Steemit has the potential to go super-viral this year which could get interesting. Once the masses start better understanding the crypto space as a whole and getting involved in various aspects of it, Steemit may very well stand out as a shining gem in the clutter. Basically, FULL STEEM AHEAD...
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I agree I resisted crypto currency yeas ago because I didn't understand it. I believe in gold and silver but now I see the importance of also having the advantage of a decentralized digital currency in my portfolio and steemit is a great way for anyone to get involved. Most people still have never even heard of this site or currency.
Agreed. You're probably in the same boat as I am, where I purchased a bunch of physical silver a few years ago (knowing the current financial system is literally and mathematically fucked...). At the time I knew of Bitcoin and blockchain but didn't put much effort to understanding what it was, why it exists, what it can solve, or how to get it, and because of this my silver value has remained flat for years while the crypto space exploded by leaps and bounds. If I had just put even half of my silver investment into something like Bitcoin or Litecoin... I can't even imagine the amount of value I would have today. Oh well, I am in the space now and doing quite well so overall I can't complain but I can't help but think "what if" still. With all that said I do still think holding a small position of physical silver (not a huge fan of gold personally) is still a smart idea as a hedge against both the current financial system as well as the blockchains massive volatility as a whole.
PS if you wanna see a good format for transitioning some of your YouTube followers over to Steemit check out the @cryptovestor Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTKyJALgd09WxZBuWVbZzXQ - see last few minutes of any of his videos) and check out his Steemit account (https://steemit.com/@cryptovestor/).
The way he does it is probably one of the best ways to start to get some of your YouTube people over to Steemit to try it out.
Thanks, I will take a look.
Oh and as a final sidenote, the main thing I like about Steemit is it is censorship free unlike Facebook, YouTube and alike. Myself being a person that deals mainly with conspiracy "theories" like 9/11, I found that some info on the major platforms (YT/FB) were LITERALLY off limits for discussion and would be INSTANTLY flagged as spam/abuse and removed/hidden from other users. The most blatant example of this is the official NORAD wargame scheduled for 2001 called "Amalgam Virgo 02", or more specifically scenario #1 titled "Red Spins" (aka "red team attacks", which FYI ties into NORAD Vigilant Guardian's Red team vs Blue team wargame exercise that was being ran on the morning of the 9/11 attacks...) which was released a few years ago via a FOIA request (and I am not kidding you actually stats "9/11 classified information" over the entire document and had the theme of near-simultaneous commercial aircraft hijackings and suicide attacks using those planes as weapons against major monuments and infrastructure) apparently isn't even to be mentioned on popular social media platforms due to its "sensitive" nature. Steemit has been the first major social platform I have found that doesn't censor crucial information such as this (information that is simply so that other people can make better educated decisions and come to their own conclusions base and ALL the evidence instead of just some).
For more information on what I am talking about you can check out my post below which goes into more specifics on this aspect of that days events.

Anyways sorry for the rant and somewhat off topic comment, I noticed you were conspiracy focused as well and just had to vent to someone that probably understands where I am coming from.
I really love that steemit is not censored & that people get to upvote things they agree with, enjoy reading, or or learn from. I love the fact that things that are less popular or (ultimately) collectively received will fall to the bottom so to speak and the most popular topics or bloggers will rise to the top so to speak. This is the first time I think a platform/forum gets the chance to have the participants decide what we want to view without advertisers, money or deceivers influencing/manipulating the outcomes.
Yep!
