The Masses Are Flocking In On Steemit, So Gather Steem Power Now. If You Are Minnow Powering Up Will Also Help You With Bandwidth.

in #steemit6 years ago

This will be very simple and disorganized post but it will be helpful, even very helpful! 

Most times, it more about how much we see/can see than all the looking/searching
Even when you are given the INTEL, how much can you accomplish with it?

This is mostly a simple post to help open the eyes a bit more because again, it is about how much we can see, thus, to help us see just a bit more, i will keep this post disorganized a bit and we will skip the theories, so that we can try to apply more of foresight.

Here is what i want to quickly say: 

The masses are coming! Not whitewalkers; not winter!

Looking at simple events that are going on on steemit, are about to go on and steemit and events going on outside of steemit and especially, considering that we are still at the early stages of steemit's mainstreamity there is glaring evidence that the masses are coming!

People are taking note of steemit. 

The constant awareness we have gradually create on here by means of our steemit posts and on social media etc is leaving lingering marks and over time, people are beginning to establish within their minds that steemit isn't a hype and they will flock in.

Unlike other crypto-endeavors and blockchain, steemit has use-case and value even by virtue of its social community alone. There are tons of apps being developed on the steem blockchain too and overtime, beyond all the earning etc, people will need a decentralized app built on steem for serve their daily needs. (Note: people use Facebook, Youtube, Twitter etc even without the possibility of earning). 

So unlike any other crypto-blockchain endeavor out there, scale-able free-to-use steem will get heard either via steemit @dtube @utopian or an upcoming IOS flappy monkey game app etc

Well, the masses are already flocking in. This time, they are asking to join in. It's all obvious on Facebook etc
Yes and people who try to sign up on steemit and experience delays are bothered about it as they are eager to become steemians.

Simple images like this below, now have way more impact than they once had and stirs so much more talk than used to be the case and even eventual sign ups. Look below:


Just yesterday alone, the image or thumbnail above generated hundreds of comments about steemit and several (new) have signed up or are waiting for the accounts to be confirmed, courtesy of these conversations.

There used to be a community-like social network called TSU that came to a halt and we were all once there!


Hahaha and some haven't joined steemit but they are following "steemit" closely to see where it is headed. See this screenshot below:


In the #philippines for instance, steemit is growing really fast. I sit on the tags curating each day and the numbers are drastically increasing. 

Just recently, a new member joined from the Philippines that has close to 300k followers across her social media network. See below:


I tried to tell her to do a selfie-verification as she has these many followers, to which she obliged to and she is here. 


So please join in, in welcoming her!

What am i saying?

Especially at these early stages of your journey on steemit (if you are new), your sole first aim should be to power up! See, SP (Steem Power) is getting scarce, can't you already feel it? 

What i am saying is this, once recently, steem was around priced at 1 USD (US dollar), meaning that you can have got or bought "500 steem power" for "500 US dollars"

Today, you will need around 3500 USD to buy 500 steem power and if steem becomes priced at 100 USD in the near future, you will need 50,000 USD to buy 500 SP

Steem Power is actually powerful and there is great incentive to have it: 

  • e.g imagine how much good you can do if you can give out 2 USD to 10 or more people everyday
  • Imagine how many more people every day will seek or value your own attention 
  • Imagine how much more visibility you will get on your creation
  • Imagine how many services you can pay for/buy directly by means of steem power
  • etc............


Alot of the "missing piece of the puzzle" when it comes to steemit success is in steemit's history. So, when you arrive on steemit, do you go back a bit to research this history or pace things enough to experience it? 

See; just months ago, steem was priced at around 1 USD! i.e with 500 SP (at 100 percent upvote), you would have been able to reward a post around 0.09$ but today at 6 USD per steem, the same 500 SP (at 100 percent upvote) rewards 0.25$ 

(Note: that 0.25$ and 0.09$ above is not USD but is a valued at the current price of steem and SBD)

Now without going into much Mathematics and theory it is possible to say that, if the price of steem reaches say 100 USD each, this same 500 SP, maybe able to give out around $1 or $2 (at 100 percent upvote)

SP (Steem Power) is where i see the real scarcity happening and it is a beauty! Once people fully realize the beauty of SP, they will so buy into it. 

Imagine a company that normally spends 5,000,000 USD a year in AD(s) budget that isn't that organic and can easily constitute of only impressions and clicks (not sales/conversions) and instead of putting all that budget into AD(s), they come here on steemit, a community of reputable great minds and where the masses are beginning to flock to and they buy SP power instead, these are some of the gains:

  • SP is still their money and rises with the price of steem e.g if rises from 1 USD to 10 USD, 5 million can have turned to 50 million
  • Their SP increases overtime just for holding it
  • They get visibility, when they upvote their posts and organic visibility in the search engines
  • They can use earnings from the same SP to foot conventional AD budgets 
  • Amass followers in line with the influence SP carries
  • Have a ton of audience ready-made and potential partners, investors, customers, clients etc
  • They can distribute rewards, pay for services, delegate tasks using their SP to distribute rewards
  • etc

The thing is, if you don't gather SP now, when will you gather it? When steem is 10$? 

Hahaha, SP is getting scarce; can't you see?

See, steem tokens is not money, so vest it in Steem Power and keep it. Instead of rush to spend it, why not build SP till an extent and your SP can make you additional income on its own and give you additional influence as well as you use it to distribute rewards. 

When the community is large enough, say millions, you may not even have to go out of steem into FIAT to purchase goods and service. 
Steem is a protocol that allows the creation of apps too. With thousands of apps for every use-case and a community of millions of people, steem can easily become our medium of exchange e.g pay for a vacation with steem because there are now so many apps accepting steem or external websites with steem integrations etc

Apart from this, many new accounts want to vote on steemit at different percentages, to maximize voting power, so why not gather your first 500/1000 SP. Now, it is harder to gather this amount of steem even from author rewards because the price of steem is currently priced at above 6 USD but now is still a very good time to because Steemit's Mainstreamity is in its early stages

e.g Look here:


The eventual payout for the post above was around $21 and he wondered why he got only 3.62 SP. 

See; when steem was around 1 USD, he would have easily got a whooping 21 SP from that payout but now at more than 6 USD per steem, he got just 3.62 SP and with steem at 21 USD, he would get only 1 SP for the large-looking $21 (I don't have the right $ symbol on my PC, so i use USD to refer to the US dollar)

Too, many new steemians bother about the "you have exceeded bandwidth" message. They feel this is an issue with steemit. However, this is a measure by steem to prevent or reduce on possible DDOS attacks e.g when a person creates many bot accounts and program them to carry out endless blockchain transactions to weigh it down. 

