There are many reasons why I am so excited and also grateful if you will that I am part of the Steem family. But if I had to choose the main reason I feel excited that would be because Steem has been an eye opener for me.
I was educated.
Before STEEM and I crossed roads, I had no idea that there was this parallel universe, the crypto universe. Terms such as decentralization, I mean the deep meaning of the word, was something like a utopia to me. Ordinary people like you and I can do very little to change what monarchs / governments / banks...have been building for decades if not centuries.
How could I fight them in the first place? With my bear fists? They are holding machine guns and they make sure that any attempt that could set their plan in danger will have an exemplary death...
Still wondering why I feel grateful for being here?
Consuming content on a daily basis made me realize that everything is possible. And Steem was my gateway to the whole crypto world. I won't pretend to be the cool guy who knew everything right from the beginning.
The truth is I knew shit...and if it wasn't for Steem I would have probably had the same mindset with all those people who are unaware of what STEEM...or BTC...and crypto in general is. Some of them like to call cryptos a scam, when in reality they haven't read a single article on the web...
Superstition prevails wherever ignorance prevails.
So this life changing experience through Steem has turned a sheep into a wolf. Yeah...And I assume that the same goes for many of you too. It's OK...just admit it. It turned a doubter into a believer...
I am not talking about the success of STEEM here...but for the benefits we will all enjoy if cryptos resist to die. BTC isn't an enemy...EOS isn't an enemy either...ETH? NO...not even close...
We will either succeed all together or die all together. Period.
We don't have to compete LTC or TRON or anyone in this regard. They are not the enemy, and each of these projects have something to offer in the following years. We will get to a point of course where price will be reflected according to their development and growth, so stop whining about the prices and focus on other things.
The real enemy is the one cryptos are trying to get rid of...
Exactly because I am a believer I am trying desperately to drag into the crypto world friends and family. I am miserably failing till now. I am trying to show them that there is an alternative...that things CAN change and that through that change they can also enjoy great profits. I am trying to educate them the very same I was educated in here through others' posts.
When you know that something good is about to happen, even if it might take a decade, you want the people close to you to be part of this. For their own good...I have nothing to gain if my cousin makes a fortune just because he decided to invest in...STEEM or BTC or whatever coin that eventually skyrocketed...
There are no referrals here...
- Do I think that all projects out there are valuable?
Of course not...probably not even half of them...
- Do I think that STEEM is among the ones that will survive?
FUCK yeah...Not only it will survive, it will shine like a bright star.
Mark my words...
There will be a day where people will fight over a single STEEM token. So consider yourselves lucky for being here so early and treat every single STEEM token you earn with respect.
Food for thought...
Have a great one people.
Cheers.
