Feels like it's been forever since I've been back here on this platform that gives me so much joy! I've been extremely busy these past 14 days and honestly besides replying to a few comments I just haven't had time no time to post anything meaningful.
This post is sorta just about the whole crypto space and where I fit in the whole space! I want to talk briefly about @IFC, STEEMIT, and crypto as a whole!
IFC is an awesome fricking COMMUNITY
My hobbies an passions mostly entail sports an being outside and of course traveling when the funds work out (Crypto market go back to where you were in January) cough cough! So once sorta NFL died down on Steemit and sports slowed down I wasn't really sure what to do with myself. I didn't have any motivation to post about anything, and I didn't want to just post random nonsense that no one would read! Since out of my 400 followers I probably have about 15 tops that read what I post!
One random morning I stumbled upon @IFC and it's changed my Steemit future. I finally found a community I could interact with and engage! Discord link here the group is pushing 100 members and its actually active members who engage daily which is great. Lots of awesome ideas flowing on how to grow the IFC. Very fun contest where I've learned about random topics I would have previously never found myself engaging in. Take the jump and join a fun new community if you're on Steemit you sure as hell wont regret it!
This is the Digital Castle that lays on the outskirts of Cryptopia the world of @IFC! Check out @apolymask for some fun quest's and join our crypto world!
STEEMIT THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY
I said it was free right? I understand not everyone can like the same thing, but seriously who couldn't like Steemit! There is something for everyone out there! You can work hard build a network and earn Steem just for posting solid content. I've absolutely loved every minute of it since I've joined the platform. I've tried to stay consistent but sometimes life just gets in the way. I'm sure most people who read this are already apart of Steemit but if this somehow gets crossed onto Facebook or something and you're not apart of Steemit go make an account ASAP!
The Global rank for traffic based of off Alexa's stats shows steemit around 1100. While Steem was around 5$ it peaked and was in the top 1000. So it shows the potential in Steemit for sure. I think this year Steemit will go main stream for sure as long as there is no problem's with people abusing the system to an extreme.
I personally see it being top 1000 again easily STEEMIT RANK. More and more people I've been talking to recently have asked about Steemit and how to get involved. So just like @IFC I see the whole community growing as a whole!
CRYPTO CURRENCIES
I truthfully don't care if people disagree with me or not and its my opinion alone. I'm not stating facts and just giving my opinion, but even in the state the market is now I think the addpotion is getting there. I truly don't care about all the rubbish news I hear daily about bans and all sorts of nonsense. I think 2017 was a huge year with massive profits everywhere that the dip was bound to happen.
It was so hot for so long that even the smallest spark would set fire to the whole forest! That's essentially what happened and it sucks for the people who came into the market in December and January because they're sitting with big bags that are quite negative at the moment, but if you believe in the technology and what Crypto brings to the world then everything will be fine. Go out enjoy the spring and summer and don't glue yourself to coins and markets It'll turn around in due time!
@kryptocek, I had similar thoughts with this platform and if it wasn't for communities like @ifc, I don't know if I would even be as active as I am, even though it's not too much. I enjoy being a part of something that is positive and doing great things! And it's a hell of a lot of fun!
Totally man. Before I would come on and enter some sports contest here and there but I really didn't feel like posting since it was practically like talking to a ghost. Of course not having much SP didn't help the cause since people wouldn't come to your page.
This is fun though and you grow organically and just makes it a fun little hobby to come too. Being apart of a fun little community! :D
Content getting lost in the Steem void is EXACTLY the reason my team came up with PredictEV, the prediction-focused social network we're building. Steem is an awesome idea, but its general-purpose nature can make it difficult for posts to be discovered. We believe that by focusing on a niche like sports predictions, rather than taking a shotgun approach to the topics we support, our users will be better able to engage in conversations and form communities.
I just wrote a post about PredictEV a bit earlier today if you want to check it out. We also recently released our whitepaper, which you can find here.
Thats awesome I will look more into it tonight! The concept seems brilliant though!
I would have to agree! My posts reflect that onceI started helping @apolymask with the #informationfinding championship I started posting a bit more frequently and allowing the way I've learned so much thatI may not have learned without steemit!!! Plus I've "met" quite a few awesome people along the way!
Totally. I mean in my little time knowing you, everyday you'd post in the group how you mastered so new coding or whatever function here on Steemit and that's helped me along the way as well!
It changed a lot of our futures as well! :) And I also feel similar in that I finally found a community as well, and I knew that was important before, but realize it even more now.
I'm glad and honored to be part of such an awesome group of peoples. :) And there's some exciting things happening, will be fun to see where this goes, and especially who wins the first season! I'm curious to know! :D Cheers bud.
Yup I definitely let everyone I know the sooner you can join a community that you value and believe in the sooner your success will arise as well.
Looking forward to it as well with all this new talent!
:)
The nice thing about steemit is the community atmosphere, and the willingness of people to help people when the need is there. IFC is one of those communities, I was fortunate in that I never face booked, I did hear lots of horror stories from my wife and stories she relayed about friends, and well stories from MSM. At IFC, people seem to actually like competing and there is no pressure to do it.
I may have to check this community out. Like you, I have been away fort awhile, pretty busy in life. Trying to get back here daily, or close to it, though.
Hope you and your girl are doing well!
Thanks @braveboat I actually stumbled upon your name I believe it was @costanza or someone else had a write up of you about sport betting! Its a fun community if you're on discord definitely give the group a join.
Topics in the quest are always different and fun! Looking forward to having you back on board steemit if the time is there! This past month has been busy for me as well, but nice coming back and seeing everything! Even if Steem isn't nearly where it used to be thats all fine and just gravy on top once its all said and done!
Yes. Good. Love sports. Love basketball. Yes, the Information Finding challenges are fun. I participated in the contests. Love it. I'm Oatmeal.
