There are examples of good and then there are those which show the bad.
Last night I posted about changing out thinking, that Abundance is here. This post is going to detail the opportunity before while pointing out where some change is needed.
The example I am going to use is @actifit. This is a token that is designed to reward people for moving. Initially it was for walking but their most recent update made the app a lot more sensitive. This means any movement is counted.
Before getting into it any further, I wanted to point out scarcity thinking. As I stated on a number of occasions, we are a product of our conditioning. The fact that we are filled with fear of not having enough is beat into us from a young age. This carries on throughout our lives to the point we think our behavior normal.
Here is a post that @mcfarhat was required to post on @actifit's discord channel.
FYI guys, there are some abusers who are trying to post several times within the day to receive more rewards and overcome some of our bot limitations. While we did not want to make a limitation via the app, yet most probably we will implement this coming forward. For the time being, those users who have been caught will be banned for 5 days from receiving any actifit rewards on first attempt, and for life if caught again.
Just another example of some people trying to game the system.
The problem with this is there is absolutely no reason to do it. If one understands the @actifit program, it is a provider of healthy rewards, especially to early adopters.
Before going any further, I will state that I am very impressed by this project. This is a fast moving team and one to watch out for. All Steemians are blessed that this blockchain was chosen to host the application. It is only going to enhance the value of the entire ecosystem.
Since their introduction 3 weeks ago, a great deal of progress was made. There is nothing worse than having an application come out and nothing change for months. @actifit is the exact opposite. Every couple days there is another announcement in the daily post showing the progress being made.
I do not know if that team can keep up the torrid pace but they are off to a great start. Give me a motivated, talented team that is pushing things forward, and that is an application I will embrace.
It does not hurt that I feel @actifit is an Age of Abundance idea.
What is more basic than moving? Most all of us do it. This is a token that is given out to people for doing just that. Essentially your movement is valued.
Also, their current Steemian airdrop is 700K tokens a week. This is about the same amount of STEEM that is in the reward pool. Here we have an application that doubled the number of tokens being distributed on this blockchain. While not likely the same value, it is a way for people, especially newcomers, to amass a nice holding. Remember, at some point, all SMT will be paired with STEEM meaning they can be swapped into that currency if desired.
The current drop has a 1:1 daily delegation reward. This is enormous. Anyone who gives more than 20 SP, will receive an equal amount everyday. That is a nice way to accumulate some tokens that will have value down the road. How much? I have no idea but if it is 5 cents, that is $1 a day for just 20 SP delegation.
Another interesting facet is 5% of total upvotes to the account is paid out in SP to the delegators. It is always nice to have some money show up in your wallet on a weekly basis.
The other day, it was announced that @actifit came to an agreement with a couple of athletes, who coincidentally are on STEEM. This only makes sense because a fitness application needs athletes. The fact they are Steemians means double bonus points.
Here is what @actifit said in the post:
We are excited to welcome to the Actifit family, two amazing athletes already present on steemit who contacted us and shared our enthusiasm to Actifit, and decided to join our mission to grow and increase the visibility of Actifit.
It gives us great pleasure to have @entrepreneur916 and @bunnymoney as our supporting and sponsored athletes.
They will be featuring and promoting Actifit in their training content ... oh and expect seeing some Actifit T-shirts soon :)
Here is @entrepreneur916's announcement post:
As the post mentioned, @actifit joined the Utopian VIPO program. This will enhance the development while also giving them additional upvotes.
Please keep in mind, most of this was accomplished in only 3 weeks. This is a project that is moving forward. In the discord discussion, there are a lot of ideas being bantered about. I am hoping we see an updated map of where they plan on going the next couple months. In chatting with @mcfarhat, he said that a white paper will be forthcoming detailing all the particulars with the token.
Since I do not know the particulars, I went back and looked at the original post when they announced they were going SMT. This is something that caught my attention:
We have further plans on growing the platform to capture and track much more useful data, including cals burned, heart rate, weight, height, age, but also more innovative ways to capture fitness activity including workouts, exercises,...
We are looking into integrating with other APIs which could enhance and expand the experience of tracking fitness data, particularly via other wearables.
The second one really intrigues me. Ponder for a second if this application could integrate with other sites that concentrated upon the same market. I love the potential to expand this project on a much bigger scale. Plus we all know the fitness and nutritional world is a massive market.
Forget all the FUD that is out there. I can tell you there is a ton of talent on this blockchain. These people are motivated to see their creations grow and prosper. This is only a benefit for those who are hodling SP. Any success an application has is a benefit to the entire STEEM ecosystem. This is the beauty of being a Steemian. Everything on the blockchain helps to increase the value.
This is the abundance that is before us. A year from now, instead of a handful of applications being discussed, there will be dozens, if not hundreds. All of these projects will have the opportunity to enrich people on this blockchain.
Lots of good things happening. Hold on, it is going to be a wild ride.

I think we have abundance now but waste a lot if not most of it.
I just installed it! It is an amazing app and a great project. I know many people tracking their daily activity, but not me. So this will encourage me too. Love it!
It is a great concept, hopefully the first of many SMT's to be developed on the STEEM blockchain. Actifit does have a lot of issues for now, but as you said it is only three weeks old and they are putting huge effort into developing it. If they can fix the issues and develop it into a fully functioning health tracker to rival fit-bits or Samsung health it would be amazing.
I can see it gaining a big following and look forward to seeing how far it can get in the next few months.
Actifit is a great app and great project but i still wonder how many tokens will be issued in total and if there will be a % of yearly inflation.
About some people abusing the system it maybe be due to a glitch in the first version of the app because my friend always had trouble submitting to the platform and when she logged in on steemit she saw she had 3-4 posts, but once the new version of the app got out last week she upgraded and this no longer happened. Off course, it can also be people just gaming the system, it will have to be seen case to case and if they are ban them!
Thank you @ninegags, yea it was more of the latter this time unfortunately.
Glad to hear of your positive feedback !
We will have those final numbers announced soon :) We just don't want to rush things and over or under commit.
I understand, its better slow and good than fast and bad ;)
Great article @taskmaster4450
I agree 120% with you and i love this project.
I hope people understand that fitness (powered by some rewards) is necessary for us for a better life.
Thank you for another fantastic review and write up !
Hi, congratz, you are now listed on the Steemians directory (https://www.steemiandir.com/) You can read more about this initiative here: https://steemit.com/steemit/@anonyvoter/new-selections-of-july-19-2018 If you like this project it would be great if you could resteem the post to make more people aware of it.
If you don’t want to be listed just leave me a comment and I will delete your profile from the website. Thank you very much for reading and I’m looking forward to your feedback!
PS: I’m NOT a bot so… I’m really looking forward to your feedback 😊
i would say this post is an example of good marketing for a blockchain project -- it clearly ties the product actifit to the theory of abundance, making the connection very palatable (cue your other post about geeks are geniuses but ...)
** Thanks again you for sharing this wonderful news with others. Good luck to you and Love.**
You never fail to bring valuable info to fellow steemians! The steem blockchain is blatently tiptop and im lucky not to be exposed to any FUD so I can see how cryptos are as the are and the fud dont really have any input 😂 The app is great, and an awesome idea, I did see someone one the leaderboard with 50,000 + steps, and presume this was one of the abusers.. Banning rules implimented,thats great ☺
