Has anyone noticed that overall attitude around here improved a little bit over the past few days?
A week or so ago, it seemed that I was nuts talking about how wonderful this blockchain is and how STEEM will be $100 by the end of 2018. A month ago, I was buying STEEM for $.85...now it is more than double that. And Steem Dollars...who ever saw that coming?
As one of the Uber-bulls on here, I do not need price action to validate what I see. This blockchain has the potential to be one of the more powerful and commonly used ones. We all know how big the content creation world is. Most of what is already on the Internet is eligible to be moved to the steem blockchain.
That said, let's set the recent run aside for a second. This is a great time to bring up a point that I was trying to make the past month. Since everyone is giddy since your accounts are going up in value, it is the ideal time to bring it up.
THERE IS NO REASON TO BE GREEDY!!!!!
Over the last few weeks I wrote these articles:
There will be incredible wealth generated off STEEM. This is going to make a lot of people wealthy. I know money is not everything. However, the reason I keep going back to this well is money is a pathway to freedom. Under the banker controlled fiat system, we are all enslaved. As the steem blockchain grows, the value of STEEM will appreciate setting hundreds of thousands, possibly millions, of people free. There really is that much potential.
They key is we all need to remember to work together. There are many who come on here who do not have the ability to power up. They have to take it step-by-step. These are the people who need our help. One of the reasons I proposed the idea of the 1KSP program is because I saw the value of STEEM. Getting people to 1,000 SP is life changing. To me, I see 1,000 SP as $100,000 since there is a minimum where I believe we will see the price of STEEM.
Greed is what the bankers specialize in. Why do people come on here and behave in the same manner? If you are here to get as much as you can for yourself, well, quite simply, you are the enemy. Your mindset is that of someone who enslaves others. Scarcity is an elitist created notion meant to keep people fighting over scraps. That is not STEEM. We came to this blockchain, actually crypto in general, because we rebelled against the banker run world. Each of us, deep down, knows how devastating it is to humanity. Bankers take, they do not give.
So why do people who point out how broken the system is and corrupt the leaders are behave in the same manner? When are you going to realize that this is a different environment. Nobody is limiting the amount of STEEM any person can have. However, there is no reason for each of us not to help others get as much STEEM as they can. Helping someone else out does not cost you. There is not one STEEM that is removed from your wallet unless you choose to. If you want STEEM to grow, thus enriching yourself, do your part.
The developers are hard at work on this blockchain. That is not new. Even when the price was 85 cents they were pounding away at code creating and solving. This recent run is nice and we will see if it continues. Whether it does or does not in the short-term really matters none. STEEM will explode. Presently, I believe we are starting to see what happens when Wall Street enters a market. The total marketcap went from $250B on Thanksgiving to $430B in only a couple weeks. That is a huge sum of money and Wall Street is the only entity I know that can raise that much. And it is just the beginning. We are going to see this throughout 2018.
We all feel good about the recent run in STEEM. Because of that, each of us needs to get busy. Find someone with 25 SP and help that person get to 50 SP. Visit the blogs of some newer people and give them an upvote at a high percentage. Adopt someone like I did with the 1KSP program and give him or her a couple 100% upvotes a day until 1000 SP is reached. Start commenting on posts that have no activity in an effort to get others posts more exposure.
A month ago a post that was worth 20 cents is now close to 50 cents. By St Patrick's Day, we could see that being $5.00. Remember the explosive growth potential in the cryptocurrency world. STEEM is well positioned to experience life changing growth.
Let us all be the opposite of bankers and do what we can to enrich as many people as we can. My belief is that everyone who comes onto this site can be wealthy. A $25B blockchain is a bare minimum for what is already taking place.
One final thought: If you do find a whale who is out there doing what he or she can to help others, make sure you mention it. There is such a biased, unfair in my opinion, against people who joined early, that needs eliminating. For every whale who is a bad apple, there are 10 who are looking to help others and make this place grow. It is up to use to point this out to people.
If you found this article to be helpful and informative, please give it an upvote and re-steem it.
