Leave it to me to instinctively choose the exact moment when not just Steem but cryptocurrency at large decides to fall off a cliff to voraciously triple down on my efforts to establish a foothold among the tumbling rubble. Despite that, I consider my experiment a success...even though I’m not thrilled with the results or conclusions. I’ve gleaned clarity and that’s always a success.
So what did I accomplish?
- I followed through and stuck to my overarching plan, albeit with some revisions
- I made some wonderful connections and discovered some talented people
What did I learn?
- I discovered that many of my illusions about Steemit were bordering on delusions
- I realized that if I want to succeed here, I’ll need to play the game as it is, not as I idealistically wish it to be
- I accepted that Steemit is a longterm investment; I cannot view it otherwise and succeed
Now I need to ruminate over all of this and decide what I’m willing to do and where I want to focus my time and energy.
