Welcome Steemit Friends. It has been my opinion that Steemit needs advertising in order to survive.

Since No One Else That Is A Software Wants To Do This, I Guess It Is Up To Me

I see that Steemit is a great place and I truly want it to succeed. I want Steemit to last forever.

Why? I see that so many people's posts are so awesome. I am not talking about cryptocurrency news, though that is important, I am talking about things written, cooking recipes shared, travel stories and photos, stories that talk about family, and so much more.

I have surpassed a thousand followers and it is far past that. So, among Steemians I am blessed perhaps and thankful for that from all of you.

The problem I see is this - eventually the money in fiat currencies runs out and Steem starts to drop, like we are seeing now. Someone else must come in and buy Steem.

Meanwhile and I have read the reasons why there should be no advertisements, like there are on every other internet medium and at the same time say - Steemit is a place where the author is only paid for a limited time but that does not mean that people do not read posts long into the future.

It does not mean that our poets, our writers, our historians, our announcers and creators of technological advancements, and our people who investigate nastiness in the world and expose it will not have someone read their posts for centuries to come.

What if a person posts something on Steemit and over time they have 100,000 no 200,000 no MILLIONS of people who view their post?

This will happen and an author should be rewarded for that. Steemit itself should be rewarded for that. It costs money to display posts forever. You never know, someone might post something that is so valuable to humanity that it is like Shakespeare in whatever field or topic they post on. You never know, somebody might post something with as much lure as J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter.

What should occur when that happens? Should Steemit continue to serve it for free? Can Steemit do it?

Create some advertising spaces where both Steemit and the author receive for the advertising and VOILA!

It will take me awhile to do this. I am more than rusty but that has never stopped me in the past. It will be a separate place like Busy.org or ChainBB but I will do it if no one else will.

I will still post to earn Steem like everyone else. I will still write my stories, poems, books, and so on.

Maybe I will take a different direction - maybe I will build an app where you can add your post after it is on Steemit and see if there is any interest in it. I do know that things that are written take time before people begin to appreciate what is there before word spreads before the intellectuals in the various humanities or scientific communities begin to grasp a hold of what is written or posted such as the lead acid battery. It was invented without any reward for the inventor in the 1850's or so.

No one knows how many lead acid battery inventors there are on Steemit and what will become of their inventions be it prose, story, book, or the cataloguing of some historical event of some country.

In other words and I have seen someone try to make something like Amazon for the publishing of books, we can do better.

Thanks for following me and I will do better as a thank you!

Why? I have posted content on Steemit that is true and it embarasses the hell out of someone caught with their pants down and so have other people. We caught someone in power and we proved it in an environment that has no censorship and which cannot easily be destroyed.

Why stick with a cryptocurrency or secure internet token like Steem or Steem Dollars? I have investigated that Steem is largely feeless whereas others can cost a fortune to micropay. This is an important feature of Steemit that cannot be lost and must be used to the best benefit of the author and the audience, the Steemit Corporation and those who do the Witnessing.

Again Thanks, It will take awhile but once I start going....

Thanks all my Steemit friends and voters:
