Every day I thank God for what He has done in my life through this platform. Steemit has helped me to realize just how valuable my time is. It has encouraged me to move forward on businesses while funding them throughout the process. I am now diversified heavily into physical assets used to support my future businesses. There are only a couple of items left I need to purchase. A reverse osmosis system for making maple and birch syrup, 3D Filament Extruder for plastic recycling, land and homesteading equipment and infrastructure. This is just part of my seed collection for the farm that @Arisa and I are going to build! Much of them bought with Steem Backed Dollars.
For now I am living comfortably, it is difficult to invest when you have no other income. But now is the time I start powering up on Steemit! Every post of mine for the next 6 months or year is going to be a 100% Power Up Post. We are close to the bottom in market cap now. But we are growing strong like a baby Carolina Reaper plant.
The first of the 13 week power downs are done. The great news here is even though Steem has a low price currently, many of us responsible Steemians have cashed out and invested 10s of thousands of dollars into infrastructure for this platform. I actually have about 40 great posts waiting to be uploaded.
We have secured domains and spent hundreds of hours securing accounts for community projects. My friends @UBG, @Applecrisp and I are still working hard to bring Steemit the latest and greatest Blockchain Gaming Technology with our upcoming release of Steemrunner Interactive RPG and the Steemcoin Arcade. Even though I am not a witness I will still do my best to increase the value of this platform through my wildly unique projects and exclusive content.
With hardfork 17 coming up we have some exciting new changes! Let's face it, a lot of people lost money buying the peak on Steem. Some even bought Steem Backed Dollars for 5 dollars on Poloniex. We can now benefit from these massive rekts by BUYING and HODLING cheap Steem. Although the Steemit team does not seem to be overly concerned with the front-end we know that @Dan and @Ned are capable of anything. We need to pray for and encourage our glorious leaders and show them we cherish this platform by pushing forward when the price is down. I hope all of you too reach a point where you are financially secure enough to be able to invest in your future by POWERING UP on Steemit!
