Finally Hit the Big 100k!!!

in #steem5 years ago (edited)

After just over three years of blogging, investing and committing to this blockchain (and I'm talking about being religiously consistent by showing up everyday like this was an actual job), I've made it to my ultimate goal. Or, to be more realistic, my sole aim from when I started out on here. Wow, that was intense ride that was! But anyways, I've made it here and can now take my foot of the accelerator a tad. Just a tad, mind...

social-100k-square-v2_b8d6583c-e18f-4ee3-9b16-9187c02f15a1.jpg


I've just realized my thumbnail resembles the word "look" with a small "l". Lol, whatever. So the big question is... Now what? Maybe I'll take a break from blogging. Temporarily or maybe even permanently. Or better still... Power it all down and buy myself something fancy. Hang on a minute, that's the devil inside me trying to force it's way out. Let me bust him hard in the face to knock his horned ass back to sleep indefinitely again. Coz the way I feel right now? Fuck it, let's aim for a cool million.

Will I get there? Probably not. But that's not the point. I remember well when we had our price increase last year and STEEM was measured in dollars, not cents like today. I told my missus that the opportunity to get to 100k STEEM was long gone. Let's just bask in the payouts and be satisfied with what we have. Then the downturn came. Everyone was pissed and leaving left right and centre. I know (and you too, most likely) a few "prominent" names we had, that departed from the blockchain because they weren't getting the payouts they thought they deserved or just generally couldn't arsed anymore. You could say, a few might have been perceived as "ambassadors" of the blockchain at the time. To them, I say, "You bitch ass sellout motherfuckers, you."

The real ambassadors of this blockchain (not saying I'm one) are usually the people who don't feel the need to self-proclaim their greatness to all, but simply "act" and "do". And these individuals are the ones I've being using as my constant example to keep on pushing up that mountain to where I am today. I'm not naming names (that would be plain pretentious of me), but they know who they are. I salute them all and wanna say that the level of respect I have for them, knows no bounds. Many thanks for the inspiration you provided throughout my STEEM career. Because lets be real. Sometimes you just can't be bothered to write a blog or record a vlog. These stand-out individuals are the fuel you require to carry on and stay motivated.

But hey, this post ain't supposed to be a rant. No, it's gotta uplift and be positive, right? So as I was saying. What next? Well, the answer is simple. This blockchain is nothing like the one I first signed up to. It's fast turning into a thriving eco-system with huge potential behind it. Many still insist on shitting on it's parade, but I couldn't give two fucks really. Not even one. If I listened to that bullshit, I'd be long gone by now. No, I basically adopted the same mindset as I did from day one. I'm also quite well invested in a number of now projects too and plan to expand upon this aspect of my STEEM journey in the near future. As well as collecting more of that precious goddamn STEEM along the way for as long as I can.

So no way! As far as I'm concerned, this party's just getting started. And on a side note, the people on here who follow suit and are also trying to build their accounts on a daily basis, have my utmost respect too. After all, the more people who approach their accounts in a similar manner to mine, the better for the decentralization (yes, "that" word again) and furtherment of this blockchain and, in turn, all of us who live on here. I ain't going nowhere. This STEEM train is way too much fun to be getting off now!

Nice one, bud. :)

The real ambassadors of this blockchain (not saying I'm one) are usually the people who don't feel the need to self-proclaim their greatness to all, but simply "act" and "do".

This. Glad those self proclaimed ambassadors are gone.

Confgrats on 100k! Hopefully I'll get back to it soon!

And here we have one of those ambassadors in person! Acidyo! Thanks a lot, buddy! You've also provided much inspiration for me on here so I salute you too. Heaps of appreciation hurled your way, man. :)

They all are not gone. I have a feeling that some of them are spamming and sucking the rewards with alternative accounts.

Woah! What an milestone, congrats buddy! :D

Man, I missed you! Where you been???

Lol, me and you go back right to the start. I never thought I'd be sitting on this amount of STEEM! Hope you'll be joining me here soon. Please start posting again, man.

We need @getonthetrain back on track! :)

Oh, just got back from a family road trip. Arizona to Maine and back :D

Spent about a month seeing the sights, with two weeks with my family in Massachusetts.

Congratulations! I hope you are aiming for 200k SP now...

Thanks, bud. And as for aiming for 200k SP? You and me both, by the looks of it!

Well done to you on attaining such an awesome account. :)

Awesome journey man!
I wish you good luck for the future.
We'll keep building this place!

Posted using Partiko Android

Many thanks! We're all building together. :)

nice!

Thank you, bud. :)

CongratZ. There will be another 280M Steem that will be produced in next 15 years. Assuming half of them will be sold to the market, we need 140 die-hard Steemians like you and @exyle to be #steemmillionaire to consume those sold out Steem. There are currently 11 #steemmillionaire accounts except STINC accounts (https://steemitboard.com/ranking/index.php?p=0&s=vests).

I have $100K Steem goal (my SPs are stored in several accounts) in 2019, I just need another 38K to reach 100K. I would also like to be part of #steemmillionaire like you. Steem to the Moon!

You put your point across on the most awesome way possible! Damn, that's motivational stuff if ever I heard any for building on the STEEM blockchain. Appreciated your comment, buddy. Thanks! :)

Congrats on reaching your goal and still trying to go further.