Thus, new accounts need to have a measure SP to keep interacting with the blockchain removing the incentive for DDOS attacks. 

So if you are just joining steemit, your first sole drive should be to raise your steem power because you know what "there was life before steemit"

The day and two days before you joined steemit, you ate and paid bills and if you didn't find steemit the next one month later, you will have paid bills and eaten. This is a valid illusion!
This is coming from someone who has done suffering like crazy, who has starved and still starves like crazy.


50/50 Vs 100 percent powered up posts

At this point, to gather more steem, it is best to go 50/50 (post payout option) as this way, you can get way more steem. 

SBD was created to be pegged to the USD but is currently not, so choosing the 50/50 payout option will allow half of your author rewards or so, to be paid in SBD and with SBD currently priced at around 8 USD, you can use that to buy steem on the internal market to power up with, thus, getting way more steem than you would currently make if you had powered up straight-up

Powering up also removes liquid steem from circulation, making it scarce and has impact on steem-price-rise.

So for minnows who just join, it is a special feeling to receive your first payout from the Internet but i tell you, the most utmost value from the first cash out is not even in what you could buy with it. The utmost value according me. is the continuous inspiration we draw from it to keep keeping on. 

Fire Fia Fire!

I am still a minnow here but I'm now starting loved this platform. I don't have yet enough SBD to power up but I'm trying now my best to gain.

Thank you @surpassinggoogle for sharing this inspiring article to us. Thanks to people like who help us in improving and changing our lives through this community.

You'll get there! We're all in this together. Whatever amount you have now will be worth way way more in the future! Then, you'll be able to support minnows and grow the community too. :)

I hope that day come. Thank you encouraging me. God bless.

Hahaha welcome on steemit. Don't worry, you are starting to get now. Hang in there. Stay awesome!

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

Hello brother Terry @surpassinggoogle
I've done my #untalented adjustment.. hope you'll take a look on it..
Really need your help us a new member here..
Thank you so much and more blessings to come from Jah..

Enjoy the vote and reward!

Thank you so much @surpassinggoogle and @eatsrewards!!
My simple prayer answered immediately mostly to Brother Terry @surpassinggoogle. Recieve my warm christian love from Philippines.

Okay @surpassinggoogle. Thank you very much 👍

I truly agree with you Terry! People don’t know how much they are missing out on by not powering up!
I’ll use myself as an example here! Last months earnings I powered up ( all off then) . Back then my 100%upvote was 0.01 cents.
After the month passed... i had gathered 350 SP. last week Steem got to $6 . Now my account is worth $2.200 dollars because of it. Also, my upvote is now worth 0.20 cents!

I know it can be pretty temping to cash out .. and sometimes we “have to”. But we really shouldn’t.. because the best is yet to come!

Thanks for writing such inspiring article!! You are awesome Terry! Thanks to people like you the lifes of many will be better. I swear you are changing lifes!

Very very very sweet. I so how like how you talk like you. It is so so so sweet.

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

Thanks for what you are doing, I've included you here and I've won 30 STEEMS , I hope you will like it. ☺

Yes thank you. I ended up seeing the post of Jerry but i will visit yours. Thank you much and for what you do. I will visit soon. In the meantime

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

Please give me some feedback on the @teardrops only resteemed post

@surpassinggoogle this Again is so real, sometimes we are tempted to cash out, but we really don't have to because the best is yet to come.
up STEEMIT.

thank you @surpassinggoogle

Thanks!! i truly appreciate it! ♥ All the things you do for this community are so inspirational. I hope to one day be as useful for the Steemit community as you are.

Have an awesome day!

I am really missing out on not powering up. I have decided to for the remainder of the month, all earnings will be converted to steem Power. I cannot be lagging behind no more.

I now it is very tempting ... but for the long run it is very worth it!

Wow! We have a living testimony here. Thank you for sharing this even though i know how long it might take me to reach that 350 SP. It's all about sacrifice and discipline though. I am charting that course right now. Thanks.

It is really tempting to cash out.. but don't , or at least make a plan where you will cash out half and then power up the other half. I am sure that you will get there soon enough! .

Thank you so much for this. That's a very smart idea there. Very well on my way then. 💪

I'm following back and I'm sharing the content of followers organically. My account for following back is:@followback

Geri Takibe Geri Takip Yapıyorum ve takip edenlerin içeriklerini, organik olarak paylaşıyorum. Geri Takip İçin Hesabım: @followback

The real thing now is powering up. Powering up is just like an investment.
@surpassinggoogle is really changing life's and I'm sure this article has also changed many people's life

it is the best thing to do, i think

Thanks for sharing your testimony with us @soykatonline. Yeah right 'The best is yet to come'. @surpassinggoogle is indeed changing lives.

you are very welcome!! i right now have 50 sbds.. but i am so tempted to cashing out.. but i so know the best is to power up... i am unsure what to do.. haha... but thinking back... when i powered up last time.. all my earnings tripled .. so i think , as i write this answer... that i already know what i have to do. hahaha.

but... price of sbd is so low, i am unsure if maybe i should hold a little while and then wait for it to go high so that i can buy more steem with it.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I think I will do same.

You definitely should... in the end... it is still your money... so you can cash out later on if you need to.

Steem needs to get a co operative best seller. There’s a hurry. And there’s plenty of talent if it just got organized. Your followers alone probably have the equivalent of dozens and dozens of visionary minds. And if it’s about money, the greatest way to access those insane resources to DO GOOD, while doing well, is by taking the steps necsssary to more popular adoption.

Consumers of the content are incredibly necessary though. Hopefully we can talk soon.

Alx

Tiny self vote just because you get massive comments and I like to touch base before your head explodes from actually interacting the way almost no strong members do.

So on point. Started with @steemgigs and #steemgigs etc for long now and gosh, there is so so so much power just in the quality of the talents here. You have very great points. To top things, the talents here are incentivized to be reputable and they mine with their minds incessantly. Organizing this is powerful. The steemgigs interface when ready will so help and all the interfaces i am trying to work on along with the untalented curriculum that seek to organize this beauty. Together we will create awesomeness. It will take some time though

Yes time is of the essence however, and all of this hard work will continue to pay dividend, this I am sure of... Have been watching some of your recent stuff @surpassinggoogle and truly amazing man, very inspirational to many of us steemians out there, Keep up the solid work as you have been since your time began here

Much respect from @conradsuperb

We just started here, but we're loving Steemit.

