Hello steemians,
Thank you for all your amazing and kind comments for my 3000 followers party, i choose today this comment, please @outhori5ed post a fresh comment here to let me reward you:
Thank you outhori5ed for your comments, i have been very inspired by your story and how steemit rapidly became a life changing platform giving you the opportunity to SteemiIT for a living.
This social medial platform is still very young and we are all early adopters, everyday i follow adoption satatistics and read introduction post from new users, i also witness the flippening happening between youtube/ twitch and Dtube.

I am convinced 2018 will be a booming year for steemit blockchain, more and more people will Steemit for a living as outhori5ed do and I wonder how many steemians already do it?
As a pionner, outhori5ed open our mind and show us what is already possible.
His story might inspire us to follow his exemple and provide new opportunities for many people.
This post will be here forever and i hope steemians will post to share their testimony and inspire us to pursue our dreams using this new technology for a living.
Share your steemit life changing story here!
I discovered steemit last October approved last November and made a decent post this month. My friend told me @jacinta.sevilla that it can be possible to achieve happiness, fullfillment and financial freedom in this community. She mostly make some artworks, deep and detailed ones. As a teacher, being paid like thrice than the minimum wage but I cant even save a penny nor spoil myself a decent double shot espresso at a local coffee shop. All of my salary goes to my debts. I got a car accident last 2016 and a major cyst operation. I spent 2017 paying my debts. I startting to ask myself if am I unlucky or just ungrateful. Everything is routinary. Safe yet boring. Nothing motivates me waking up from my bed. I wear a decent uniform but I walk without dignity. I love teaching but I fell harder on arts. Since during in childhood it was my firstlove. Parents told me to secure something on your plate rather than your emotions. People see art just a way to express. But for me art is everything and art is everywhere. One of my post earned around 70 sbd . In the place where I leave it cant even earn a dollar. Steemit made me HUMAN again. Now I am decided to persue my passion into action. I am forever grateful to steemit and its supportive community. Might quit my job and try to live more.
Thank you so much I cant express in words how greatful I am. This can really help me alot in many ways.
@damarth, I am very grateful for ALL you are doing and for also sharing my comment as a means to motivate and encourage others. I am very positive that there are millions of people who are doing more in their capacity through steemit and I am encouraged daily to steem and to spend my time on this platform.
Everyone has a mind capable of producing the unthinkable and doing the impossible. Steemit mines the mind of a man to make him productive beyond his wildest dreams and he begins to function beyond his wildest reach.
Yes, I SteemIT for a living and my life is receiving a growing and glowing change.
I used to work for a private company in Lagos Nigeria and when i decided to resign, my colleagues thought i was making the greatest mistake of my life because as at then, an SBD was less that a $ and to them it was folly to leave a job in a country where over 10million graduates walk the streets daily in search for jobs. But today, they wish they have something they believe so much in that they can make a decision that looks insane for. I have come to know now that the greatest mistake any man can make is to see a Risk and not take it; because it is always a Risk NOT to take a Risk.
First, I started the poultry farm using proceeds from steemit as i was NOT paid or given any package while i was leaving the job and now I have acquired a store where I want to start selling poultry feeds, poultry equipment, poultry drugs and vaccines etc(i am presently in the store with a carpenter working on the bedfloor for the feeds).
All this wouldn't have been possible without steemit. Steemit can mean different things to different people BUT to me, it is a life changer. Steemit gives me so much joy!
Steemit is changing lives.
Thank you @damarth for this great opportunity
I am
@outhori5ed
To be part of a blockchain platform that helps us share our creativity and mine with our minds, change our lives and inspire others is such a blessing! Congrats on your winning and I wish tons of more good things your way!
Thank you very much outhori5ed for the inspiration.
< it is always a Risk NOT to take a Risk>
You are a pioneer, an adventurer, a mind opener, you deserve your rewards and success, i wish you the best and take care of the poultry, let them have the best life possible.