There's a thing that bothers me a little, those early users with good and consistent content, made a community and helped each other, but I feel their not really into helping new users with good and consistent content. Maybe I'm haven't searched enough. (Though that completely makes sense, because they already have what they were looking for and don't have the free space anymore).

First off, thanks for the nice words!

And to your point, I honestly believe Steemit is only one part of a much bigger picture. Look about at all the other Dapps are expand your horizons there too, if possible.

And with that, I wish you all the very best, bud. :)

I've seen some of the other projects but didn't dig deep to find out how to participate. So maybe that should be the next move.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Hey man, I'm happy for you. Congratulations, you deserve it.

Congratulations!

I’m hoping for Steem to drop like a rock so I can pick up some more cheap. 😅

Looks like it's pretty cheap already. Dollar cost average in from here, if you can, my friend. :)

Wh00p! I remember in January we were in London celebrating Rea’s 100k! Super proud you made it there too :D Glad to find people hete who pushed through ‘regardless’ - let’s make sure they strengthen their wallets before the good times arrive :-) Cheers!

Thanks a lot, @soyrosa! And yeah, Rea is a better person than I in that respect, lol. But yeah, it's all about switching off to the FUD and going for it. Kinda like you are!

All the very best. :)

Good job. My plan is 10k then 20k. I just want a full upvote to be worth 1 steem. I guess you can make 5 steem an upvote!

Posted using Partiko Android

Very respectable amount you got there, pal. Your foundation grows... :)

Always love a success story. Looking forward to reaching that milestone in the next few years on Steem.

As I believe in always speaking out, if you are not sure what to continue doing with your SP hope you cast eyes my way in any way you can support a growing minnow.

Thanks in advance, Ezzy. 😊😊

Wow congrats ! 🍾🎊🎉 I wish I stayed as consistent as you did !

You're doing just fine, man! Push to that 10k first, then beyond! :)

Wow 100K, double Orca status now that's pretty impressive and some real commitment to the chain, the way i see it is SP is now moving into accounts of people who believe in the place and the future of it and to me thats a good sign

I hope to at least hit dolphin soon!

Thanks very much, buddy. And yes, SP is definitely flowing into the hands that wanna keep it. Or those who really believe in this blockchain.

Best of luck getting to Dolphin status. :)

Congrats on the incredible milestone. My next goal is having a total of 10KSP.

I appreciate your enthusiasm and commitment to Steem. I also appreciate you being honest that the Steem blockchain is nothing like it was when you signed up. I think that is important for people to realize. A lot has changed and it will continue to do so at a crazy pace.

We all have a choice to make. Either buckle up or jump off!

Oh man, this blockchain is unrecognizable from it's first iteration. I just consider myself lucky to have been around to watch it all evolve.

Buckle or jump off! So damn true, my friend. :)

Epic milestone bro. Steem on!!!

Thanks, brother! Keepin' them wheels turning. :)

You are a legend my man! We still getting that Lambo! Congratulations

Lol, one can dream, my friend! Thanks, man! :)

That's huge. Congratulations on your staying power and belief!

Thanks, buddy! Onwards and upwards. :)

Congratulations!

Great milestone and the best way to inspire everyone to archives the same goal. You really prove that with the right amount of focus and dedication to the blockchain and blogging you can do everything you set your mind in to.

Thanks for the kind words, pal. All the hardwork and consistency is paying off. Slowly but surely. :)

Congrats @ezzy :)
Hope to see you two in Bangkok this year!?

Nice one, @ramengirl. Hope you're well! Sadly, I doubt very much we will make it this year. But if we do, would be awesome to catch up. :)

That’s an enormous number! Real steemians are doing great lately and you are one example.
Steem on!

"I told my missus that the opportunity to get to 100k STEEM was long gone."
Until I got here I was wondering what you meant by the big 100K, just shows I am not that smart. Congratulations on your achievement.

Thanks, man. Just get in on these low prices. It'll be worth it in the long run. :)

O wooowww congratulations :)

Thanks. :)

La perseverancia y la paciencia nos llevan muy lejos, es necesario trabajar duro y constante para obtener logros a largo plazo aunque siempre queremos que todo sea lo mas pronto posible, en realidad estoy empezando con la red social (steem) y me parece que es una forma muy culta de interactuar y compartir nuestros conocimientos con una gran diversidad de personas alrededor del mundo, hay mucho camino por recorrer.

Congrats!!! I’m aiming for 10k now.

All the best getting there. :)

“1”ookPlz :P

It kinda does look like a lowercase “L” now that I mention it!

Congratulations on 100k though! Seems like quite the accomplishment! :)

Many thanks, bro. :)

"ambassadors" of the blockchain at the time. To them, I say, "You bitch ass sellout motherfuckers, you."

Same feeling

If I'd listened to them, I'd be long gone too. We're gonna be different. :)

This is amazing - well done - o I hope my steemit also pic up because after 3 years I am making less than in my first year hahaha , but I am patient, one day we can maybe all retire with steemit.... who knows

Patience will reap great rewards. Keep at it and stay consistent. :)

Congratulations @ezzy!
