We meet again. :)
Alrighty. So... Its kind of funny that i ran into this today. Really is. Ive written a post similar in topic, that pertains to our overarching benefit we achieve by helping others. I go a bit deeper in the discussion with tying it all to tangible benefits especially in the Steem ecosystem.
Its really not so different from what you are saying here.
"Sooner or later, millions of people will be visiting Steemit and our actions here today will become a lot more influential which is something we should be all keeping in mind."
This is extremely important here. Not only will our actions now, be influential later, but rather our actions now at this very moment influence those that will potentially arrive on Steem.
Every single one of our actions here, every decision we make now, every good or bad deed, every selfish or altruistic act, we all do as a collective, when put together, has a supreme effect on the outward perception others have in regard to the Steem ecosystem. An effect on its reputation, on its standing, on the faith that it will succeed.
Even the smallest voice has weight. The most "insignificant action" has an effect. Payouts fill your pockets, but respect of the community, cooperation make you great.
I still think that the smallest of plankton has the power in them to effect this platform equally to those whales with 500k, 1mil, 2mil, SP... It will be super hard and the odds are againts you but it can be done.
It just takes courage and determination.
And there we go. Id say im most proud of this one so far. hehe...
Anyways i wanted to tell you that on my last post on "enlightened self interest" im trying to collect funds to help fill the reward pool of Openmic, since pfunk dropped from top 20 witnesses and they are running at a loss. I cant stress enough the importance of openmic for us musicians on Steem..
Im donating all the SBD from that post payout towards the reward pool. Its currently at $74 so any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.
Thx for reading and see you later. :D
