Hello Steem Blockchain!
I was reading a post made by 
I looked it up on http://steemd.com and was shocked that it was my 1 year anniversary today (June 15, 2018). What a coincidence!
The platform has changed so much over the months and it has really become a place that I have carved my own spot in. Initially, I didn't really like this platform because it was really spammy and nobody cared about my content, but over time I really started to make some genuine friends here!
What's more is that DTube finally works in China without a VPN! And to be honest, it works pretty well. I was amazed to see videos load up quickly and play without buffering. This change has been very recent. Just one month ago the videos were unwatchable because they wouldn't load. When I used a VPN, they would load very slowly to point of being unwatchable.
Now I can watch a 480p video quite easily and even had success watching Source quality videos almost seamlessly. Great job Dtube!
I'd like to dedicate this post to all the people that have read, watched, upvoted, commented, shared, etc. my content on this platform. Thank you so much.
I'd like to give special shoutouts to my MVP's of the Steem blockchain. So without further ado, let's get into it! I also shout all of these people out in my DTube video so you can check that out!
1. DTube - 
DTube has changed my life for the better. I am happy to see that my videos are well received on this platform because they consistently get recognition by DTube curators. The upvotes I get from DTube allow me to get way more exposure and assist me in traveling in China so I can make some awesome videos for you all to see.
2. Curie - 
When I first got onto the Steem blockchain, I was only posting blogs. Initially, my posts weren't making much money but then I decided to put more effort into my posts and make sure I had plenty of high quality images to go with the text.
I remember posting a video about the end of the Great Wall of China and seeing my post worth about $70. I was completely shocked because I had never expected my posts would ever get that much money on Steemit. I never even heard of curie at that time so I was very thankful for their upvote. Since then, they have also upvoted numerous other posts that I made. An awesome curation team!
3. Johnny aka. Rules for Rebels -
Johnny was that guy that got me into cryptocurrencies and Steemit through his YouTube videos. Prior to him, I only faintly knew about crypto and absolutely nothing about Steemit.
He's a good guy and is really helpful. His account is mainly about entrepreneurship and I am glad that he actively follows me on here. He frequently leaves high quality comments on my posts and is just an overall solid dude.
4. Brian Phobos - 
He's one of the OGs of this platform. I learned about him from
5. One Love DTube & SteEmpowerment - 
& 
These are great curation trails that help form a greater sense of community within the Steem blockchain. I have met great people like Vince Revolution aka 
6. AmritaDeva - 
I had previously watched her videos on YouTube with her husband about a spiritual guru known as Paramahamsa Nithyananda. To be honest, I don't even remember how I found you on here. I think I was browsing different posts and saw your introductory post but I am glad I got to meet you on here. You are one of my loyal followers and I really enjoy reading your blog posts as well. You post really great blogs about the Netherlands and health. I really appreciate your comments and upvotes. It is always nice to chat with you on here.
7. S.J. - 
It's great to meet someone that also lives in China. You are all the way out in Shanghai while I am up north. I genuinely appreciate your comments on my posts and it is nice to see someone that understands what I am going through in this country lol. It seems we have very similar experiences in China and you even post cool videos of your bikes rides around Shanghai!
8. Oscar Zambrano - 
You frequently comment on my posts and I really appreciate it. I know English isn't your first language but you do a great job of trying anyway. I appreciate the comments you make on my posts and like reading what you have to say.
9. Donica - 
A great Chinese travel blogger. You've traveled quite a bit and I am jealous of that lol. It's nice to meet some Chinese people on this platform and it seems like we have switched places. I am a Western person living in China and you are a Chinese person living in the West.
Your photos rock and I appreciate your comments and upvotes on my posts.
10. Me dicen el Chistoso - 
Thank you so much for your comments on my videos. I appreciate the consistency. I will have to visit Venezuela one day!
11. Andrew aka. Life in China - 
Another cool China vlogger. Prior to seeing him on this platform, I think I was the only one making videos on DTube educating people about China. Glad to see some other people doing the same thing. Great videos man!
12. China World Expat - 
I met Marcus, aka the China World Expat on YouTube. Both of us have our own style in making videos about China. I posted a video about Steemit on my YouTube channel and he became interested in this platform. Since then he has posted numerous blog posts and photos of his experiences in China.
I appreciate your comments, resteems and upvotes brother!
13. Shine - 
Nice to interact with some Chinese speaking accounts on Steem. I appreciate the comments you leave on my videos
14. Byron D Allen - 
Thank you for commenting on many of my posts. Glad I could help you learn more about China and answer the questions you had about this country.
Well folks, that pretty much sums up this post. I am sorry if your name wasn't included in my shoutouts but I really want to thank each and every one of you that reads, watches, upvotes, comments, resteems, etc. I appreciate the real comments. I appreciate the people that actually care about what I have to show. I am fortunate that I don't have so much spam in my posts like before. I think it comes down to flagging people that spam and also actually caring about the people that leave good comments.
Thank you for reading & watching!
