I started my steemit journey in August 2016. We passed 600K accounts yesterday. My account ID is 47233. I'm proud of myself that I was able to recognize the steem potential that early.
It was a long and bumpy ride so far. Really bumpy. I learned so much about Crypto and worked like crazy. You don't even want to know how many hours I spent on here. Way way too much even in my opinion. But I don't regret a single minute.
I listened to smart guys and learned a lot, earned a lot of money and put some earnings in a couple of different coins. I did some trading too. The biggest step was when I quit my job in November.
I can see the bright future ahead and I'm very excited. I don't know much about technical side but my gut feeling tells me that nobody can stop the blockchain revolution. Steem is one of the diamonds of that revolution. Still unpolished, but a real diamond. Trust me.
So you asking yourselves; what the hack these photos have to do with a subject of this post?
We plan to book a summer vacation in Dalmatia in Croatia. This will be the first time I'll cash out some of my crypto. To reward me and my family for all hard work we all together put in.
I'm sure the title of this post now makes more sense to you.
Thank you for posting @oldtimer.
Congratulations.
Lovely photographs of Dalmatia.....do not know if you have heard of @dumar022 and @pollux.one. dumar lives in Croatia and pollux visited him not too long ago.....interesting.
Wishing you and yours all the best. Cheers.
always dreaming about that holiday. Maybe the best one in my life!
You really can't go wrong choosing Dalmatia. I spend many vacations there and it was always great.
Thanks for your comment. Thanks for the hint. I know about these two guys. I actually read their posts back in August last year.
This is so awesome, love the back and forth between the "dream time" photos and the hard reality of seeing and opportunity and busting your butt to make it happen. Enjoy the time off and the travel, you earned it!
Thanks for kind words.
Doesnt matter how much Crypto grows, until you cash out and buy yourself something, you haven't enjoyed any gains. Good decision.
I like coins with dividends, so I don't need to sell my own coins.
Nice photography .a great Post as usuall good stuff @oldtimer

Wow great job @oldtimer.. didn't notice you powering down! Was it your own hard earned money you bought with steem?
I had 140K of steem. I was lucky to power down in June last year and bought a bunch of other cheap coins.
Ok, don't forget to call or something when you come
Only if you south of 45 meridians, hehe.
43°44'3.59" N 15°53'15.59" E
Close enough.
That sounds like a good plan @oldtimer.
It's amazing how steemit can change our lives. I think you guys totally deserve to take this beautiful vacation and I have never been in Croatia but had some friends go there, and they loved it and the pictures lookes absolutely amazing.
I can just imagine the beautiful photography posts you will share with as and I'm looking forward to it.
I'm looking forward to it too. But you'll need to wait another 6 months.
No problem, I'll just keep enjoying your daily posts for now.
I'm writing about the beauty of Croatia and Bosnia&Hercegovina. You will not regret your choice
I spent a lot of time there. But that was years ago and whit much thinner wallet.
It pays to be patient. Thx for inspiration and motivation
Thank you @oldtimer!! Definitely helped a noob like me see the potential in blockchain.
Just stick around and you'll not regret it.
Congratulations! A nice vacation to look forward to... such a beautiful place. I know Steem will be soaring even more next summer!
Something tells me that more and more steemians will apply for passports and start to travel in the future.
I think you're right... we see a lot more of the world on here and it definitely piques an interest in travel.
Beautiful Yugoslavia
Ex, unfortunately. But the good thing is that people and culture stay the same. And history doesn't care about borders.
This is true point
Dalmacija, top destinacija
Always, my friend.
:)
I had a feeling with the title this was a "look forward" dream post and you did not disappoint.
I say it again, you are a legend.
I am truly proud of you.
Thanks, man. I'm proud of you too. I'm struggling to pick the topic for one post a day. But you're like steem machine. Never out of ideas. Good job.
Thanks a lot man!!!!!
We steem on. together.
And I meant to add, I hope you take to visit LIBERLAND!!!
