Hello Friends,
This is literally one of the first time I'm getting in on something this awesome at a very good time. Let me start by telling you my story with Bitcoin.
I heard about BTC when it was still around $400 apiece in early 2016. I even got some based on the platform I was in then. It later turned out it was a massive ponzi scheme that drained me of all my resources. (Thinking back now, I realize I never should have put my money in ponzi schemes...but that's a story for another day).
Anyhooo! The bottomline is that the ponzi experience turned me off from BTC and all its merits. I ignored it and continued my life...while my cryptodreams wasted. Hmmm! Fast-forward to early this year, I heard about the price of BTC again - $ 1000. I bit my fingers and wished I had gotten some a few months back. I didn't even know that the main hike was on the way. Now price of BTC is $17k. Hmmm!
So after...MY MONEY LOST. MY LIFE PAUSED. MY DREAMS CRASHED. MY TIME SLOWED DOWN!
You know what they say about hitting rock bottom; I had no where to go but up. SOmewhere along the line mid-year 2017, I started learning how to crypto-trade. "Buy low; sell high" sounds very simple but its application can be the most difficult thing you have ever experienced. It was the research on how to properly trade crypto without losses that lead me up the pathway to success.
ZOOOOM! I got to STEEMIT platform!! The Storm Is Over!!!
After seeing tons and tons of articles about crypto-trading all hosted on the STeemit platform written by amiable STeemians (I didn't know they had a special name as of then). I saw the $$$ below the articles and my eyes popped (NO JOKES). Lolx. The rest they say is history because I registered immediately. I felt anxious because I had to wait for upto 9days (I think) before my account was finally approved.
Woohoo! I GOT IN BEFORE THE PRICE HIKE!
Some of you may know why I'm dancing... and some uninitiated ones may not. Either way,I'm happy I got into something this valuable early enough. I'm even happier because NOONE INVITED ME ( well except the universe). I came here by myself lest someone will say "I MADE YOU". SMH! You made nada! Only God Made Me.
The price hike is not the only thing making me happy but the fact that I'm beginning to have that good feeling that preceeds success. I had that feeling whenever I aced my exams back then in medical school. I had that feeling whenever I was about getting paid for a job well-done...now I'm having that feeling right here on this steem blockchain. Don't look at the $1 or $2 SBD payout on my posts; that would be myopic. Look at the future. Think of my future (and yours too).
I LOVE STEEMIT.
That should go without saying... I LOVE STEEMIANS EVEN MORE. That shows in my actions each and everyday of my existence on this platform. I have supported people as much as I can via my #TurorialSeries, my #OpenSourceInfoSeries, my #DearMminnow article series, my #Hug-Challenge and most recently; my #AIR-CLINIC project (together with MY WONDERFUL TEAM).
I may not be able to give you 1000SBD right now. But I'll certainly provide you with 1Bazzilion Love-SBDs that will eventually make you psychologically rich immediately and physically rich in due time. I'll tell you what Peter told the cripple man at the Beautiful Gate "silver & gold I do not have but what I have I will give".
SO YOU SEE WHY I FEEL LUCKY?
When I'm counting my blessings, I do not see the extent of it all because its uncountable.
So start counting your own blessings too. What are you grateful for?
Kudos to 
and 
for teaching us all how to be "thankful" for everything.
Cheers Guys!
I remain me, my mouth & eyes 
aka SteemDaddy. My aim is to leave you better than I find you everyday.
