RE: FOLLOW ME BOUNTY MARKING MY 3 MONTHS ANNIVERSARY ON STEEMIT
Congratulations on reaching your first 3 months on the STEEM#/Steemit platform @maclevis! I do remember my first 3 months after discovering STEEM, which in turn guided me to discovering the STEEM#. As you mentioned in your post, I was also confused and made many, many, mistakes on Steemit. I made so many mistakes, I was basically finished with the whole idea of STEEM/Steemit. There was one little thing that ultimately would lead me to stick with Steem, the community.
If it were not for users like @stevenalexander, @jerrybanfield, and @joeparys, I would of turned my back on STEEM and it's blockchain. If I could't release any great content, I knew I would have trouble growing a following that not only follows me, but a following that would be a committed following. I struggled with this, and about a month ago decided that I would not post any content on a regular basis, but would invest my own fiat back into the STEEM# in which I truly believe in.
I have delegated to @smartsteem and @minnowbooster. I figured if I can't earn by lack of posting content, I would earn by delegating my Steem Power to others that will use it. So I am not a regular Steemit poster, but I am a committed investor of the STEEM#. I seem to earn more rewards this way.
I decided I would continue to invest in STEEM after observing the SBD fluctuating between at it's pegged price of 1 USD, give or take a few cents. But I see it doing exactly what it was programmed to do, staying at or near to $1 USD mark.
While STEEM itself is down in the 30 to 40 cent range, I believe it will begin to rise again. I don't necessarily see the SBD rising back up to a $15 USD price range, but if BTC continues to rise in it's price, STEEM and many other Alts should follow the rise as well.
Thank you @jjohnson78 for your great write up, There are two kinds of people on steemit, investors and social media minded people . Those that belongs to former keeps holding steem hoping to gain more when the value rises and those that belong to later just love social and lovely communities on steemit and feels happy when their post receives upvotes and enough audience. In both ways, 95% of people on steemit came to make a living. Everyone of them seeks to make something out of the steemit. So Steemit is therefore full of workers and business oriented individuals. what makes the differences is just that some people have better initiative than others. Good initiative is directly proportional to the amount of money you make here on steemit. So we keep working on the projects to supports the community which in turn will make us famous and bring money to our pockets. Investing on steemit is also something I love doing and it will pay off, at least I'm happy to be here for now and I love the vibe within the communities especially on discord channel.
