RE: I Am An End-User That Wasn't Into Crypto Prior To Steem
This is fascinating. I've never heard of tsu! I came to Steemit because I was already really interested in crypto, so the idea intrigued me.
I'm impressed by the number of social media channels you manage to work on, and it's great that you manage to make a living in this way. Very inspiring! Glad that you succeeded in turning round your financial crisis, and that things improved for your son too.
I've chosen to hodl my Steem while the price is low, but I don't see anything wrong with cashing out. What's the point of earning money from your posts if you can't spend it? I think it's only a bad thing for the community if you're earning it by spamming or plagiarism, or upvoting fake accounts. There's nothing wrong with cashing out money that you've earned.
tsu was such a good place. It lasted about one year. You had to be invited in and then it was like family. You were supposed to make money for your posts, but I never did. There was poor management at that place and then it died overnight.
Thank you for your support about the money side. I was fine when the price was higher due to my cheap lifestyle. But you will find a lot of the attitude here is that we should all be investors.
I take what I need each week and the last two months have needed an urgent call for help at the end of the month. I hope that will not happen again. I have more supporters now and people watching out for me. Next week after I get back from Singapore I will do a post about what I "need" to get through another month. It could easily come through upvotes with the volume I have. I am ever the optimist :)
