RE: 💭 Your Steemit Time Challenge

But...

if....

and some other simple but mighty words.

I am not a native speaker, you know. I understand you, without opening the dictionary, but that is not the case for a lot of users. Steemit was EN-oriented blockchain for long... and to some borders it still is (haha! I wrote this in English, not in Russia). Folks cant (or had serious problems) with understanding the requirements, policies, guides etc etc etc etc. What have worked for you, would hardly work for many other users whose native language is not EN. But this is just... another brick in the wall, step aside. I don't think this is a very significant reason.

another 20,000 Steem that I trade with

Is it your investment? Not sure if I understood you correctly here. I never could invest money into Steemit. It is sort of magic that I could invest my time into it... in such quantaties (I was a jobless for 14 months during this C-19 shit...)

Ok, I value your time too. It was a good conversation. And next time!

I agree with this 100% and actually contribute much of my "success" to it. I'm a native, well educated English speaker and from what I can see - most of those left for Hive. So in one sense, I stand out as a result. If I had to post, comment and reply in Russian, Chinese or Korean (other than the fact that I probably wouldn't have joined), I wouldn't have survived.

The Steem that I trade is also from upvotes but instead of powering up, I use t to provide liquidity to the internal market (volatility is my friend). Other than learning how to withdraw to various exchanges, I've not withdrawn any Steem (yet).

I know that my path here has been unique and almost certainly something that can't be replicated. My objective has always been to make Steemit a better platform and have taken a number of bold steps (and risks) as a result which has presented opportunities that I've taken advantage of. I've no doubt that 100 other people could repeat my journey without the rewards.

Thanks for taking the time to comment and share your perspective. Your English is superb - better than many who call it their native tongue 🙂

I love how it sounds, all of it, purely all of it.
let me go to sleep.

I cant imagine myself making 20k off Steem price volatility... ehehe... thats cause I count myself an original content creater rather then a crypto-enthusiast (considering STEEM what it is: convenient asset for speculations).. I am really not enough 'crypto' or 'enthusiast' for all that.... ehehe.

at this point I cant add anything else. good night! and TNKS for a pleasurable time killing conversation. my pleasure to feed you with the 1st grade comments created by (c) qwerrie ;)))

Ha ha - I know next to nothing about crypto. I don't even know why it exists 😆
