STEEMIT, Crazy Gold Rush Days of Crypto, Encouraging One Another & New Steemians / Crypto Family.

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

I've been thinking about and seeing the numbers and reasoning behind all the increases lately both in Steemit, and the Crypto markets. I would like to apply some logic and balance here, in the midst of a lot of huge numbers and bring perspective of sorts.

I have not been able to follow everything, there is just SO MUCH happening every day right now and gathering......well - STEEM - in the entire crypto space. LOL.

But I know the whole world is watching more now, than ever.


People reading posts from outside the STEEM ecosystem who are curious, are going to want to be onboarded or join and get moving here. We need to remember they are new, and the new crypto people like we once were are not going to stop, they are coming to the markets and Steemit and crypto in MASSIVE numbers daily.


If you cannot read the numbers -- there were 1925 accounts created 2 days ago, at that huge spike upwards. (May 9th) -- Info via https://steemdata.com/charts


There are a ton of new people coming to Steemit daily and they need help, like we all needed help when we were new. I honestly try and remember this daily, and post useful content and repurpose content where it suits doing so, with SO many new people here and more coming daily.

It's a Gold Rush and this is the Wild Wild West in Crypto right now, and we are right in the early stages - here - together.



The following charts and graphics here are from @gavvet who has taken a lot of time to make posts targeting new users to help them. He has been taking some grief, and IDK the full story but I found his charts and graphs helpful, and they help make my points here tonite:


> The Americas is just below record levels. Europe and Asia are above record levels. There is even an increase in traffic from Africa and Australia starting to show.

Are some people draining the rewards pool, some of the same people every day? Yes.

Is the entire ecosystem and community earning more and doing better overall these days? Also yes.

Are there issues here? Yes.


Should we exercise some kindness and encouragement towards each other as much as possible?

Yes.

The whole world is watching more now, than ever. I say again.

Definitely resteemed. Too many people view crypto as a special secret club, that's a zero sum game.

I think you have just made the comment of the day on here.

You are so right..... and thanks for stopping by today.

Followed.

Much appreciated, it's good to see posts with a realistic and positive outlook on this space that's growing so fast. Alot of cynicism lately.

You are right!

Thanks for this. Very interesting time to be on this platform and for cryptocurrencies in general. India is going to take a call on the legal status of Bitcoin and other cryptos in about three months. That's likely to have a HUGE impact on the market just because of the sheer volume that will get traded out of India if it is legalised. Currently cryptocurrencies have a dubious legal status so people are hesitant to engage.

Great comments!!!

You are so right.

Back in 2013 when Bitcoin surged, Alt coins followed. I remember Stablecoins were worth almost 50 cents and people were buying them like crazy. Haven't heard of stablecoins? Be cautious where you throw your money.

Solid comments today, thanks for checking in other Barry!

Upvoted and followed my friend. Its a steep learning curve but I'm reading up on steem and other crypto news daily.

Followed back!

You will do great things, you are here early and it is a steep curve but just focus on things, build a solid base of knowledge and keep at it daily.

Welcome to Steemit and thanks for commenting!

I agree that the community need to embrace the newcomers and help continue to build out the ecosystem. That's the way to foster great original content from fresh perspectives and establish a healthy Q&A system where thoughtful answers are provided to specific and personalized questions. Thanks for sharing!

#Steemit101

will get people some resources on here I have made and also in comments sections of posts where I have found good 191 type stuff, and there is so much of it here.

The best part of getting into cryptocurrency through Steemit is you do not need to know about it - all you have to is write posts, post images, and comment on other people's stuff. The STEEM gathers as yougo along. At some point in the journey you can then learn how it all works - when your mind is ready for that.

It is not the same for all other crypto - step 1 tends to be harder.

You are so right on all that, this helps people learn crypto basics like I have said a few times on here now.

Was at the nursing home visiting a friend and taking her Mother's Day goodies and a gift I made. Just got home...

Week 2 is up, why don't you stop by, share the post or let people know w that hashtag?

Can we beat last weekend's successful community engagement and comments?

I've asked @papa-pepper to stop by with his hot peppers and have fun with the group around the fire!

Remember this post runs all weekend, every weekend!!!

Great post!!
I always liked the idea of sharing the good news! It benefits us all! Too often, though, I get nasty responses from what I like to call NoCS (Not Crypto Savvy) or muggles (though I like there might be copyright issues there). I don't take those responses too seriously. It's just fear. And it doesn't keep me from letting people know, just the same!!
Thanks for the post!