I've blogged lots on it, I would LOOOOOVEEEEE to see your posts about that, with what it stands for man!
Good for you. Have to reward yourself sometimes as well. Makes life worth it.
Smart words. Stick around.
So nice to see real success, which brings steemit. A good holiday in Croatia, I'll wait for your new photos there. When I came here in August 2017, my goal was buying a camera for Canon to develop my creativity and Hobbies. And well, I can buy it tomorrow! But now I don't want to leave, I want to continue here. I decided to wait to buy, or to do it with other income. Because I believe in growth and success steem, I want to get it off and see it with my own eyes. And to say also that I am proud to have invested my time in Steemit!
That's the spirit. When I was accumulating steem I didn't even change the oil in my car and drive on the worn out tires. I was just investing all my money. No vacation for two years.
Congrats! I joined Steemit on August 16, too, but don't understand what this is exactly. I'm more active here last half a year. My learning curve is slow but persistent :)
We all were there. I still don't know enough. When I just figure out something new and they change it again. You learn all the time. Like in life. Just be active.
Zrno do zrna pogaca - kamen na kamen palaca.
We were in Croatia a year ago. If I had already embarrassed Steem, I would immediately make a cash out and repeat the vacation. Enjoy your stay.
Thanks. Be patient.
Congratulations for you
You do good work
Newbie steemit i hope i be same you :)
Thanks. Just keep grinding. It will come.
I don’t know how you do it, but somehow you manage to emphasize that you are really an Oldtimer on every post :). I hope to be able to say that proudly one day too.
Croatia vacation sounds so awesome.
It will come with years. Trust me.
Well deserved take out!!
There has been so much to learn here but so wonderfully amazing to learn it. It's like a new lease of life!!
I couldn't put it better. Thanks.
Awww, the last part of your post made me shed a tear. Working hard is not easy at all, sometimes it seems like family isnt on your side, but deep down, we do it for them so that can have a better life. I can totally relate to this. i wish you good luck and cant wait to see your blog on your tour to croatia.
Thanks for kind words.
You're very welcome
Bravo!! That sounds like a fantastic thing to spend some crypto on, and a truly wonderful family vacation.
Thank you.
Sharing the same dream it seems, as I'm planing to be down there this summer too :-)
Bring an extra helmet, hehe.
Alright, will do :-)
Bravo !!!
Thank you.
Congratulations !!!!!!
Thanks.
Very beautiful. Sky
Truly inspired friend... i started last Aug... but still need to learn more about steem n crypto ... 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Patience , Perseverance & Persistence will get me there (i hope so ya)... looking forward to see your travel post in croatia.... u deserve it... enjoy with your family.. steem on friend... stay safe...
Thanks. You have a good strategy.
The vision you had, had me confused about your name Old Timer. You've been here longer than 90% of everyone else. Your vision, wow! You deserve every bit of success you've had. Congratulations!
Don't worry, you were here on time too. It's still early.
Smart desicion, wish you a great time! Enjoy and take care of family!
Thanks.
Dreaming of Dalmatia, indeed! Safe travels! looks amazing!
About 7-8 months in here. Will take years before I take anything out... (into fiat that is) Until it's worth at least a million my crypto's are sacred ^.^
That was exactly my tactic.
Photography is really great . I appreciate ..👍📷📷
Dalmatia is such a beautiful area
I think you have made such impressive milestones on here and posted quality content and I see you dbeing so supportive to many users on Steemit, you wwithout a doubt deserve to take some out and have this vacation, look at it as a steem powered vacation for me that would make it even better
I am considering taking a little out to find an upgrade of my camera, I am mixed still fairly new on here and want to build up my Steem power but also want the camera I keep bouncing back and forth not sure what to do lOL
I can help a bit with your camera if you're not too picky, hehe.
Lol that’s the problem I am prickly lol
The one I have is very nice but I have wanted for ages to move up to full frame so have the one I want in Mind already