Form a team, people with the same goals, hopefully goals that are about the whole ocean rising, and an ocean in which all boats are floatin’

My friend @adept owns the steemgigs.com domain. Hopefully if you need it he’ll be completely reasonable. I’m pretty sure he just buys domains whenever they pop
In his head, and he’s not a profiteer, instead he’s a friend.

Actually he said what he’s interested in is collaboration. Helping build it on some level. So busy here, sometimes I get shit a little wrong.

I will see about talking to him when the time is right

Hahaha i saw that. Let's see, when the app is ready, perhaps i will contact him

Cool. Ttyl. Need to go create some crazy Alx content lol. Last post is getting better. If you can, play it in the background. But no votes please. Just comments on how to get better. This is a work in progress, designed to eventually make great statements to the outside world. If anyone puts more than .05 on it I’ll flag myself! https://steemit.com/dtube/@alxgraham/767sbeq5

Thing 2 is a BOT, so I’m not flagging myself for “it’s” vote! I said anyONE!

Steemit has many people with separate motive, which will be a really amazing thing to change this

Yes, we all need to work as one. @surpassinggogle is building a dynasty.
Nice concept

This is an amazing post @surpassinggoogle.

I appears that we think alike. Today I put up a post that talked about how the Steem blockchain is in the lead over all other blockchains and could increase that lead if the development on here is large enough.

Steem has no transaction fees....none.

ETH and BTC are both not only bogged down with traffic but ill suited for microprossing since there are such high transaction fees. That .25 reward could not even be sent on either of those networks since the cost for the transaction is more. Here on steem, we can send .001 STEEM without a problem.

I love how you tied it all together....this is an absolute goldmine. You must have read a couple of my posts since I preached $100 STEEM since $.85 in early November. This is going to get a lot bigger very quickly.

By the way, I dont know if you saw the numbers, 60K daily active users yesterday with 30K authors. Things are really starting to heat up around here even without an automated sign up process, communities, HD 20, or SMTs....imagine what it will be like when they do hit my friend....OMG.

Keep up the good work...together we are all going to change the world. Poverty is going to be wiped out...we will make sure of it.

All so onpoint.

Thank you for that wonderfully informative article, while I'm still figuring out of what of I'm capable of that I will take your advice in relation to steem power despite of the temptation of cashing out for additional income as one of my market research companies (I'm a freelancer) was closed down due to their clients decided not to renew their contract with them. Anyways that Thank you for the inspiration! (I have to gather enough money to pay the requirements for another research company before my current project ends this May)

a proud minnow here! I'm still figuring out what's on the site tho, I clearly can see almost everyone here is earning huge! I won't be a hypocrite to tell you that I'm not after money why I join steemit site. That's my main reason why I am here. lol.

Anyway, for now, I am aiming for higher Steem Power! 😄

you never stop on giving these super helpful information! Where would we be without you! thanks SG!

You are welcome. Welcome on steemit. Thank you for visiting. Stay awesome

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

a thorough informative article as usual! please keep it us getting infos, super helpful to us newbies!

Thank you much

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

Ive done a mistake, a wrong move :(
I cashout my payouts from my 7days post.
As a new steemians I learned my lesson. Yes! The money I got it helps me a lot actually a big help in a wrong move :( ..

Now I have a target to get 500 SP to help my fellow minnows like me. And share whatever I learned in this community.

As you said we are the CEO here we need to wait and sacrifice at first (gain more SP from SBD), help others then we will fish together later .. Thanks for the advice :)

Best advise one can get at this stage seeing the difference between last one month and now. SP is getting 🔥. Another great one @surpassinggoogle

So true

Awesome you... Awesome post... Awesome advice... Awesome result

No doubt

Here are some imaginary @teardrops token

THIS! I've been saying this to people for months and months now. Here in steem to minnows to save their sp and not hurriedly convert it to cash.. as well as outside to friends and family. Sadly not everyone is that open minded but its their loss not ours. I'm at a place that i'm happy with my steem power but wpuld be happy to get more. I'm more interested it helping my friends and family grow their account.

Thanks for this wonderful post Terry!

I am one of those whom you've said to save SP and not hurriedly convert it to cash. ^^, Thanks for that @frost04

Glad to see you took it to heart. Trust me we should reap the benefits soon.. like in a few months time :)

That is not so long time to wait. I am just enjoying myself here, reading and learning. ^^,

I'm also guilty of this before but I've wise up now. Powering up is the most important thing for now.
Thanks once again @surpassinggoogle

Attaboy! Hope to see you become a STEEM dolphin someday :)

Steemit is a great platform , i do my best to promote steemit i think 2018 will be the steemit year ,steem will skyrocket and we will be over 2millions users:)

I think @surpassinggoogle has critically analysis why we need to power up and get more steem now, it's for the future gain. According to him it will get to a stage where 1steem will cost 100sbd. More influx of people requires getting more power up now

LET's POWER UP !!! SP for the long haul baby

It seems you may be right.

Steemit will definitely go beyond 2 million users this year mark my words.

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

Thanks brother from a Big God

thank you so much for all your support and effort to grow this awesome comunity

Awesomeness. In the meantime:

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

@teardrops post has being wonderful. Thanks for your swiftness in point out some cogent issues and important reasons why some actions much be taken @surpassinggoogle. I also wrote something about @teardrops on my blog @fadiji09, kindly help visit and pass your comment on it.

Thanks boss @surpassinggoogle

Seeing the obvious changes from the price of steem to now, it is obvious 2018 is the year. I am going to invest more in it now. "He who has ears..."

I'm also doing my best to promote steemit. I even organized a kind of weekly contest that rewards every steemian for inviting people to joining steemit.
Did I hear you say 2millions,i think we are going to be over 10millions in this 2018

Wow my Philippines will be filled with steemians the soonest hehehe. Despite of the very slow internet, Filipinos steemians are confident to rock the steemit. I am just a little bit lucky by now 'coz I am here in KSA where internet fee is low but the connection is so high as high as I am addicted to steemit. hahaha

Yeah sir @surpassinggoogle regarding the SP I'm wondering also why hehe. And also most of my group-mates in #steemitachievers were suffering a bandwidth deficiency for they cant upvote some of the post or can't even post a comment.