Yes damarth.. He deserves.. He became a motivation for others.. And thanx damarth for your kindness as you are rewarding ppl with big heart.. I am quite impress from outhori as he showed his deep trust in steemit and left hi job and tried hard to be successful here.. Actually its your faith which take you to sky.. The faith can make an ordinary stone a representative of god or can convert into diamond.. Its faith that a person can create millions from trash and otherone consider trash only trash.. You took right decission by putting your faith in steemit as steemit is better than diamond.. I did the same.. One month ago i joined steemit and i am putting allmy efforts to be successful here.. I believe in it more than myself.. I ofered almost 50 persons in my family to join it and work on it.. After alot of fraud schemes on internet no one is ready to risk anything even their time and considering it fraud.. They are waiting for my success and i want to be a motivation for them.. Two weks ago i receved an offer of job in a public sector school as principal of school with handsom salary pkg with benefits like conyance, free education for kids etc but i refused to join and told them that i am committed now for work on steemit..although we are facing fynancial crysis nowadays i refused.. Its my commitmnt with myself.. I am confident that one day i ll be in good successful steemians and ll earn my nice income here.. I always searched for some good pllatfrm where iam able to work on my own way and ll b my own boss.. Thanx god i found it.. And thanx damarth you are providing good platfrm of success stories.. God bless you and protect you
WOoow...Thank you very much @damarth. I am very grateful and humbled by your show of love to this great community.
I will do my best in the farm and business and make it a testimony of how Steemit can change a life.
Thank you @damarth for giving us this platform to share our experiences. You are really a positive influence to us. I greatly appreciate.

Thank you for all of you guys.You makea good job im greatfull to have u here in steemit.
Blockchain opens opportunities that you never thought of before. Third world countries can benefit the most i guess and they should. Steemit unites blockchain technology with fun, knowledge, creativity and everthing what human being can offer. Steemit is not perfect, but when a platform is able to change lifes, it should definitly get the chance to be supported and as longer i blog and comment on steemit the more i believe in it . I mean its the case that i am more often on steemit than facebook already and that has to mean something. Thanks for your inspiration @outhori5ed. I hope its also an inspiration for others joining this platform and share thoughts and their lifes with us.
Greetings from Germany
Thank you very much @damarth for this great community of sharing our thoughts. Reading through the comments i am very convinced that steemit is really a life changer. I agree with you @cryptowani and i am optimistic that steemit is the escape from poverty, unemployment and inequality for youth especially of the third world countries.
I am humbled seeing how @damarth have made the world to see my steemit testimony and how it is now igniting greater testimonies from this community. Everyday, i consciously or unconsciously thank the founders of steemit @ned and @dan and the users who have made steemit 'a home for all'.
I have no testimony without YOU.
I am
@outhori5ed
thanks for the responce, i appreciate it.
I have a big testimony too
I live in a metropolitan city here in Nigeria called uyo and I joined steemit on the 27th of December, before then I wasn't really the giving type.
I came here and met so many generous people like @Damarth and my life changed. I used some of the coins @Damarth and @surpassinggoogle gave me on my comments on their posts and touched some lives early this year .
thank you Steemit
thank you @Damarth
thanks all who support and love humanity.
@Damarth supported charity visit to orphanages.
Yea, Steemit change my fate too!
Before starting my story, I would like to introduce myself first. I am degree student which taking Economics course at local university(Sg) currently. Before I knew Steemit, I was about to stop studying my degree and go for a work in order to pay my school fees.
Luckily, I discovered Steemit on Jun last year and start blogging. I start to earn money myself when I am studying. As time goes on, I was able to make a few thousand bucks and I changed my mind. I am not going to work anymore, because Steemit provides me an awesome platform to earn some money after school!
I am so appreciate to Steemit as it totolly changed my fate!
I wish to support artists with this platform! In my city there are a looot of great artists who cant hone their skills cos no schools support their kind of living and even parents are against of it. Its understandable but what if they can have the freedom to do what they want for their life? A chance to express and be rewarded accordingly?
Ive created 2 expressive groups because of this mission for 1 yr weve been performing and showcasing their talents in my city gradually achieving some kind of recognition for them.
Since i found steemit ive been lacking sleep cos i cant believe that this kind of platform exist! This will make everything possible for my groups and the future artists! A true blessing of technology! Soon ill be promoting steemit on our local tv with my groups!
you are right @shanto24
i also @incrediblesnow.
When I first heard of STEEMIT, I doubted, but After gaining entry to Steemit my business turned around.
We don't risk anything trying steemit.
Rare to find a risk free opportunity in this world.
I really agree with you @damarth in steemit this is no risk of loss except for those who sell buy bitcoin for profit.
