Well yesterday I did stumble on a (for me) new fellow Dutch speaking Steemian, namely 
After having some replies back and forward, I did remember that I did had created a list with all the Belgian Steemians I am following.
Too bad, I did not wrote about it earlier but now it is time!
Why?
Well the reason is simple. We cannot ignore the fact tha only the hardcore Steemians are still here and not only here but still bringing value to the Steem Blockchain.
Lots of our feeds are drying up.
So, it is time to share this list with you. Maybe you do find someone worthy to follow!
Because we all need to support each other. Without support the most of us will get nowhere! It is also nice to read stories of people living close to you. It is easier to react on those stories because lots of time there is a connection with a place you know, a situation you also have experienced before and so on!
I do follow around 140 people here and from 20 of those I do know whom are linked to Belgium of the Netherlands!
The list!
| Belgium | Netherlands |
|---|---|
 |  |
 |  |
 |  |
 |  |

Well I was thinking about to introduce them all and give the reason why I am following, but I will give you a chance to discover this yourself!
How can we support each other?
Well one thinks immediately about upvoting their posts but there is much more what we can do. Let me give you some examples. And this is valid for all Steemians, not only the ones in this list or living in the low countries.
Follow
When you start to follow somebody, this could indirectly increase the value of their posts.
- If the Steemian does use busy.org to post their post, it could mean an increase of the upvotes from busy.org or busy.pay. So indirectly you are supporting them financially!
- If the Steemians did delegate to steem-ua, this could increase their steem-ua ranking, which could mean a little bit bigger upvote from steem-ua.
Comment
Here it becomes really interesting and maybe not known to most!
- It encourages Steemians to keep on posting and be saved from the burn rate. We all appreciate upvotes but we all do find it great if we get a genuine comment. The both combine is heaven on eath!
- When it is an actifit post, the height of the upvote from actific is also based on the engagement on the post. So even leaving a small comment without upvoting the post could result in a higher upvote from actifit.
- The same argument is valid for the steem-ua upvotes.
So people do engage with each other. At the moment, the value of our upvotes almost has returned to “Dust” but even commenting can be beneficial. Remember that if the people who do engage with you accumulate more Steem Power, this will drip down to yourself!
What’s next
Feel free to add the names of Dutch Speaking Steemians. So that our list gets bigger and bigger!
If you are not for the Netherlands or Belgium but still want to be followed by me, feel free to leave a comment. I will check out your blog and if I do find it interesting I will follow you.
If you feel that there are people in the Steem Blockchain which should be followed, also feel free to drop their names in a comment!
The more friends the better!
Cheers,
