep up the good work; stay true to yourself, never lose sight of what we're trying to accomplish with this community!
Thanks for posting this @teamsteem! I felt bad about using bots sometimes, and this made me feel better. We were just discussing this with friends last night...it sucks to spend time on content and then nobody seesit (and it makes less than $3 LOL):
I'm glad to have you in our vegan discord group, and that a passionate person like you is in a position to make a difference on this platform.
E
The "quality fact" is, what keeps me posting.
Some posts I did, didn´t even get ONE vote. Allthough they are not that bad quality.
Anyhow... creating good content will payout some day...I hope so.... :-)
But if I look at some people´s posts here which get about 50 - 150$ just for a meme and a few words.... hmmm....
I´ll keep doing my thing here on Steemit. :-)
Best regards,
Hasenmann
PS: Upvoted and resteemed. You got a new follower. :-)
Begs the question...what do you look for when upvoting or resteeming? Seems a trend (or at the very least, an appearance) that some/many whales do for each other rather than 'sharing the love'.
