Yesterday was my first Steemiversary, and in the spirit of the robotlution that is taking place on Steemit, I decided to have a bottle of Brewski Red Robot DIPA.
During my first year here, I managed to accumulate a substantial amount of Steem Power by powering up 100% of what I earn from authoring, investing my own money, and curating. The ~3600 SP that I have puts me in a position of being able to distribute 8-9 Steem Dollars a day in the form of rewards.
Going forward, I will continue to support my favorite authors, and I will spend more time in #photofeed, where I will look to reward new talented photographers. I also hope that the upcoming communities will facilitate human interaction and help decrease automation.
Last but not least, I want to thank those of you that have been supporting me during this year. You guys are awesome, and it's been a lot of fun "having you around" :) Cheers!
Dan
Happy Steemitversary, Dan! (: To celebrate that special day I wrote you a poem. (It is my first poem in English so embrace yourself :D)
Dan worked hard and made some great reviews.
He made us drink without an alcohol abuse.
As Brewski says "Not just another Beer",
I wish you have "Not just another Year".
:D Cheers!
Hahah, I must say that your rhymes are great - they certainly made my day! 😁 Hehe, I'm flattered that you wrote your first ever poem in English for me. Thank you, Eva!
You are welcome :)
one year - congratulations Dan!
It's been great getting to know you and to share snippets of life from one side of the world to the other.
Also, getting to learn from you has been a true blessing.
Cheers!
наздраве

Благодаря, Деб, и наздраве! :)) Same here - you've been an important part of my journey on Steemit :)
Let's hope that the bot problem gets adressed by the developers.
In the meantime... happy anniversary!
The bot problem is indeed very serious :)
Yes, I hope the wait will be worth it! Thanks man :)
Congrats!
Does the robot on the bottle have pineapple guts? I have to know.
Thank you! It has pineapple and passion fruit guts 😁🍍
Congrats bro!!
You got so much out of curating yeah? Wow, I didnt realise it was so lucrative, or was this just in the early days?
Milestones are cool! enjoy it with a decent beer!
Thanks @karinxxl! Okay, I probably confused you a bit because I put curation at the front; it wasn't much different in the early days, so I have earned the least amount of SP from curation. That said, nowadays I earn between 0.5 and 1 SP a day from upvoting other Steemians - not that bad!
The beer was awesome :)
Not bad at all! Thats a decent amount actually and giving such big votes also must feel rewarding
It is rewarding, and given the price of SBD is higher, a 100% upvote gives the author a decent ~$1.5 USD :)
Congratulations!
And great choice of beer! The bottle is great, too. Nice photos, with your light-up keyboard providing bokeh interest. How'd it taste?
And thanks for providing quality, interesting content and great photos!
It tasted like a typical good quality IPA - fruity and refreshing! Needless to say, it was strong enough to give me a slight buzz :)
Thank you so much, Mark! I appreciate all your comments and support 🙇
Happy Steemiversary. I found Steemit around 8 months ago but that 4 months difference seems like 4 years in the crypto world :) The next year is going to be interesting.
Thanks man! Yes, 4 months difference is huge as the user base grew a lot during that time. Back then, it wasn't that difficult to get noticed and accumulate SP :)
Congrats dear! You are by far my favourite steemian!
That's such a nice thing to hear, Di 😊 Thanks for being my friend!
beer, coffee and dilapidated buildings
its the recipe for a grate stieemian...:)
Haha! Thank you my friend!
Hi, Dan! Been so long! I lost access to my @ablckbrd account in early November, and now I am using this account. (Dunno if you still remember me thoug!) Cheers! Looking forward to your posts. :)
It's been so long @olaivart! Of course, I remember you - I even wondered a few times what happened to you🙄 Glad that you are back :)
Thank you, Dan! See you around! :D
Augurissimi e salute Dan!!!! (Sorry this morning I'm too lazy to write in english)
Благодаря ти много, Стиймитри! 😁
Fortunately there is Google Translate ;-)
Ciaooooo
Happy 1 year around, Dan! I am happy to meet so many people like you on the platform, and although I am not so powerful like you, I am enjoying the time here. Wish you all the best on your second year here! And third, fourth....
We should enjoy a beer together again, huh? Cheers!
Thank you so much, Miro! I wish you all the best, too :) We should definitely enjoy a beer!
Аз съм в Исландия сега за известно време, но на прибиране мога да взема някакви местни бири, които да пробваме :) Надявам се само на летището да продават крафт бира.
Айде, ще чакам тогава. Дано да има добри попадения!
Happy anniversary and keep up the good work :)
Thank you @erikah! :)
The pleasure is all mine :)
Cool! I can't wait to see how I will evolve until I am also reaching my first year on here! :)
Hehe, you have several more months to go :) How do you find it so far? Do you feel like you have evolved since you joined back in December?
Of course! :D
I definitely improved my way of seeing things and how to write about them. My hopes of becoming a travel blogger and to travel the world seems more real day by day and I met a lot of nice people! So I love steemit :)
I keep my fingers crossed that one day you will be able to live comfortably by doing what you enjoy most. That is by traveling and blogging :)
Thank you so much! These are the best wishes I could every receive 🤗
Wow a year! Congratulations for the result!
I do not know if I'm doing well but I'm trying to invest the earnings in ico and the aim is to reinvest the earnings in steem power ... maybe I'm a bit crazy, but as I say, the important thing is to have fun!! : D
Thank you, Alessandro! I was trying to trade with coins last year, but I stopped after I lost about 30% of what I had. I am not good at it :) So, I ended up exchanging all coins that I had for Steem.
How is it going with your coins? I guess the best thing with ICO's is to buy and hold?
