There is a saying that pretty much goes like: "Markets are totally based on human psychology" or something like this...
What that means is that when people who are invested in crypto, don't have the "right mentality" and good "psychology" for whatever reason, that reflects in prices too. And vise versa...And it is often described as downtrend or uptrend.
You may wonder why am I saying this.
Well, it's because it reminds me my steem journey and most likely, many of you can relate with that. It wasn't long ago, where people and by people I mean the last brave and active ones felt kinda sick of how things play out regarding our beloved steem. Most of the posts people used to upload, - myself included -, had a bitter taste and quite often proposals on how will we make things work.
How will we make things work huh...?
This is what I love most about steem you know. The fact that there is a really strong community who want steem to thrive and when things don't really work...well, they make them work! They care about this place...and about this coin. For many of us this is their shelter...their way to express their selves in ways that hadn't even tried before in real life.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light....
The only difference is that in our case it's people who made and keep making this place brighter.
It's @aggroed and the whole team behind this great project. Palnet.io of course...
It's @theycallmedan and @oracle-d who joined forces and created @threespeak, the first decentralized and fully uncensored platform on the web.
It's the amazing job made by @DTube team and the launch of their brand new site.
Last but not least @steem.leo team who have created a blogging site for investors.
Tokenization of the web is here, it's live and we are part of it.
The old-dogs of the platform, used to blog and earn steem and sbd's. Who would have thought it back then -mid 2016- that for the very same content an author will be able to earn 3, 4, 5 different coins. Yeah you heard me....
Let's see...how about creating a vlog on @threespeak, talking about investing opportunities and such...and upload it? "You could earn: Speak tokens + some sweet upvotes from @theycallmedan and @oracle-d depending on your quality. Then you will earn some PAL coins and some LEO coins as long as you use the proper tags. And finally steem and sbd."
If that's not awesome...I don't really know what is. And remember..for the very same content...
Well at the beginning of this post I mentioned the word psychology. Looks like those bad black days in terms of psychology are way back and...forgotten.
Everyone is watching the latest developments and are pretty excited. And they should be.
Exciting times are ahead of us... I am telling you! The only thing that's left to be done is to let everyone know the truth.
Our truth...
The message below is more or less the same as I wrote to another Steemfriend here on the platform @oaldamster
'Sorry for little engagement lately mate. Am on a big job for weeks already, in Zoetermeer in a 13 floor (with an extra 6 floor wing) high building. It's wearing me out a bit. Hope to have finished in the next two weeks.'
Anyway, just to let you know: haven't given up on Steem, just too busy right now to engage here much.
And I was wondering if everything is ok to be honest with you.
I am sure you wouldn't give up so easily brah, we share the same mindset, remember?
Now that I know that everything is fine...well...I forgive you. That will cost you a few extra beers actually :)
