@simplymike is a great choice, Was that through a contest? I think she is also sponsoring the RedFish league put on by @paulag, so I need to say thank you as well..
I was in the top 10 on there a couple times. It's a great initiative and was pushing me, I just don't think mathematically I can make the #1 spot, I would literally have to increase by at least 85,000 steem to hit it. Which is a little demotivating, but as Dory would say "just keep swimming"
I did almost fall over when I saw my open mic entry was over $10. that should help with the redfish and was rather motivating.
Yes it was a contest the funny thing is I passed up her contest when I first arrived here. At the time I wasn't sure if I wanted to commit to Steemit. Then the same contest rolled around and I was all in.
She is all over the place doing good deeds and helping out the little fish. Has been ever since I arrived here. There are a few people like that. They literally keep the platform alive. But thats another story.
Congratulations!! I just went to check out your open mic. That is fantastic. maybe do more music?
I am a huge fan of Paulag and am in the redfish leagues. That one is not one I click with as much because it is beyond my control. I do better with performance measure initiatives. That one is entirely money based. So basically I am just going to have to creep along in that league unless I can buy in. It is still nice for tracking progress. Also there is a random pick each week for a sbi.
I think you are doing great!
Well, I can't buy in unless I want a divorce... lol
My wife is not real fond of my crypto adventures, I have quite a few ventures going right now. Some of which are only sweat equity in the companies, that only cost me my time but have some potentially large payouts.
Plus, I'm hoping it will make a great story building a sizable steemit account without investing anything other than time and knowledge.
Watch out those crypto adventures can be addictive :)
It is a whole other level of satisfaction that comes from the points that are earned. Then again I always did rosebud my Simms game
Guard your marriage, but I bet you'll win her over with time!
I've been searching for loose chain recently with the prices so low!
lol, always do. Yep, I've been hitting a bunch of bitcoin faucets on a daily basis, they are just a few cents, but if you hit enough of them it adds up. I've managed to buy about 20 steem over the last couple of weeks that cost me less than an hour a day.
I certainly hope I win her over, I have a couple pretty big payouts that are vested, that could actually create financial freedom if all the stars aline properly. One just started a Regulation D offering, which is SEC regulated, so I have to use caution when discussing.
Caution Will Robinson, Freedom lies ahead!
Thanks for the kind words, @coinsandchains.
Don't focus on that number 1 spot in the red fish leagues too hard. Everybody grows at his own pace, that is how it is and how it should be. So, instead you'd better make sure your accounts keeps growing steadily.
By the way, congrats on that great reward on your open mic entry.