I hope the delegation will be back in the blocktrade option that's a great help for us newbie in steemit.

Thank you so much for sharing.

God Bless You

I've seen your addiction friend. Hehehe. In fact, you're a superman who can still handle your time between work, #steemitachievers group, and Steemit. But hardwork has paid off. You're faster than us.

Hehehe this journey mam @lebron2016 starts when you invited sir @long888 and he invited me too. So I thank You so much for that. But this journey may not be as fruitful as we expected without sir Terry/ @surpassinggoogle a man with a good heart that uplifts people who are down or felt deserted in their steemit journey.

Hopefully it gets better. The addiction can certainly have good use. Keep it up

Indeed sir @surpassinggoogle the addiction have had a really good use. And I even made a song for that addiction hahaha( what a kulitness) as my entry to an open mic challenge, it might makes you smile listening my original song sir just click HERE. Hehe as what you have said flaws are accepted I may not a good singer but at least I can make people smile.

Addicted? Hahahaha you are not alone. The hard work surely pays off in the end. Well done superman as @lebron2016 called you. Keep steeming...

Yeah sir @olawalium this platform is digging into my nerve and get me addicted and I love it. hehehe You might smile or laugh if you hear my song about my addiction to steemit hahhaha.

Hahahahaha bring it on.

hahaha check it HERE sir @olawalium

Wow! I am impressed. I wish i can play guitar that good. Hahahahaha...you are really addicted. I am too by dragging people here. Like you sang, this is where everyone deserves to be. Nice one.

I'm also waiting for the delegation to be back on blocktrades. It has really been helpful especially for newbies and minnows

well said sir @fatherfaith,. delegation is a delicious food for a minnow like me.,

Steem Power is actually powerful and there is great incentive to have it:

As a newbie, I realized that steem power is the raw deal on planet steem but your post has further elaborated the need for powering up now that steemit is yet in its early stages. Thank you for this information.

You are welcome. So onpoint

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

@surpassinggoogle Thank you for for articulating why building SP is very much important. Others just see the account value but not paying attention to the SP. I couldn't agree more, you have more influence if you have a higher SP/voting power. Reading your articles always have that element of inspiring everybody to strive in the community. Keep it up, you have honest intentions.

Thank you for a nice commet

Thanks for showing me more data and information about steem power and the bandwidth, but wow steemit is growing at an extremely fast rate!

You are welcome!

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

Haha! Thanks! :)

What am i saying?
Especially at these early stages of your journey on steemit (if you are new), your sole first aim should be to power up! See, SP (Steem Power) is getting scarce, can't you already feel it?

This is the best advice anyone could have given to the minnows... Power up. We are at the earliest stage and things are going to keep upping up around here, so get steem Power Now before it escalates to the moon. Thank you Terry for this wise counsel.

So on point.

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

Gathering steem Power (SP) I've always known was the wisest of all choices. Thank you our biggest brother @surpassinggoogle for this important message to the steemit community, especially for Newbies. You're indeed a wonder to us.

Please stay safe for us.

Yes, gathering Steem power is the wisest and the best choice on steemit.
@surpassinggoogle is indeed a wonder and a blessing to us all

Thank you for dropping by

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

The masses are definitely coming. Unlike a lot of other cryptos which might only have whitepapers, Steem has actual usage right now. As more applications such as Dtube, Zappl, Dmania, etc. are created, Steem will just become even more popular. It's important that people get started on building Steem power while it is still easy to do so.

You grasp fully

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

My brother has not registered with Steemit for the second week, with what it can be connected.?

Only people who have gathered Steem power will enjoy most in the nearest future cos the whole world will soon be on steemit and no one will be left out

Well it's just so queer, the steem power earned from posts these days have dropped drastically and well it never ceases to amaze me, one actually have to organically build this like you said for the coming days ahead.

And for the curating duty I marvel a lot on how you manage to curate like almost 50 post daily in the #philipian tag and still extend to other countries I mean curators may find it tedious but not you, that alone is supernatural.

I will however power up on the posts I know may bring in SBD also, thank you for this amazing heads up buddy!

You rock big time.


It's your evergreen friend @josediccus

Nope don't power up. 50/50 is good at this point when SBD is higher than 1 usd. You can sell sbd for steem if you want to eventually power up. Yes, sp is getting scarce. If the price of steem cos high, it will cost higher to get sp.

You’re a robot. A kind hearted 24Ever robot. If anyone’s in the documentary like that, it’s you dude. In my dreams you’re not even just one man, but have a whole village as your fam. [no votes for this for any reason, I’m just trying to help the comments grow in meaning, and to provide receptions for additional interaction.

Hahahahaha kind hearted 24 hours superman robot.

Okay, well guess converting to steem will be much better then right?

I tell you, @surpassinggoogle is a super man. I don't know how he does it.
I pray may God continue to bless you for us

I agree with you guys, I think he has supernatural abilities. I still can't comprehend how he responds to comments. You're a machine @surpassinggoogle, lol

This is really an eye opener for newbies like my friends.Lol..

The constant awareness we have gradually create on here by means of our steemit posts and on social media etc is leaving lingering marks and over time, people are beginning to establish within their minds that steemit isn't a hype and they will flock in.

One way or the other this platform would need features like mutual friendship suggestions because family members will be on steemit and not even know.

Hahaha some AI. Some app will certainly do that.

I can see it coming lol...Some Dads will sign up only to realize son he been thinking as small boy has been on steem millz all along.

Yes, I see it coming

wooow this took me more than 20min to read.
Steemit is really in there in many other platforms and the public will be able to see it and know it first, then tons of people will be joining by this simple steps.
Furthermore Steemit constructs of a democracy between members and this will make it very popular in no time.

So true. Thank you for the effort in reading as well

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

@surpassinggoogle Thanks for the heads up and precious advice. I can't stress enough how grateful I am for everything you've been doing here on Steemit to help minnows. Blessings to you sir!

Highest Regards
@lordneroo

Awesome. I am glad

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

@surpassinggoogle Lol! Haha! By the way since you mentioned tokens, ETHLend are doing an airdrop for eidoo wallet holders. Don't need to keep funds, just download the eidoo wallet for android or ios and backup the wallet.

I recently have been running into the bandwidth problems. It’s not cool. It actually scares me because I’m worried I’m losing my account every time. But I’m glad more people are coming into STEEMIT. This is a great place and this platform will grow exponentially

Yes, just focus on growing SP a bit, then the bandwidth problem will reduce.

