Say Hello To A New Minnow! – The Blockchain Is Changing My Life

A storm is coming, dear Steemians and MSM should be grateful I'm not a dolphin

I am, however, a minnow now! Whoop-whoop!

Two days ago, I published a video on dtube, in which I say:

"I'm not gonna report someone who's like the smallest fish in the ocean to the biggest sharks."

@steemitboard commented and said:

I feel like a teenage love affair, incredibly strong, rebellious and new. When I came here, Bildschirmfoto 20190429 um 05.13.49.png ago, I had just quit working as a journalist. After extensive researches in human trafficking that nobody was willing to publish, a high ranking politician (involved in child abuse & trafficking) who sued me and lots of other struggles which made me finally realize that I was supporting human trafficking myself by simply being a part of "the media". This opaque web of stakeholders and investors who decide what's known and what stays a secret.

The first post I published on steem (While you discuss slavery from 200 years ago the German government is enslaving unemployed citizens) was still very much journalistic and lost in my highly opinionated state of mind, but you already notice the tiny cracks and hear the crackle in phrases like

«The real threat is happening, while we get played by the rules of divide and conquer by some elitist terrorists.»

But I was still living this old paradigm, divided and dependent, excellently depicted in my last words:

«Greetings from Germany,
May B.
white & poor, but positive»

I don't feel poor, anymore. I don't feel powerless, nor polarized: I am colorful. I am grateful for the abundance I couldn't see before. Steem, crypto, and the blockchain played a big part in changing me. It is like an outward neuroplasticity tool that helps you leave your comfort zone. Learning so many new and positive things it is impossible to avoid making some progress. I've been heading towards different new shores thanks to steem and found lots of people that helped me grow by teaching me new stuff or simply supporting my mindset and encourage me. I've changed from depressive and lost to someone who loves herself and encourages others to do the same!

Steemians I would like to thank are:

@redpalestino was the first to ever delegate to me and I didn't even notice it until it ended. When he took away his delegation, I learned a lot about the topic. Thanks for both, delegating AND taking it away.

@Sammosk and @stitchybitch & 'fake-bot' @msp-creativebot:
Counsel, upvotes, a human controlled bot-service, and magical sparkle! Thank you, guys. @Sammosk is even partly responsible for me not being afraid of spiders anymore!

@somena:
I met so many cool people on steem but she was my first! We called each other sisters instantly and encouraged one another other to grow on steem. This place where you meet people who help you grow and change your life. Thank you for making me feel at home.

@frankbacon for resteems & spells.

@curie for their powerful curation that often made me rich for one day! Once, you even made me cry. :)

@steem-ua for providing their useful service

@nathanmars for all the gifts, for what you do to get investors on board, for the hustle and positivity.

@deepsouthpiddlin for her passion and dedication to this blockchain and open arms towards me.

@kerrywolf for almost guaranteed resteems, upvotes, and this screenshot!

@canna-curate:
This relationship is still a little baby but I found a lot of like-minded people on #canna-curate! @Sammosk and @stitchybitch, e.g. or @mondoshawan, @prettynicevideo, @jonyoudyer. I also met @rawpride and @hotsauceislethal. Last three mentioned helped me buying my first crypto last week which turned me into this beautiful minnow! BÄMM, guys! Thank you so much. Also on the plus side: It already increased. If you love the holy cannabis plant, you should definitely check out GHRO (Greenhouse Radio Online) on discord. Supportive Steemians, mindblowing streams, and interesting radio shows. Also check out the tag #canna-curate and I smokingly hot suggest smoke.io! – the blockchain for canna-content.

Some plancton I think you should help turn into minnows also:

@araksa-dragonkey: She is here for 20 days, reputation is already at 54. She posts regularly, her content is unique and powerful. Please show her, we're worth her time. You're the first person I ever delegated to just a few seconds ago. Yay! Win-win!

@wakeupkitty: writing & networking, networking, networking. Someone has to share. She does.

@amethystmidnight: paintings, poetry, writing. Obviously going through a tough phase right now. So, maybe leave her a comment and show her some love.