Yes damarth.. Yes this is the place we dnt need to invest anything.. This is the most important benefit here.. Actually we invest our time herr but its much better to waste any other useles place or social media like facebook where we spend but earn nothing.. Here withoutt investment we earn even in start you can earn 1sbd minimum daily.. And one thing money is not everything you learn here manythings in free share whatever we want talk to other ppl make new friends etc.. Steemit giving us a platform wherr we can use our abilities and skills and nourish them.. Different nations and cultured interact and learn alot from one another.. I am als feeling it risk free and so fully spending my time here... I am learning about it from differrnt sources and wish i ll b like damarth.. Big heart like damarth..
That is so nice to hear. Steemit makes the world a better place. Been there I sell crackers so I can eat a decent food way back on my college days.
Hello I Am Arnold from the Philippines and a dialysis patient for 15 years already.
I started dialysis December of 2001 and is also now suffering from a rare condition called "Leontiasis Ossea" and it gives me a disfigurement on my face and a disability on my speech and eating.
My backbone also collapsed and it gave me a disfigured look.
But steemit just picked me up and is supporting me via my friends here who are selflessly helping me even though I can return what they are constantly giving me.
Without steemit I do not know really what will happen to me because my medication is very expensive and I cannot afford it if it were not from he money that I was earning here.
Currently I am expecting a more expensive therapy because my hyperparathyroid isn't responding as expected and I am still having a thyroid hormone overdose from my hyperparathyroid so it would be another blow for my well-being as the medicine for it gives me an awful side-effect too.
I am just happy that I have God and steemit in my left and right ready as always to support me in this kind of dreaded condition that I am into. It is a hard life but at least I have something to comfort me.
You have always been the top rewarder and encourager, I was nearly in tears reading that guys testament and testimony, well the world is such a small place and steemit had made it smaller.
With loads of love from people like you loads of support and many have escaped the pangs of poverty infact many homes and poor countries have enjoyed the benevolence of this platform.
As for me, been struggling hard to pay my bills in college, don't dropped out for a year, it was hard, this time it's better, I have quite enough to pay here.
You're an amazing person buddy, I don't know you too much, but your works have told me what I really should know.
Thank you for your kind words josediccus, crypto revolution should really give back financial freedom to everyone and clearly steemit perflectly pursue this utopia.
Steemit is a proof of crypto revolution utopia !
Certainly it has, and you have magnanimously conveyed it with the right purpose,
Actually I also do steemit full time for a living. The platform offers better a opportunity than any full time job here in our country (the Philippines) as the average minimum wage here is 318.00 PHP only or slightly more than $6.00 a day, not to mention that it is also hard to find a decent job here (especially when you did not finish college). To us (Filipinos), steemit is more than just a platform, it is indeed a life changer! And so as I received my very first steemit payout, I was very very happy! So I shared the platform to some of my friends and most especially to my family. For now I am leading a small steemit community here in our place (the @steemph.iligan community). Actually it is more than just a community, to us we are more like a family already. I guide them and we support each other to be fruitful here. I would really appreciate your help if you can throw some support to us. Thank you!
From statistics, i see the Phillipines community is very strong, it's really great the platform reach mass adoption there and offer new opportunities for so many people.
Thank you for your testimony.
Yeah and our number here is significantly growing over time. SteemPH and other curation project such as @bayanihan are starting to have problems in reaching out all Filipino steemians. So I asked for a steemph subsection and so affiliated branches such @steemph.iligan are created to discover promising authors from every provinces in the whole Philippines.
how many your first payment?
how you received your ammount.
This platform is indeed such a great opportunity! It changes many peoples life completely, by giving them the change to support their studies or just giving them a way to express themself!
Beautiful minds are getting connected with each other and share the love, joy and happiness. The positive vibes are everywhere around. I have seen groups of steemians together, and it is barely possible to see them more excited about anything else than steemit! I feel this will be my blessing of 2018, our blessing.
Love,
Sha
Steemit to me is my life ...since I came to discover steemit on Dec 19th 2017, it has been my all-and-all, I discovered Steemit on my darkest of hour,i was so broke to the point that I ask for support to eat, I have already given up on life, any thing I touch fail, I have tried all other ways to make it to the top but all to no avail, until a friend introduced me this beautiful community which has totally transformed my life..... Today I can tell you of some many investment I have established with the income I earn from steemit
Also steemit has help to build my self confidence and has made me useful in my community.
Thanks steemit and @damarth
When i joined steemit, this is where i am getting the money for almost everything. Like bills and all that. Steemit community helps me to get funds to be able to pay everything with my pregnancy, it adds up to our savings. so it's really a big help since i lost my job after getting pregnant for some health issue. I do steemit as my full time job i am blogging to make a living, and i realized that steemit can do anything, i am making more than my daily rate when i used to work in manila. Steemit can change someones life, i witness most of steemian here changed life bcos of the power of steemit, people become more wealthy and Blessed. Steemit is a blessing in disguise. We should value and give importance of using the platform. Steemit is morethan just a social networking site. Ot is where the FAMILY everyday gather to share informations and love.