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

Thank you very much sir @surpassinggoogle. I use to think that making the 100% SP payout was the best way. But now, i know better sir.

I will always want to use any medium to appreciate you for the way you're touching lives. I pray God's continuous blessings never depart from you sir. You will always have a special prayers in our hearts. Thank you sir.

It is the best way when SBD is around 1USD in price. Stay awesome.

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

Steemit is so great im newbie in steemit i do my best to involve in steemit i think its a great opportuinity to have a real job in the internet
im learniing more and more , my brother help me so mch it will my passion

Yes keep it up. If you need more help, join the discord link at the bottom of my post and in the general chat there ask for @artaddict @samic @ewuoso @honourmaus @eastmael @sunnylife @steemitph etc they will direct you more

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

thanks so mush i will do my best i have 3 days in steemit and its amazing :)

Awesome to hear

I think That Steemit and Steem will grow to massive size and gain in popularity faster than any other platform :D

We can do it together!

No doubt. Welcome on steemit!

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

Yes I have a lot of troubles. I need to steem to unlock the power with unfortunately. I am be new participant.I hope I will improve myself and improve steem power.. @surpassinggoogle

Yes you will. At least now you know it is possible. After establishing that fully in your mind, go for it. Grow a small community, grow strong and help one another.

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

You're right.Unfortunately I do not have a friend here but I try to win a community like you said.I hope I can win a community.. @surpassinggoogle

You can start one yourself too. It is gradual. So you will need to pace things. Keep engaging in the comments, then join in in the chat rooms. There is a link under post to a discord steemgigs community. Join in there to meet steemians

Yes I am gradually trying to improve myself..My first job will be to enter this group.Firstly,I need as much as a student to help.. :) @surpassinggoogle

VERY COOL!

BUT I HAVE BADWITH PROBLEM, WHO CAN HELP AND HOW ?

What's the issue? I'll try to help if I can. If there bandwidth issues with Steem, they just tend to be temporary issues that go away quickly with time. As stated in the post above, the exceeded bandwidth message is a measure to help prevent DDOS attacks.

It says bandwidth limits wait to transact or power up

I haven't seen the message related to powering up. I have seen the message about bandwidth limits. I believe that it's just a temporary issue related to protecting Steem users from DDOS attacks.

You will need to wait for it to recover a bit. You can check your bandwidth on https://steemd.com/@bornprince on the left side. If it is on a negative, it will recover after sometime. If you have some liquid steem you can power it up too. You can reserve transactions for now to posts for now till you grow some steem power

Thank you very much sir, I saw that bandwith is 99% now but Voting power is 20.87%, How to increase voting power?

very, very important article! i am somewhat new here and even i have been wondering as to when people were going to start flocking in. i better get on it before its too late!

Exactly. You are welcome and just in time. Stay awesome!

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

You're on the right track, just keep moving

it has been a very beautiful article.but it's really hard to raise Sp just now.I'm 20 days old but I was only able to raise 6 sp.this has no effect on the upvote value.Upvote needs to deposit a certain amount of money to upgrade.Most people who sign up on this site come here to make some money.It is more logical to take cash instead of upgrading sp for a short time.but it is reasonable to upgrade the SP in the long span so right..
Thanks for sharing...@surpassinggoogle

yeah, it's like any other business. If you don't come in with money (i..e. Steem), you've got to invest your time. The more you invest, the more you can earn. In other words, most of us can't look for short-term success.

Sweet comment.

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

Well yes it a bit hard but consistency and patient will work. There will one post or more soon that will change that. Let's see how it goes.

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

Thank you :) I'm waiting for the new writing.because I want to raise sp value quickly :))

For your content, try to be more expressive to stand out. More words etc then for images add image source and credit to give curators freedom to vote. Then join communities to get to have steemians know you. There is a discord underneath my post and a community of steemians there

I started 3 weeks ago and I noticed you about 2 weeks ago. You support a lot of people. I guess I'm an enthusiastic steemian. Your help is very good. I thought of taking the Steam Power many times. But I did not have the financial means to do it. That's why I'm just trying to win Steem Power on Steemit. Thanks for sharing ... @surpassinggoogle

Hahaha yes. I understand, Just keep on gathering it on steemit. There will be times when you will be able to invest money. For now, you can invest your time and effort.

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

I do this a lot. I'm sure I'm active about 14-15 hours a day. I hope this works. What about you? @surpassinggoogle

Lol @surpassinggoogle is a time bomb, once he arrives, he explodes everywhere with his awesomeness.

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens
I went on airclinic but maybe i was late. The voice part was mute and no attendees

Oh oh, thanks for honouring my invitation, guess you came late or cos of the time difference. 8pm here should be 3am over there. But have in mind, that you owe me. 😉

This is very amazing to see some people prefer Steemit than Facebook basically. this will help people more to explore steemit, and this through Facebook. and one day we may tell that Steemit can be a competitor to facebook

No doubt. Steemit doesnt even have to compete with Facebook cos it is another use-case. it is decentralized, private, no ADs etc

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

I just learned about Steemit it a few days ago and Im trying to cram my brain with all of this new information and helpful tips and articles. It seems a bit overwhelming at times. :/

So true switie. It will be really but it will get easier. You can visit the discord link underneath my posts and in the general chat room there, just mention @artaddict @samic @ankarlie @tegoshei @steemitph @dandalion @sunnylife they will assist you.

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

1 week ago I met steemit and suggested friends. I'm at SteMit with ten friends now. I like steemit. I work constantly to grow.

Awesome. "Your own community" on steem, is powerful

we are rookies. We're discovering Steemit. force comes from unity.

Steemit is truly an amazing platform and it allows everyone to have a voice. I'm humbled to be fortunate to have found this place I now like to call my home. I wish everyone a blessed 2018! -Zach

So true. I love the aspect of its beauty that you have spotted. Awesome!

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

You are right sir. Many people have been complaining about the bandwidth recently, I think it's due to in flock of people to the community. Wise advice for smart people.
Thanks @surpassinggoogle for this

Indirectly yes. Overall, it is a protective measure to reduce on spam efforts by DDOS attacks

Here are some imaginary @teardrops token

Hell yeah, I had a vision of the future where everyone was paid to make snarky comments online, I feel like I manifested Steemit! I was thinking about how this is just the Beta version, when it is ready we will all be sitting pretty!

