RE: STEEM PRICE TO GO UP IN 2018 - I know users of steem are maturing. That is helping everything!

in #steem7 years ago

Just talked to one of my "techie" friends about it in the grocery store today.....He seemed excited to hear about my new blogging platform. I'm also sharing some of my work here on "wastebook" so my friends can see what an amazing place this is. We all own Steem and need to work to promote it.....I know it's going to pay off in the long run! Building a new environment that is user friendly, wallet friendly, and positive in every way!

You have the right mindset, that's great.

If one of your techie friends ever goes rogue and tries to cheat the system (probably the furthest thing from your mind) be sure to steer him/her straight.

The only reason I'm bringing it up, is that a lot of new users, when they get acquainted with how things work, they think they find loopholes, which they actually haven't. Cheating is a heavy path that's been tried many times before and it always ends up in a dead end and a waste of time and effort. :)

True way to success in this system is to work at it legitimately and work hard.

@intellguy, I see what you mean......need to stuff some newspapers under the bridge and light them on fire. There are people out there that are so unhappy, failing themselves, and grasping at whatever they can to make themselves feel better. Whether it be drugs, alcohol, judging others, or cheating. What they really need to be doing is taking a good, long look at themselves and heal what is broken inside. Really, when they are cheating here......or trolling....they have just found a new temporary high to soothe some sort of pain......take away their source, they eventually go away.......

Well said @kimmydee2! Although not popular and largely frowned upon as narcissistic, you have to love yourself before you have the capacity to love others. Self knowledge is so important and so overlooked. Perhaps a better known example is the admonition when you fly that first yo uput on your own oxygen mask and then you help others.

Very good analogy!!

I agree wholeheartedly!
