RE: The Best Thing That Happened To Me Because Of Steemit

in #steemit7 years ago

When I did see your post, I guessed that being the king of engagement would be here in somewhere. But maybe this is the results of the 3 points you have mentioned.
@dragosroua is doing a great thing with his challenge, it is all over my feed! Way to go.

  1. Very glad to read to it get's you a little bit out of your isolation. I know that it is harsh to describe it this way, but I couldn't find better wording.
  2. Reading. Yep, I also love to read different opinions about various topics. And for sure the one, which makes me think. Think about my life, about the future and so on. Also sometimes good to reflect things on ourselves and coming to the conclusion that my life is great!
  3. Being myself. Yep another great thing about it!

But I would have put a bet on it, that interaction is one of the most important things here on the steem blockchain. And I am surprised that you did not give the interaction part more weight!

Thanks for sharing!

I don't even know if I am still at the top of the engagement heap since we took a week off. Maybe everyone had a chance to take a breather and come up with winning strategies. At any rate, being atop the engagement league has definitely been fun, but I had to be a member of the league first, so credit needs to go where credit is due.

I agree that dragosroua definitely has something working here. I've seen the same thing happening in my feed.

Okay, so I did start with the people part of this, while admitting it's not my strong suit, right? :) I think that's giving it a lot of weight, actually, when you lead with the thing you're the least naturally inclined at. All of this running around I've been doing isn't really my thing. It's my wife's, not me. She's not here, though, and she much prefers talking with her mouth than talking with fingers on a keyboard.

The interacting part is great, but there's other places to do that. I could say the same thing for finding stuff to read, and to lesser extents, the attention economy and even being a part of something larger than self. However, it's the sum of the parts, each working together and enhancing each other as it amplifies the whole that is the real story here. And that, my friend, is only a small story in comparison to what will be told on the STEEM blockchain if/when the bootstrapped economy takes place. :)

And in my case, my continuing participation in all of this, is because of the leagues. That's where I choose to put the greater weight because right now it's one of the driving forces behind everything that is done here.