I believe so. Create that app in your dream on the steem blockchain specifically for snarky comments. Dream equaller reality now

Here are some imaginary @teardrops token

Am on now fully,I was planning on powering up my upcoming posts,now it's assured I will Power up all of them so that I gather some SP.

Indeed numbers are increasing,I posted an image of my withdrawal on my whatsapp status....damn I got very Manu inquiries about the money I earned.

I will write a post about that tomorrow.

Nope dont powerup. That comes later. 50/50 is great then you can buy sp and power up or if sbd goes up and steem stays down, buy more steem when that happens to get more sp. If you power up 100 percent, you will lose out on so much sp cos sbd is currently higher than 1 dollar. So it is better to get half your pay in sbd

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

thanks for the information :) @surpassinggoogle
i new here and hope i can learn from you

Just read every single word... I really have been doing it all wrong by cashing out everytime... No more, no more... Thanks kind sir @surpassinggoogle for this

Not exactly can it be said to be wrong. You can cash out but i think it is best to let the essence of cashing out be inspiration to be fireup more. Cashing out at this point should be to that effect. The thing is this, if you powered up, you will still make cash from the dividend of sp but that will be like you fishing now, you will make dividend and help others, this will result in more dividend and you will have a capital that yours still and has grown in value. Stay awesome switie

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

Hahahahaha not as lengthy as your 'normal posts'. Thank you so much for this. You always give more insight and explanations.
Yes, i was one of the many users that dumped Facebook for this awesome platform. I still have notifications there that i haven't checked in days. Can you blame me? Haha.

It is crystal clear now that building up SP is good in the long run and advisable. That was what i was told at first too by @tojukaka. I used my first accumulated SBD then to buy Steem which i converted to power up. I wish i got more. I will have to invest more in that from now on.

Thank you as always.

You are welcome. Facebook still has its use. But who knows, one may build Facebook-like interface on steem soon. Maybe me!

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

That would be awesome as there is no limit to what the mind can imagine and do. Yes, you can. There is no limit for a determined mind. If you want to go for even presidency hahahaha i would campaign for you for free due to your awesomeness. Thank you sir.

Exact! You said this a long time ago, i heard. In november, my vote was worth 0.02, now it's 0.43
Thanks for your advice and support , all listened to and incorporated.
:)

Here are some imaginary @teardrops token

I believe this to be true in general from word of mouth. I have got at least a dozen of new users on here in the past couple weeks, as they warmed up to the idea. Then every time the price jumps a ton of crypto users take notice.

So many have BTC, when they get tired of that investment not showing gains I believe they will put it into Steemit to maximize there returns with crypto.

Amazing testimonies to here. I foresee the btc investments onto steem as well

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

I understand that your own posts are valuable.. but is it really worth this much?

I am still trying to figure out why you taking this up on yourself..@surpassinggoogle like @alxgraham has said is not one person embezzling all the money from on here. He has affected loves positively and if I am not mistaken you have learnt a thing or two from him yourself. Please worry about the whales who do not give a care about how newbies are doing bro! Peace.

Good Deeds do not Forgive Bad Deeds.

If a police officer saved 10,000 innocent lives, then intentially killed 10 innocent lives, does that still make them a good person? Self-serving is self-serving, regardless of how much "philanthropy" they do.


Steemit Blockchain Source

@surpassinggoogle is not one of those people who’s taking money out at a totally unsustainable rate. He gives a ____, and hands a shit ton back to us. You should worry about whales fluffling whales who haven’t got any content except smoke blowing!

I'm simply posing a question and hoping for the courtesy of a response.

I'm not here to measure one account's good deeds vs anothers, or bad deeds vs bad deeds. Taking $200 for a post for anyone seems a bit excessive, no matter who they are.

If it’s being just kept yes. True. But he’s not doing that. I know tons of rich dicks on here, having spent two months full time working on a documentary. Look at trending and see what gets paid way more, that doesn’t remotely get spread around to our ground floor. 1% of us are whales, but half are poor AF, and if no one with power spreads any cheddar, things aren’t gonna get any better.

Did you know that @surpassinggoogle has delegated Steem Power?

Did you know that he just used that delegated Steem Power to upvote his post at 100% Voting Power?

I don't mind 100% upvotes from your own voting power, which for him is slightly less than 5% of his total SP (). Using delegated SP for self interests is, well, self-serving.

By the way, did you know that all of his upvotes doing "support of the community" still get paid curation rewards? So it's not like those are completely "free"...

Look, I'm not denying that @surpassinggoogle has done AMAZING things for the community with his outreach efforts in the past. I'm just saying that he should consider the impact of a 100% vote on his own posts.

By the way, could you please let @surpassinggoogle reply to his own messages? I'd like to hear from him about why he felt comfortable providing himself with a $200+ self-vote (which is worth closer to $600+ in real dollars based on the current value of Steem/SBD).

I’m not stopping S.G. from responding to you. Nor do I Expect him to work for nothing. You do 12+ hours a day? You think his friends and supporters are clueless? It’s just that there are so many people only taking away. Getting paid for nothing. I’m sure you’re on their posts also. Nothing personal. I complain too, but I pick my battles, and make them with selfish lazy profiteers, not good men who occasionally take a few thousand cents for electricity and rent

You should check that number of "a few thousand cents". @paulag has done a few analyses on how much @surpassinggoogle has taken from his SP delegations in the past. The numbers now would be quite interesting to me .. in case anyone from #bisteemit is interested in looking at @surpassinggoogle's current voting habits.

Here's what he did with @ned's delegation a while back.. actually, 5 months ago.. so multiply these earnings by 6 or 7 in today's dollars:

source

Why are you so busy comparing X to Y when you're not looking at the value of X independently? Just because Johnny Killed 5 people and Susie Killed 3 people doesn't mean that Susie isn't evil.

Evil is Evil.
Right is Right.
Wrong is Wrong.

The thing is you may even get an upvote worth money, all this comes from there.

Terry is by far different from what you think and know actually quite better than most you know

I'm not going to duplicate my entire post from above, but here you go on the rest of it...


