No matter what action you decide to partake here on steemit. The blockchain rewards your every move. So just dive right in and sign up! I'm sure Mr. Crabs would! Where's meeeee MONEY!!!
Just want to upvote? Ok here's some steem. Just want to comment? Ok here's some steem. Just want to invest in steem power? Ok here's some steem through steem power interest.
But Rico, I don't want to do any of that! Well, the least you could do for yourself is invest in steem and become friends with time. Before you know it you'll be sitting on a decent amount of cash.
The value of steem will appreciate over time as more and more users join and hold steem. For this particular post I selected 100% steem power option because I am in it for the long run. It also helps steem's price remain stable.
Snowball effect applies here: more users, more steem released, more steem released less and less amounts of steem in circulation. Therefore steem price will naturally increases in value, especially if people hold in steem power. My bet is they will since holding steem power increases influence and having influence is a beautiful thing! It's MAGIC!
Why steem power is MAGIC! Imagine this scenario: Let's say you comment in someone's recent post and that someone has massive influence, they decide to upvote your comment and boom just like magic you have $0.30 just from that upvote alone! In turn you will be more inclined to follow them and upvote their content just because us humans love to give back in one way or another. They gifted you with $0.30! Without them actually having to lose $0.30. The blockchain made that transaction possible because that person holds great influence. Reminds me of the book: How to win friends and influence people.
Here on steemit your network is your networth. Having followers/friends could make you a wealthy individual.
$0.30 is like 20% of 1 steem coin! Who doesn't want $0.30 worth of Steem? Want to test this? Follow or
leave an encouraging, positive comment to any of their most recent post and simply wait. You'll see the power of influence unfold before your eyes, just like MAGIC!
According to Wikipedia as of May of 2017 there are approx. 170,000 Steemit users! That's nothing compared to other social networking websites that provide little to no real value to the majority of us. Some people make money on Facebook, most people make money on Steemit. I have been a Facebook user for 5 years. I have made a whopping $0.00! In other words: zero, nada, zip! I've been on Steemit for about a year now and already it has enhance my life in so many regards. Rich content, monetary rewards, engaging community. That's what a great platform does, it enriches people! Steemit is that platform.
The general population is starting to wake up and see Steemit's potential. They see successful steemians generating decent income on a day to day basis. That will convince many to join. People are motivated by different reasons. Some love sharing ideas, knowledge, personal experiences. Others do it for monetary reasons. Others simply enjoy human interaction. Whatever your motive, steemit is the platform for you.
The current price of steem is in a sense irrelevant to me, what excites me is steem's price in the future! That same $0.30 could be worth $1.00 or $5.00 or potentially MORE!
So Invest in steem and get in your time traveling machine.
Go about your life and enjoy life's simplest pleasures and rest assured, you'll be glad you joined, you'll be glad you invested in this revolutionary, life changing platform.
"Time passes slowly, but moves quickly".
See you in the future, steemy amigos!
NOTE: Never invest what you can't afford to lose. But with Steemit what is there to lose... Potential?
