It's a simple story. And I am writing it for all the others that are still looking for the right motivation to be involved with Steemit.
I work as a taxi driver , for now.
Few years back I heard about Bitcoin but for one reason or another, I never was attracted to digital money before.
Up until 10 days ago, when I joined Steemit comunity. It's socialising platform was enough to get my attention and I realized what a goldmine this is. I learned aboutBitcoin what a true and recognised curency has become , even for governments lately . So basicaly it's great to have more Bitcoins
( thats another story i actualy posted here ,if you want to read it https://steemit.com/steemit/@mookosoo/could-steemit-be-the-new-operating-system-for-governments )
So this is what Steemit gives me the chance to do now :
1 . Focus on writing better posts =more votes = more steem $ = Bitcoins
2 . I am trading Steem dollar ( Steemit gave me my first Steem$ earned from the posts I wrote ) on a Curency Exchange where I started to make profit already = Bitcoins
And Steemit made me look for another ways of earning Bitcoins, and I found that you could mine them using devices like this 
.
So I have 3 ways of earning Bitcoins . From first two ways I am already earning and I am trying to save enough to invest in a good miner like Antminer S90 which would set me about 3000$. In that way I could earn Bitcoins from all 3 ways.
I only tried to explain this for all those in a similar situation like mine , meaning new to all this.
Now I dedicate more and more time to Steemit , and less hours on the taxi, I will improve myself and I will see in the future where my strenghts are , either in writing , or in trading .
Thank you Steemit for giving me a new direction, a new motivation, and a lot of energy , in only 10 days.
I wish you all the best!
Don't waste your money on mining. Unless you can buy a warehouse full of miners and have free electricity you will not not make anything. If you believe btc will rise, it's better to just buy and hold.
Thanks for advise, will stick with posting and trading and see how it goes.
It's too late to mine Bitcoin. However there are lots of other coins around. New ones coming out all the time. If you really want to learn about it, I would advice getting an AMD graphics card for your PC (not MAC) and use that to learn about mining. If you don't make anything you still have a decent computer that is still useful.
Thanks again, i will look into other coins , i presume you need different miners for other coins ??
Great post. Steemit has changed my life as well.
I don't know a lot about mining but good luck with it!
Thanks, i hope this will inspire others as well :)
