RE: Vlog 232: Steempower or the value you add to the blockchain is your mining tool.
exyle, your posts are so poignant and perfectly timed for this newbie!!!!! in fact, i just doubled down on my steem and powered UP....so i can "mine" more efficiently! my first post of my 10 year old food forest garden coming soon and many after that. learning so dang much from just curating and re steeming others work for now. very used to the process of building an audience. we've been posting on YT since 2008 and i've shared to all my other social networks about steem and steemit....and dozens of my friends are waiting to be approved. over two weeks now!!! they are patiently and excitedly awaiting the opportunity to start mining and investing also. if steem keeps dropping in price, i'm going to just keep buying more...and powering UP! please keep it coming exyle! you are an anchor in these shifting times!
Wow over two weeks!? I had no idea the sign ups were taking so long
yes...it's crazy...but perhaps a good sign of growth! this account i signed up with "rawutah" took about 2 weeks also. exyle nailed it...IMO. so many people are coming over from YT....and will be mining here soon! i enjoyed watching the explanation about the account approval wait time....... at the 8:20 mark of this video. https://steemit.com/steemit/@ruwan/i-filmed-this-video-of-ned-pkattera-and-sneak-talking-about-the-smts-and-the-future-of-steemit
Yes I saw that video and enjoyed watching it. It's interesting to hear that there's been such an explosion in new users wanting to join recently but it's a shame they are having to wait so long to be approved...still, it's a good problem to have.
i hear you about the let down....to new users waiting for approval. i've continued to post videos like the one above...and many of exyle's posts...to my social pages...to update as many people as i can. it's creating a fervor....but how to retain users once here...is another story. i've had quite the learning curve so far....but i'm enjoying it! so grateful for those posting/mining... about it all. please keep it coming exyle and steemians!!! you all INSPIRE!
@adamkokesh just posted this on youtube...and soon here on steemit i'm sure. more YouTubers head this way! way to bring it adam!!!!!
I hope Alex joins! I don't particularly like him but he has a huge audience and generates a lot of funny memes!
