RE: How Has Steem Impacted My Life? Possibilities and Changes of Perception!

in #steemimpact5 years ago

and I'm glad you are still here.

For a while I was hoping steemit would end up paying the bills. Who knows, maybe it will some day, but for now I'm happy just making friends, finding readers, and earning some of that coin. It's added a whole lot to my life which I will write about in my submission later today

Sort:  

Glad to see you still here, too!

In spite of many other flaws, I still really appreciate the core community here, and so I keep on keepin' on. However, I no longer have any expectations that there's "money" to be made, here. That said, I'm adopting more of a long-term stance now... leaving whatever parts of my rewards that are SP powered up indefinitely, and treating the liquid rewards as a sort of "forced savings" that may or may not end up having value.

My wife and I are planning a trip to Europe in the summer of 2021, and I figure I'll just save up the liquid bits till then... knowing full well that there might be enough for a dinner, or enough for the rental car, or enough to pay for the whole thing... all depending on where the markets go.

And I'm OK with that!

That’s exactly the attitude to have. I’m hoping for more but not really counting on any of it anymore. The core is core!