Steemit Blockchain Source

This wasnt a simple question to me like you put it, else you would have waited for me to answer before putting so many comments in the comments section talking to others about me based on very limited information. You know very little about me and what i do and if you do, please state that too and if you think i am bad or not-so-good, you can sift the not-so-good to find good in it. Speaking of analogies like "If a police officer saved 10,000 innocent lives, then intentially killed 10 innocent lives" etc to others here; you would have spoken that to me or waited to speak it to me, if your question here was a simple question to me. I am not triggered though as my answer here is because i choose to answer you. I have done so much life to be shaken by simple events and i have been on steemit long enough and know too much of history here to be upset at moments like this. As for the conversions into usd value, it doesnt work that way, even in real life. It is like going to different countries and not wanting to purchase anything cos one wants to calculate and do conversions to the new currency each time and compare it to what it would have been in his currency. There are bigger things than that.
i have roles to play here long term and i know the communities i cater to here and you may know that i was delegated power but do you know why as well? "No", cos most of the value on steemit is created behind the scenes etc and not everyone does posts or updates on what they do. Too, not every information is known to everyone and not information is given to everyone.
I know how many times i have posted within a month and i know what i am doing. I know of the reward pool and especially the SP tokens, not the usd value.
There is transparency on steemit but there should also be respect, so it should not be expected that i have to air everything i do to answer to everyone. Though, it is transparent, i will not come to you and even question the value of your post let alone your contributions cos isnt it priceless plus, i certainly wont measure earnings on your post by dollar value becos we use steem tokens here and what if steem tokens are 5000usd tomorrow. Then in usd perhaps even liners will earn 50 usd each in payout, so, will go questioning each one and when steem was 7 cents, ofcourse the post value may be at 20 usd, did we question it then. Overall, i can never truly know your motives and who am i to question it, when you are adult like me and will i do it real life, if you where physically next to me? I so wont. Cos i will sift even the not-so-good to find good in it, for if the creator heartily looks for our faults, who will stand. We are mere dust and there a bigger things in life.
in my case, it doesnt work that way. I have a responsibility here and while you may look at dollar value, i look at my responsibility and especially with regards to many others and the steem power required to accomplish this down the road and now. Yes, steem is 6 usd but how about steem power. I have been here when steem was 0.07, so why hurriedly do conversions. it doesnt work that way. If steem becomes 1000 usd, even a simple 1 percent vote on a simple comment will give out perhaps $50 on it, will you start questioning the value of each of these comments? The answer is no. Becos, ofcourse in the long term, what if steem goes down too. I have never powered down and i was here even when it was 7 cents so please look at history as well not just now because alot of history's involved here and speaking of taking, you never fully know that because you have very limited data. Do you know how much is used for steem behind the scenes? How about sponsored steem meetups etc how about a full rpc node 256 gb, how about the steemgigs interface being developed and the server its staging is running on, how about surpassinggoogle.com (and the server for it) to fix content discovery and curation (app) and my witness servers or my last contest that had 900 post entries and 5k plus comments and delegation of roles and contribution to leaders of projects and my roles as witness, did you also know all this? I have a role here and it is long term and down the road my steem power will be essential and becos of this responsibility, it more about this than any dollar value, for whether it is 7 cents or 6 dollars i am here. Steemit is not only about steemit and content creation for there is also steem and much of the value created behind the scenes rewarded on the scenes in simple-looking post.
I now answer to perhaps 3000 or more steemians, with the steemgigs community alone constituting of going to 2000 steemians and entire nations and the masses from these nations are coming. And i know how many times i post a month for the sole reason of letting others earn. I dont post each day for this sole reason and many times i dont post in 3 to 5 days except for reasons that very much involve scenes in the background. Many times my posts are "in the role of community leader" to fix things in the background. Would you have know how many discussions before this post that prompted this post today and how many groups i have spoken in and how many chats and fone calls i have been in before this post? Steemit doesnt provide us with those date.
When i dont spend 5 mins of rest a day cos in the chats too many people need hours of talk from me, i care much about these people that i am break myself. My mum just died recently after not seeing here for 5 years and i saw her for just 16 days only for her to die and i just buried her and i break myself to help even hours in the chats and when i am too broken, i do a post so i can reach out to many.
This is a role of responsibility and my post even with its reward is a reflection of much except one of responsibilty becos i know where i am headed with this and perhaps many know this too but i dont need to say a history of what i do here because i am not one to annoucne it for those who know know and those who choose to look more closely too. Yes, and just yesterday i gave out steem power and even steem to encourage leaders when i talk to a group and can empower all. You use the words evil, bad etc please read this comment and its undertone. I choose not to be hurt with all your comments here on a post that i did with all love and i cant be offended for i forgive a hundred times. There are things in life bigger than these things. I responded here mostly becos you spoke your comments to others and i do care about that and i do care about you
Many things are priceless. The reward here has way nothing to do with the posts and many things are priceless and even my posts cos they contain many things in the underlying having to do with life itself which is priceless to me and i can't say your post and excerpts of you etc isn't priceless, so i cant even tag an amount on it in reality, so my reward to the post has nothing much to do with the post. This is my response. Saying those other comments you made to others wasnt necessary, if you see me as the culprit, then speak those words to me instead

i vote at (80 percent or so or below) voting power mostly always after my curation for the day for the sake of the reward pool

You have said it all and for those of us that understand what you are saying we are ok with your explanation even if you don't explain it we understood you so much. Thank you for sharing this information at least those that want to know will now know.
Am always a fan and I believe in all that you are doing on this platform. Keep up the good job and continue to make more impact.
Like I will always say " you good virtue cannot be overlooked". Boy Terry I celebrate you and all that you represent.

Hey bro @surpassinggoogle. I think you have said everything that needs to be said. Your works speak for you. Next time you shouldn't even waste your time answering some of these people. Thanks for everything bro!

I just did it to educate the world on the true state of the world still unknown to the world and for the sake of others. No worries! I visited air clinic earlier before this post to listen to @jeline but i think i was late or maybe early, the voice channel had two participants who were mute

Here are some imaginary @teardrops tokens

Look, you do a lot. Your previous response that many things are priceless was enough of a response.

I've seen the work you do and the effort that you put into Steemit. It's extraordinary.

With all of the controversy around Steemit about reward pool concerns, I was stating that a 100% upvote (with 80% voting power?) for yourself doesn't give off a positive perception, especially when you have so much delegated SP.

If I wanted, I could find who is delegating the SP to you and for how much and possibly find a post where they describe why they're doing it. But that doesn't accomplish anything. The gesture of delegating you the SP tells me that people value the efforts that you are doing and want to help you with them.

My examples.. Well, yeah, they needed to be extreme because I was getting responses from people other than you about something that they could not control or know the answer to. They aren't you, so they can't answer the original question. Oh, and they were jumping on me like I just punched a child, simply because I did something as simple as asking a question. That's unacceptable to me, and I decided to give them some life lessons that they apparently were lacking.

