One of the craziest and best weeks on Steemit ever for me. STEEM rollercoaster and launching Steemify!
This week can be filed under one of the craziest weeks on the Steem blockchain for me.
I have been here for a while (Since July 2016) and saw some crazy shit but this week is right up there.
Steem went up and down like a rollercoaster making my portfolio swing with tens of thousands of dollars.
An insane amount. And hard to comprehend at times for me.
Then SBD went up to $12 making the payouts of everyone that blogs on Steemit so much higher. (And still, it's hovering around $9)
And amidst all that chaos we ( @blockbrothers) were in the clinch with Apple trying to get our app Steemify approved.
All in one week!
Great success!
But we succeeded and Apple approved the app late last night!
I was already sleeping when our developer @bennierex got the good news at 1 am.
He was ecstatic on our private channel and I missed it! I'm getting too old...lol
But when I saw the message in the morning I jumped out of bed straight away. The other guys were already awake to ( @s3rg3 and @eqko).
The whole day we have been busy launching our app Steemify.
Here you can see it in the App Store. It's real!
Now, It's Saturday evening and @eqko, the guy in the picture, just left for home where he will help his wife make her first post for Steemit. (slowly they are all converted, lol)
But first, we had some pizza and beers to celebrate today! (Something you should always do when you encounter success IMHO.)
Already we have over a hundred downloads in the App Store and it's climbing.
That's pretty successful in my book! We are very happy.
But it wasn't easy. The app bounced 3 times before it got approved.
Apple runs a tight ship when it comes to apps. Which is great for the end user but sometimes tough for the developers.
If you want to give the app a go you can grab it here:
I'm so glad the app is finally done. But we can't rest now. Going up the witness list is a tough cookie and you can't sit still. We are already working on something new.
But not tonight...no...tonight we celebrate!
Good work man! I hear ya on the account moving 10's of thousands....mine was doing the exact same thing. Lol..it was scary to look at because it was worse ever five seconds. Congrats on the approval of your new app, I'm gonna check it out myself. Have a good weekend.
Yeah! It's a rollercoaster for sure! I hope you like the app and consider us ( @blockbrothers) for a witness vote.
I will vote for you for witness. I have a couple of spots open.
Thanks, man!
Wow! Great work the past months fellow dutchman!
Can't imagine what it would be like to see your money fluctuate that much!! I am just here for 3 days now, trying to see if my photography would be appropriated! Sko far so good I guess. If you ever have free time on your hands I would love to talk about your steem experience. Just one hour by train from Amsterdam, so that's a minor investment in order to maybe learn a lot! Congratulations on your app approval! Have been working for an app developer myself last year and I know what a trouble Apple can give you!
Keep it up!
Good stuff my brother
🎊 🎉 Celebrate achievement has always had a stepping stone.
I will check the app.
Keep on steemit.
Let me know what you think! And thanks, man!
Congratulations on such a successful week. In many ways it's been a great week for everyone here on Steemit and your app launch has made things a little bit better for all of us so thank you. I've already been using it and it's helped me gain some insights into things I wouldn't otherwise see such as people starting to follow/unfollow me
Thank you! I'm glad the app is working for you!
100% upvote. Steemify is cool.
Now I know you track Bitcoin price... we all have to...
I predict Bitcoin will be $25,000 USD by March 2018 and I explained a lot of why this keeps happening on my blog... please swing by and see if I make any sense to you. :)
Thanks! And of course, I look at BTC price!
I don't know what to say. I just checked and you haven't even seen my blog (by vote or comment).
I'm starting to see you as a steemit celebrity now.. Are you a steemit celebrity?
Nice work on the app guys. The interface is very good. It also works smooth without any lag.
Thank you! Glad you like it!
Wish you good luck for Steemify...Hope Steemify rocks just like SBD at the moment.
thanks, man!
Yep. One of the downloaders (as promised!). Spent ages putting my follow list in and am now all set up!
Also used the market for the first time to trade to get some Steem and then steempower. Looking forward to my up arrow actually doing something one day!
Fantastic! I hope you like the app as much as I do.
It’s so useful. I like to know what’s going on easily, and now I do!
I also think your app approval may have received a boost in its acceptance. The newfound image of another outlet for creators via the Steemit network may have helped a bit too.
Holding my fingers and twos crossed for the upcoming release of an Android equivalent.
Excellent post my friend, many congratulations for the approval of app and i am so glad to see Steemify app is in the apple store for free download and that's fantastic achievement in such short spade of time, well it is a craziest week indeed in cyrpto world honestly i never see such huge pumps in cryptos before but this past week it's just crazy every day we able to see a big green line in charts and it's good for all coin holder's and bloggers, i have a question my android device not working properly so in the mean time i am using playstore apps on my laptop with the help of bluestacks, is there a way available to install steemify app on my laptop from apple store, if yes then let me know, wish you a fantastic weekend ahead! my friend, Stay blessed
