SteemIt has been an interesting experiment for the last year. A Blockchain based on simple interaction that works as a rudimentary social network for a new generation of Digital Avatars.
I was prodded to setup and manage an account on SteemIt if for no other reason than to establish some future digital real estate. The idea being that an account would actually "GROW" in value due to the rising worth of the Cryptocurrency Markets. To NOT setup and establish a SteemIt account could actually mean missing out on this growing worth. And with an account value of over $2000 today, it would appear that this was a great course of action.
At the time of setting up my SteemIt account, late December 2016, I was struggling with a severe Health Disability and did not have the capacity to do much else with my time other than to work on my quality of life. This meant that I had very little time to really delve into this platform. I have been out of the Professional WorkSpace since 2014 and the Contract Work that I could do occasionally was far too difficult and taxing to justify continuing. I was very active and "successful" on LinkedIn from 2014-2017, using it as a sort of Work Flow control center where I could communicate with individuals for work and record all my important communiques with agencies.
With Health being a major factor in my capacity to do effective work, I have been somewhat on hiatus from any BUSYness as I continue to get my quality of life back in order. In addition to this, I had a very negative reaction to LinkedIn being purchased by Microsoft for over $26 Billion Dollars and going through a complete revamp in early 2017. Because of the overhaul, one morning I spontaneously deleted my LinkedIn and went all in on SteemIt. This was possibly the BEST treatment for my condition to date, for many reasons.
Since leaving LinkedIn and focusing on my own health I have achieved quite a bit more personal satisfaction with my health, my time, and the product of my time. What has started as an experiment in social networking has transformed into a much more satisfying daily work flow. I could go on but instead I'll stop here and share a few interesting posts that I have bookmarked.
Kind regards.