That's the thing, I don't see you as a culprit. I was just asking for more information. And the comments that I received were not as courteous as the message that you sent. So I responded with less courtesy. Respect is not simply given, it is earned. Your tone (consistently) has earned a respectful response from me.

I'm not going to say what your post should be worth or how much you should be taking from the rewards pool. My humble suggestion would simply be to take smaller amounts more frequently. It looks better "perception-wise" than taking $200 in one shot. And considering the real world "Fiat" value is something that all of us should consider, especially with a rising value of Steem/SBD. It's an important time to keep track of that type of value.

I wish you the best of luck with your efforts.

Yes i understand. My posts have a responsibility to it and many times are triggered by events for the most part and except i decline payment, it requires visibility as well. Apart from rewards on posts there is so also visibility which is very important in this case. As for smaller votes, i don't post several times and i don't post daily and if you look at my posts, they are for specific reasons and for many reasons behind the scenes. Posting for me at this point is more of a responsibilty than rewards. My comment section shows this as well.
My point as regards the reason behind the delegation is "many things happen behind the scenes". It was by Ned too, so there was no post about it. And the communities and nations i cater to is large. Ofcourse, this is a community and my ways can't please everyone. I do hundreds of comments as well; i dont vote these except in very few cases when it is essential etc When you say take you should emphasize the give just as equally. My interface the will be on surpassinggoogle.com to fix content curation and discovery is a give and there are many gives. Now the steem is 6 usd, i didnt increase post frequency and nothing has changed with me. I maintain my responsibility as i have been since minnow and if steem goes to 100 usd, i will be this same Terry, so its not about rewards for me. I dont pursue money because there are bigger things than that. So rewards on my posts have way bigger reasons than the post itself
Your comments to the others where all directed at me as well and if you don't know these things can hurt really bad and in places where i am from even wreck especially when you can have been wrong but there are many bigger things to life than these things.
I understand community and steemit and i so know about perception and a reputation model and paradigm, so i keep that in check even with my posts and votes. My focus for votes is sp for more good down the road because i have a responsibility for the communities i cater to and have catered to since my minnow days i large and growing. I have the responsibility. I am not in position to post frequently with all i do. The alpha for steemgigs will be ready soon etc, i am looking at bigger things than posting for rewards. I take all this to mind though and i will ofcourse learn from it but ofcourse i regard the needs of many too and the bigger picture. Ofcourse i respect you too as others will hurriedly do posts about this and so boldly defaming me, using very limited info and even go report me different steemians even passionately. I respect how you took my response as well. I am very responsible and if you see me, i dont have a dime etc but i wont shake at the opportunity to earn big cos i will not purse after money as it should be the other way around

Yeah, there are definitely some accounts who report community members for small "infractions"? (not sure if that's really the right word), when they could simply have a conversation with the person they're complaining about first. At no point have I intended on, or considered doing that for this post. I posted on here to speak with you "one-on-one", and discuss your intentions.

In any case, I'm not going to "report" this post. Nor do I believe that your post deserves any "flags" or to be reported in any negative way. You're doing a great service to many communities.


My posts have a responsibility to it

Let me discuss why I agree with this statement. You are responsible to the community to provide clear, clean, organized, and useful posts that will benefit the community. While potentially useful, this post has none of the other attributes.

To quote a cheesy comic book: "With great power comes great responsibility".

The way I see this post, and why I originally commented, is because it is not exactly organized (which you did admit at the beginning of your post), and not exactly a "valuable" post. I have been on Steemit for 7 months and have seen posts like this literally hundreds, if not thousands, of times. As such, a value of $200+ from a self-upvote looked suspicious and suspect to me. I would say this about ANY account with a post having these attributes; I am in no way trying to single you out.

Here's my suggestion: No matter how busy you are with comments and voting and re-steeming community members, you still have the responsibility to share a message in a directed and organized manner. You've been on here for a long time, and that's amazing. I do honestly believe that you're not here for the rewards. You work way too hard for that to be true.

But for the people who are here for rewards ... which there are many ... if they read your post and see all of the disjointed information and screenshots and poor structure.. then they look at the post payout of $200+ .. they may get the idea that "Steemit is EASY MONEY. All I need to do is post like @surpassinggoogle does and BOOM, I'll be a MILLIONAIRE!" ... and that's the last thing that we (Loyal Steemians) need.

Again, you're doing amazing things for many communities. I don't think that anyone can deny that. I would just ask that you take a little extra time to present yourself, and the communities that you're representing, with a more deliberate and organized message.

Please take this as constructive criticism, and not as a hateful message. My intent is solely to assist you. I am not trying to discourage or put you down in any way.

Hahaha i understand but don't worry about that. I know the tone in which i speak and the communities i cater to and these they may not look concise contain info about life underlying "no books" involved and that"s what i am about, so no worries. My posts are deliberate and organized and the essence of my statement about is to instill "read between the lines and what's underlying" and this has been my tone since day one and where my voice lies. Not everyone will value this style but when friends come to ask "how do i become like you" my answer to them is, "to be like me, you will have to stubbornly be the awesomest version of you". So no worries. I took it constructively and learned from it. As for time, i put a ton of it, a piece of me and lots of love in it. I dont want people to read, i want to feel and be moved.

Many things are priceless

I always cannot hold myself from falling in love with your post especially because of how you naturally know how to keep the juice flowing.

@surpassinggoogle i learnt alot from this post and am sure gonna practise.

More power to your elbow.

Awesome to hear bro

thank you very much @surpassinggoogle for helping the Steem Community grow. Your intentions are pure and I just want you to know that You've indeed wiped away most tears from a whole lot of people. Keep being strong and good, people will always say their opinions, but that doesn't stop us from doing good. God who sees in Heaven will surely reward us. Praying for God's blessings upon you.

That is a great post! Steemit is definitely going to be very huge in terms of popularity and now is the best time to gather as much steem power as possible while it's still not too expensive! The price can definitely be 100$ in the future, so we are still the early birds here. I'd say there's no better time to be on steemit than now! So let's make this community the best kind of community on the whole internet! 🙂

So on point

Good emphasis of the importance of steem power. I remember when I bought steem to power up, it was around $2 plus and now shot up to more than $6 and above. I am a 25-day member. Thanks for posting this!

You are welcome
