RE: SMALL TRIBUTE TO ALL THOSE WHO SUPPORTED OUR CRYPTO COMMUNITY GROWTH ON STEEMIT

in #steemit6 years ago

Most posts are strictly informative or full of strong opinions. It's hard to comment such a posts.

That's true, except for others who may have strong opposing opinions; then you can get a good debate going. Although it does tend to discourage those who are too shy to challenge a strong opinion.

Not all posts need to have discussions though. If you have been watching my feed, you would have noticed that I post a weekly place to let others advertise their own posts. It could be considered our own little classified advertising section if enough people began using it as such. It needs to overcome that critical hump where enough people use it to make others want to also use it. Without reaching that hump, nobody wants to post there because there aren't enough OTHERS already there! How can one get over the hump if the few that try it drop off before others find it? If you and your followers all consistently advertised their posts there, that weekly page could potentially become a central place to advertise and we would be creating our own community right there! Unfortunately, it seems everyone wants to be the creator of their own communities and as such, nobody cares to assist anyone else in building anything.

This is true - it is much easier to join the efforts of others more established. All initiatives I have tried like this have failed. This is why I focus on supporting other people who are trying instead of trying to create my own thing to compete. The only time I have success is when I have comment contests and give sbi shares but that is a huge ton of work.

LOL... I'm totally shocked at the number of people that go for SBI. I really don't see what the attraction is. I would way rather have someone vote directly for me than buy me a share of SBI.

It is way past my bed-time, so I better get moving. Whatever part of the world you are in... I wish you a good day/night.

It's the middle of the day in Malaysia.

I am happy for all votes and after winning many shares, sbi is one of my top performers. They are not buying the share for you - they are buying it for both of you.

It's a concept called universal basic income. As an accountant, I am not too much in favor of the theory. As a steemer, I will take as many as I can get.

As a steemer, I will take as many as I can get.

LOL...Me too. I own 9 shares but they pay very little and just once per week. Of course when the value of Steem picks up, those shares will be able to produce a bit more.

Haha! It's all about the pennies here. I think I have close to 200 now, but I hunt them aggressively and also use them as prizes in contests I hold on occasion.

Wow! 200 shares... that's a lot. And I see you are awake. I was expecting you to still be in bed. I just got up a while ago. I guess it must be warm in Malaysia. We have below zero temperatures for the past couple of days here on the west coast of Canada, but I heard that other parts of Canada had something like minus 20! Yesterday we sat at minus 2 which is cold for this area since the ocean provides some warming effect most of the time.

It's hot as can be here. I sleep when I cannot keep working lol.

I grew up partially in Ontario and Chicago, so I know what cold is like and hope I never feel it again. @keithboone is my friend from your neck of the woods. He has some great photos from BC.

Ah, yes... he's in Victoria, on Vancouver Island. I'm on the mainland.
