Ups and downs,downs and ups what is next? Steem has been all over the place more down than up lately I know and your guess is as good as mine what is next. Nothing would surprise me if it halved again or doubled by the end of this month. I must admit I am not paying too much attention to it as I am rather small at the moment. If I had 100 000 Steem like some of you I would probably be a little less cheerful right now and can understand that your roller coaster is on a different track to mine. I don't like roller coasters personally but this one is fun.
My sole focus and aim is to grow and catch all you bastards ahead of me. I know the wave of new people is around the corner and I have to grow before they arrive. If they don't arrive soon then I am still in a good place as I would have given myself an additional boost.
When I first started it took 45 days to get to 15 SP and now I can achieve that in 5 days or so. I have no real expectations anymore and just going with the flow. I am literally spending 8 hours or more on here everyday playing catch up to all of you ahead of me. Some will be easier to catch than others but at least I have a carrot in front of me and a wave of new people coming behind me (not yet). That is how I am keeping focused and just want to be big enough to help others and make a difference.
Making a difference is what this place is all about, yes there are rewards but it is more than that. Being able to help someone is surely rewarding in it's own way as well. I have always been the person to help someone struggling or broken down on the side of the road, it's in my nature and I have met so many like minded people here. Yes there are circle jerks here but you will find them in every community.
This was meant to just be a quick post but never seems to be quick anymore as more thought goes into everything it seems. hang on as the ride may get even more crazy as I just heard $10 billion was pumped into crypto just today.
