RE: My application to join the Alliance - a family of steemians

in #alliance6 years ago

I do sneak into these things and listen to the big guys talk. And as you say, good luck getting to me! XD

I do see a lot of slack in the system, and we cannot be sure exactly what people do but it might be a private sale to an investor or something, I suspect we will find out more. What steem needs is for more people to power up, more power users but also more middle users. The system has a lot of steem power to distribute into production before we see a real tightening that could lead to epic levels in price. A lot of this was how the early distribution happened, but lots of people (like papa-pepper) made an incredible success when steem was at 13 cents. It has toyed with 89 cents twice now since I've been on and I'll tell you, I try to take full advantage each time.

As you say, I come here for different reasons and have been incredibly surprised by the technological promise and the money that I have made here. I originally came for the free hosting and great SEO and stuck around for the fun contests and neat community. Now everybody is complaining about not getting paid enough, and its like, 'Is that why you are here? How big was the last check you got from Facebook or Twitter?'

Sort:  

sir ecoinstant--steem at 13 cents! ha! well people are telling me that the situation that we're in now happened almost exactly at this time last year, same price then went up in value pretty quickly.

I still gotta read that article that you resteemed, I'll probably resteem it as well.

The best thing you are doing is to talk to everybody! A wide range of opinions you must be getting right now! After this week I will go back and read your comment feed maybe ;p

what? my comment feed? now that would be very boring indeed. lol. God bless you sir.

God Bless you Jonboy! You are 53 rep now! They come slower now, but you are still making very good progress here.

I just thought I'd see what it is that you talk about. Often I peek in on others I find funny jokes or learn something new.

ok I understand. hey do you know about bull riders? that post I did yesterday has the most stunning photos of cowboys flying through the air!
it should win an award for the photos alone! even though I didn't take them myself but I did find them, that should count for something. lol

Hey where do you go to find such great photos? I mostly take pictures myself because I don't want to be accused of stealing, but it comes with its own challenges. For example I can't write about bull riders.....

what do you mean you can't write about bull riders? all you have to do is go to some rodeos if you want your own photos! lol.
I just put in free photos of bull riders and most of those were from a Wyoming newspaper or the website rodeotimes.

I thought you were calling it in for the night? it's hard to do when you got all those people replying to you isn't it? lol. it's a blast.
