It's already long time since Steemit announced that we're more than a million living creatures on this blockchain, and that's not something to be overlooked by, when analyzing a blockchain based social media platform. For such projects folks matter and the more, the better. Meah, I am not actually a fan of the more the better. I'd rather lure for the best money can buy.
You are one in a million, and you should be proud of that, but among all of those, that are accounted, there are plenty of bots, dead accounts and dormant accounts. Yes, you read it right, dormant accounts. These are the users that have entered hibernation ever since their posts couldn't buy a cup of coffee anymore. You know, it wasn't worthy playing this game by showing nails and posting memes anymore.
Someone had to work at McDonalds as well. Yes, I am rude and sarcastic and I deserve to be punished. Send me to the trending page once and for all :)) No, really, the fact that some dormant users have just come alive in the recent weeks is not my discovery, as many good old active steemians have reported such behavior as well. Suddenly blogging makes sense again.
And it's not all about blogging anymore. Many that just woke up lately in the middle of the Steem living room will find out that they probably didn't had appics when they were playing football around here, and now they can make instagram a reality on the blockchain. I guess DTube was invented about two years ago but, threepseak, tasteem and others definitely not. Hence is a new world that they'll face...and yeah, communities. What's that hive about babe?
I don't blame them for tacking a nap, pretty long as the bear market was, but I won't welcome them to applause either. Their blogs are personal accounts and anyone can do anything with his account. I don't even remember who I lost on the road to the new bull market cycle, but some of them I really wish to see active again. Just a few though, because I'm a jerk and I don't like anyone.
I get their attitude and strategy, but not all of them do. It's obvious that plenty of the recent woken Steem users have put up their blockchain suit again, just for the money, but others are simply driven by the psychology of the market, and for the sake of being part of the crypto world. Owning BTC or other crypto is one thing, and actually using a blokchain on a daily basis and be an active part of the movement is a whole different situation. One that not many appreciate.
Out of the crypto enthusiasts, you can make money by simply uploading crypto related videos on youtube or create telegram paid groups, but you have to be damn good to do that, you're still centralized and part of the old system though, while being a content creator on Steem is like being a baker and not just a cake buyer. You're there in the heat sweating and baking.
What makes me smile about this situation though is that for me it is a confirmation we're in a bull market. We have had Steem at almost 50 cents last summer as well, but we didn't see dormant accounts waking up in a rush, and now that's what makes things different. For the ones that held strong and continued doing what they were doing before the downfall was ignited, a big thumbs up, for the new comers here's a useful guide on how to approach Steem, and the rest that now decided to come back alive after years...get to your desk and take a piece of paper.
Thanks for attention,
Adrian

Weirdly, I just deleted several sleeping accounts I was following. Shoot, now they might be waking up!?
If they will, chances are they will comment on your posts and you can follow them back if you consider so.
Yes, that's a good point.
