With Bitcoin Prices at an all time High of around $3400 a piece,
I am wondering is it too late to enter into Bitcoin?
I also read that Bitcoin Mining was possible via Computer Graphics Cards Earlier.
Wow, That would have been nice. Mine some Bitcoins :)
I was living under a Rock
I read many articles on Bitcoin that began with this line "Unless you live under a Rock, you would have heard about Bitcoin."
So, yes.. I had been living under a rock for about 7 years.
Bitcoin came into existence in 2009, right after the Financial Crisis of 2008.
Now, here comes The Role of Steemit and I will tell you how I stumbled upon Steemit and via it Bitcoin.
I have been an active Social Media User for a Long Time now. I have many viral accounts with thousands of Followers on it.
I am a Minimalist Photographer and I had been posting Minimalist Photography on those accounts for the past many years.
I was getting all the engagement aka the Likes and Comments but hardly any tie-ups or Sales.
So, I decided to Google about how to do Paid Posts or Ad Campaigns on Social Media Accounts.
I signed up on Various Such platforms and did make a few bucks via them.
But the Money was negligible. Then I became very active on my Blog and started using Google Adsense on it. So Google now Advertised on my Blog and Still the earning were like upto $5 a month and that was giving me bounce rate as well.
So I turned off Google Ads, instead I placed Ads of my own Photographs that I sell via my FineartAmerica Account.
**After years of push based advertising for my work I realized , something is a miss.
I knew that the amount of time I spend on these social media accounts must be worth hundreds of Dollars.
I saw Instagram showing ads after every third post and of course Facebook too.
They were making all the money and I was simply getting engagement and barely any sales.
So I shut down a few of my accounts realizing that it wasn't worth the effort.
But I kept searching online via google, for I knew there must be a way to monetize the content I produce, as I know that in Internet, Traffic = Money
Finally, one day I stumbled upon Steemit.
Now, all I need to do is Make a Post and Get rewarded.
I don't even need to SELL anything here.
And I am not working for other Social Media Companies. I am working for myself.
The effort I put in on Steemit gets converted into Reward.
After, my first couple of Months on Steemit, I learned about Cryptocurrecies and BITCOIN.
and Now, I realize Bitcoin is nothing but a Universal Decentralized Bank.
and I want to own some Bitcoins.
But hey.. they are too Expensive.
I also learned that Bitcoin could be the worldwide primary currency of the Future(according to some online reports)
After learning that, I am even more interested in Bitcoin.
In the End
I would like to Thank Steemit for the Rewards and to Introduce me to the Crypto World and indirectly helping me letting know about Bitcoin
But I just wish "Someone Told me About Bitcoin Earlier" so I could have got in at a lower price.
Thank you for reading thus far.
Have a Nice Day !
PS: I am not a writer.. just a Minimalist Photographer.. Please excuse me for writing errors. I just wanted to express my self and so I did.