Unfortunately, the markets have unpredictable trends, so you have to be informed, study and also have a lot of luck 😃
My account is positive for the moment...
My best result using the money earned with Steemit was with the Credits ... bought at $ 0.20 and now worth $ 0.81...
It is not always correct to hold... it depends on the news, development team etc... however often hold is a good strategy 😃
Studying the coins, staying informed with what's happening, watching the graphs... This sounds like another time-consuming activity 😃 I think I'm done trading for good! Haha
Yes, that's right. To do well you should spend a lot of time ... I will only trade when I have time ... otherwise I do nothing and I hope :)
Happy anniversary! 💚
Thank you Ema! I hope you are well...
Congratulations! I always enjoy your posts, keep them coming
Thanks a lot @nikv! 🐈 I always enjoy your comments :)
Yo dude congratulations! Always enjoy you pictures and your posts. Thanks for being a friend on Steemit.
By the way, my name is Mike. :-))
Yo Mike! Why are you Dennis here? 😁 Thanks a lot man, you are one of the coolest persons that I've met on Steemit :))
The same back atcha.
I was sitting in my chair one nite, and my wife (the bringer of all things weird and wonderful) took my laptop and said, "I want to sign you up for this steemit thing. You need to pick a name tag," Not knowing what it was, the name dennisauburn came out. And that's how these things happen. :-))
Your wife told you to sign up? 😁 Is she on Steemit too? Haha
She made me do it!!! I am enjoying what I do on Steemit, which really isn't very much. She is much more active than I am. I'm always trying to catch up with her... :-))
Hehe, I am now curious to see what she's blogging about :) What's her nickname?
Well now, because she does a lot, she's not keen on getting that info out as general information. But she's mariannewest. She stays busy. :-))
Congrats.
That is some really strange beer you have there. Tasty?
Thanks @ocrdu :) Very fruity and tasty!
What's your name, btw?
Aren't my initials enough?
Anyway, I'm not all that formal about such things, so you can call me "Your Holiness", or "Herr Diplomingenieur" if you're German.
Heehee.
I am not German, but I like "Herr Diplomingenieur" :) hehe
Congratulations on making it to a year @irreverent-dan. Great choice of beer!
Things have changed so much since I joined, just 5 months ago, it will be interesting to see what's going on by the time I get to my anniversary.
Hopefully we'll still be here!
Haha, the moment I saw the robot, I made an instant association to Steemit 😁 Thank you Gillian for all your support and witty comments! I enjoy them a lot :)
I hope we are not going anywhere.
Ditto @irreverent-dan.
I've enjoyed the laughs we've had in the time I've been here. Even if you do go awol at times! 😂
Seems like you've had a good first year and are looking forward to year 2! :D Congratz and keep on Steemin'! (And drinking beer coming from cute bottles, nice!)
Thanks a lot Rosanne! 🙇 It was more than a good one. When I joined Steemit back in the day, I didn't expect to make any friends or money :) So I am very happy!
Can you recommend me a good Dutch craft beer?
Ah, so many! I've tasted and loved them a LOT! Really depends on what your style is - blonds, doubles, triples, hops, stouts, sweet (Belgian style, not the fruit/cherry ones of course!), you name it.
A great Dutch brewery I like is 'De Molen': http://brouwerijdemolen.nl/en/ They have amazing beers and the names of the beers are always fun, plus their 'look' is simple and strong which I love :-)
Haha :) It looks like your are quite knowledgeable about beers! Depending on the season and my mood, I drink different styles. Right now, I am into decently alcoholic IPAs.
I've got to check the Dutch stand next time I visit the beer shop (that will be in June). Thanks for the recommendation!
Congrats Dan! Even though we have just met our conversations have been very casual and comfortable. Thank you for your support it makes a big difference. I am looking forward to more friendly post chat this is what Steemit is all about bringing people together in Peace ;)
Thanks a lot man! Likewise, I have enjoyed our conversations :) Despite the cons of the platform, I don't know of any other place where you meet so can so many decent people.
You are welcome :)
The second year will be even better than the first
I didn’t realize how close our steemit birthdays were! I’m hoping the price of Sbd will shoot up a few more times so I can power up too
Haha, that's true. I kind of missed the post about your anniversary, so I am going to read it now :)
Are you holding SBD?
I’m going to try to buy back the btc I just spent on eos when it dropped back down to 12, after that I will try to save about half my sbd to power up:-)
The last time I tried to trade with BTC, Steem and Monero, I lost quite a lot, lol :) So, good luck!
Congrats on your Steemitversary! Here is to the years to come..cheers!
Thanks a lot, Joe! Cheers 🍻
Congratulations! You have worked hard and tasted a lot of beer too :)
The glass in your hand is from my neck of the woods I believe. Have you tried [Dead guy Ale}(https://www.rogue.com/products/dead-guy-ale)
Thank you my friend! Haha, the truth is, I never tasted anything from Rogue 😁 Is it good? I think the shop in Sofia sells it.
Defiantly worth a try!
Steemiversary!! Ha ha love it, you word-smith! Seriously though, congrats on hitting the one year mark, and a nice choice of beer! How was it... Looks like an IPA, my favorite!! :o)
Haha, I cannot take credit for the Steemiversary as I have seen other people using the word before :D But thanks a lot, man! :) If IPAs are your thing, I think you would have liked this one :)
Wow it looks wonderful my friend...I wonder how it tastes :/ Yesterday I drunk two bottle of hoegaarden and I was really awesome.Anyway thank you for sharing and have a good weekend...
Thank you Mustafa! :) Like most India pale ales, this one was fresh and fruity and with a bitter finish. I also like Hoegaarden :)
