Upvotable #16: Steem Inflation, Eye Contact, and Green Tea!

in #upvotable7 years ago

Will these new posts help us more than reading books because of the greater diversity of our authors here? I am loving reading the posts from upvotable every two days and am starting to replace reading books with these because I am amazed at what is sticking with me and helping me during the day after I read posts on Steem! We have something AMAZING going here and we are lucky to be in on it before most everyone else!

Do you struggle to read through a post and end up often skimming rapidly and feeling impatient about finishing the post? I have struggled with this a lot and what helps me is to reposition my body into my normal reading position and time. At night when I read books is the main time I devote to patiently reading and sitting on the couch is where I do this. For the rest of the day I usually work standing up at a desktop computer where I find it is challenging to read through long blog posts like the ones I write. I am making time to read these upvotable posts on the couch at night instead of a book. Would you join me because I am getting more power out of posts on Steemit than from books? Here are the posts that inspired me to share this today!

How did we create the list above?

In every upvotable we collaborate in the comments to make a list of the best reads which are usually from newer posts not on the trending page. Upvotable #15 comments were our source for these posts here after review for quality by @aarellanes. Albert creates a draft of the posts which I then use to read the posts, make comments, upvote, edit, and publish here!

Would you make comments here with the posts you would like to see in upvotable #16 here because you will get a 10 SBD finder's fee for sharing a post written by another author that we share? 30 SBD were earned by curators submitting posts successfully today!

Love,
Jerry Banfield

Thank you both for continuing to bring up these posts @aarellanes and @jerrybanfield!

And I feel greatly honored by being included in this list.

I notice I have ben renamed to warjam, and I cannot help thinking my name is being read as "war"-"jar", today "war"-"jam" by native english speakers.

It's actually not a reference to the english words, but got its origin from the old nordic - from the time of the vikings.

Regardless; "warjar", "war jar" or "war jam", I'm happy all the same ;)



Regarding my post, I overlooked a factor affecting the "interest" rate. I gathered some new data to calculate my new theory and verified the new results with an direct observation. You can find the corrections, included an updated values, in this post:

STEEM #1 Dilution of STEEM & How to Break Even (INTEREST RATE CORRECTION)

(Upvoted to give my appoloy of making a mistake,and offer a correction. The topic seem to awake interest in quite a few people)

HAHAHA My Bad @Warjar!!!!!!! Tad embarrassing on my part!

Thank you @warjar!

Albert would you add this to the posts for upvotable 17 please?

Sry for posting here bro just helping myself and others😃

87 cents for a comment! I would like to see reddit users face when they see their first $1 comments, its a concept that will attract millions oif people JUST opff this alone! JUST the ideaof being oaid to comment is ENOUGH to attract a million users if we show the right people! I bet if you showed steemit to every kid in every school in north america every child would LOVE to use a homework submission system where they coudl earn MONEY real MONEY not some stupid grdes....why cant we reward kids with money for school using DPOS educational blockchain like steemit? people could invest directly in their children by buying steem!

Hi im new here. If you dont mind please follow me. Of course I will follow you back

Funny thing, I saw this post yesterday!

Thanks for the reading list!

Thank you for commenting :D

Incredible work you're doing Jerry on so many fronts. You're a great ambassador for Steemit. If we could now get Steemit on all the exchanges I think eventually the price will go to the moon. Have a great night brother!

You're right @orionschariot I think it will happen soon!

I agree, I get filled with a sense of delight when I think of it

Some day steem will be on every exchange! Just need the day when you can buy steem with fiat!

Choco Mint Tea is the best!

Ill have to look for that!

Thank you @jerrybanfield sir. I am glad that my thoughts are worth sharing and people are taking interest in my work. I am thankful to @aarellanes for giving an importance to this idea of mine .

Now, if you give me an opportunity, I want to make a great submission. It is a knowledgeable post by @dmalaver. He is still a minnow and working hard to spread his thoughts over the steemit society. I love his way of approaching things. Give this article a look, it;s about the importance of brainstorming and how it affects our lives.
