I made a post the other day asking people the real reason why they are here. Obviously we are all crypto lovers. But why they chose Steem specifically? You see, Steem is a struggle. It's a daily fight to be noticed and produce something worthy to be upvoted...let alone that price wise things don't look good.
So why? Are you kinda masochist just like my self? You see, him and I often talk to each other and he usually is the best adviser. So after reading carefully all the comments people dropped, I decided to share my view on this question.
When it comes to crypto, I am bullish and obviously invested in 3 big names of the crypto sphere...
BTC
LTC
STEEM
Steem might not be among the contenders fighting for the top 10 spots...but there will be a day where....
...and a couple of small players that you wouldn't even know they exist. But that's just me. Do I need to remind you that this ain't a financial advise and bla bla bla?
So cut to the chase. Why am I here.
Just like myself and I agreed a few moments ago, Steem might look like a highly risk investment at this point (at least to those who have no clue) but it is also the most exciting and fun place to be, especially if you consider yourself an adrenaline hunter. Ok, I might exaggerated a little...or maybe not?
I can't really think of another mineable project that is also far from being boring and at the same time community driven. If you do know another one plz let me know.
And when you have to do with people, with real people, you always have fun at the end of the day. Don't tell me that your blood isn't racing the moment you hit the "upload" button when your post is ready. Mine is definitely racing to be honest with you all.
And then they anxiety..
"What will people think of my post?"
"Was it good enough to attract a few followers and expand my network?" or...
"Ha, I fooled them all...suckerzzz" --> most likely you will end up receiving a big downvote and your rewards will be grand zero, let alone that your reputation is in dander too...
Don't you have fun when you see abusers and plagiarists crawl back to their caves?
Don't you have fun when you come across great and also funny publications at the same time as you curate?
Don't you also have fun when people drop meaningful yet funny comments here and there?
Don't you feel great satisfaction when your work is rewarded?
Where's the fun in holding BTC?
I mean someday and just because it is the battle ram of all crypto, it will be the main reason that crypto have changed the global economy. But there is no fun at all till we get there.
Steem is the perfect place to be. Period. You might be here subconsciously and Steem be a part of your daily routine, but trust me, reasons like socialization...fun...alternative form of mining are what you were looking for in the first place.
I bet there were countless times where you turned off your pc and went to bed with a big smile on your face, just because of the great time you spent on Steem. What? NO?
Bottom line is...you can find everything in Steem. Education.. entertainment...fun...rewards...
Definitely the perfect place to be if you decide to get involved with crypto currencies...
Have a great one people!
Cheers.
