Call me "naive" but I have high hopes for #STEEM and #steemit.
Just be to honest. I AM HERE FOR THE MONEY I WAS "PROMISED" TO GET WHEN I SIGN UP. That's the HARD REALITY. And just like any other venture in business and in life, YOU HAVE TO WORK FOR YOUR SUCCESS.
But I try to look way past THE PROMISED WEALTH. This is where reality sits in. And it sits beside you like a devil that it is, whispering you WON'T make it way past $7 SD. So better be ready to deal with reality and do something about it.
So, IF NOT FOR THE MONEY, WHAT IS STEEMIT GOOD FOR? You know I love to have a list. So here's my list why STEEMIT is still a BETTER deal BEYOND the PROMISED WEALTH:
- I LOVE THE CHALLENGE of writing. Writing quality contents 4 times a day is a challenge, at least for me. But I know it's for my benefit. Not for anybody else. For ME. You might want to read http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifestyle/benefits-writing-why-you-should-write-all-the-time.html and see my point.
- I GET TO MEET BEAUTIFUL AND SMART PEOPLE. And people whom I can mentor (as I need mentoring myself) to share whatever help I can. Helping others and being appreciated is a lasting reward no STEEM DOLLARS can match.
- GIVES A WHOLE NEW MEANING TO MY LIFE. I have mined Bitcoin and LiteCoin for a while but as time went by the difficulty of mining made it so much harder to maintain. With STEEM, an emerging crypto-currency where you can "mine" by creating quality content, is a new opportunity that I don't want to pass up. No way! I may not be good at writing but I can definitely learn.
- I CAN GO BACK TO MY CODING. And for those who are not into coding, maybe it's time for you to learn a few things here and there. Piston, Phyton, JavaScript, CSS, RubyRails, DJango, and so much more. Educate yourself!
- I HAVE A STAND ON SOMETHING. Advocacy is a powerful thing. It gives purpose why we continue to live and not just exist in this world. Advocacy gives hope not only to others but to yourself.
Call me "naive", but this is how I see it past all the rewards. And if I ever get $20K out of this post, WHY NOT?
IF NOT, LIFE GOES ON. I will keep on doing what I always do since Day 1 in STEEMIT. And whether I get $0.01 or $10,000 for my post, there are some things more valuable beyond STEEM DOLLARS. And they are more lasting than any WEALTH can offer.
Go, STEEMIN' AWAY!