What i can share now
I am making post as much as i can, sharing quality contents to save up some money to buy art materials for kids, my bestfriend and i planning to teach out of school youth, teach them how to read and write and also to draw we already bought some papers and pencil. I am still saving to buy some chairs and small tables for them. ☺ i am forwarding my blessing to them.
Thanks so much @Damarth for your goodness, I love you sir. Keep doing good.
You have changed my story, I now give to people not just receive

I am student in Nigeria that depend on the meager amount of money that my middle class parents can provide monthly. Sometimes what I get won't even last the first week of the month.
Since I found out about steemit, I am able to meet my basic needs, and even sometimes I don't bother asking from my parents. I just love the feel of being independent. I am so happy I found steemit and I am grateful to people like@damarth that helps minnows on the blockchain.
Cheers
I was an unemployed. I was sitting
at home by passing MBA. His
father used to work in his money.
Steemit.Com has really changed
my life. Thank you so much for
opening this website. One day you
will be steemit popular than
facebook.
This is my story too, that a self sponsored student who needed financial aid urgently. Thanks for steemit
I'm very glad that I joined this platform. Steemit changed my life !!!!! The fact is that I live in the Donbas ... we have a war ... unemployment ..
And those who were lucky and they got a job, too, it is not easy. Salaries are very small, 5000 rubles per month. And how to live it ??????
And here it is !!!! Support!!!!!
I discovered this platform for myself, where I can not only realize myself and my thoughts, but also worthy of it zarobatyvat.Chto be able to feed themselves and the family !!!!! Thank you for that!!!!!!
It's in the police ... if you are interested in the details of life in Ukraine, in particular Donbass, write ... I'll tell the whole truth from the first mouth))))
steemit will change everyone's life in future INSHA ALLAH. But i am so happy to know that their ia an authentic income platform who helped students, unemployed,housewifes, people who under debt. I am trying my luck on it. And Insha Allah will share share my success story with you soon.
I can be considered a beginner in Steemit. Why is that, since I signed up in mid-2017 and did not use it because I was too busy with my work. In those days I saw my friends who used Steemit had a lot of success and increased their income. I envy them and in my heart regret why I did not use them after I registered. Starting today especially after reading this post from @damarth and reading comments comments below from my Steemit friends friends I am determined to be able to have income from this Steemit and I hope people like you @damarth who are among the users of Steemit are known to be generous in giving upvote would help me to quickly develop in the world of Steemit.
It take motivation to build a long term relationship with a new community and stay active, sometimes we need inspiring story to believe what is possible to achieve.
That's why outhori5ed story all all testimony comments here are so important.
Motivation is what made me succeed here. Thank u @Damarth
Thank you very much @damarth,
Motivation of people like you is very valuable for beginners like us ...
For staying here in 12 days i was able to write up my feelings. May father died last christmas, writting and reading some other posts here lessen the burden and hatred inside. As of now this is the only way where i can blow it off. This is such an awesome community! Thank you @damarth for making me realize how lucky i am for being here. You're one of our inspirations here, considering us - begginers here is a big help! May god bless you more.
My condolences neihy for you father, i wish you the best.
Steemit changes my life. My Dad passed a year and some months ago and making ends meet at home became increasingly difficult with seven children feeding and schooling from once source!!!
I was introduced to Steemit at a Seminar last year December. I started ernestly, making posts that only garnered a dollar. I was discouraged but that was until one of my posts last three weeks clucked 251$. The proceeds that came from that posr went a long way into catering for my needs!
STEEMIT I AM GRATEFUL!!!
THANK YOU DAMARTH FOR THS OPPORTUNITY TO DROP THIS TESTIMONIAL.
I intend to keep steeming and promoting Steemit to everyone i know!
I am Student and always depending on my parents for financial assistance but with steemit I was able to pay my school fee all by myself for the first time ever and I freed my parents from the stress of always sending feeding allowance.
I'm unemployed, things have been hard before now but with steemit at least I now have a little source of income. Although I'm still new, I hope to explore more opportunities on this platform and invest for the future. Thanks @damarth, your previous reward really went a long way to encourage me!
Hope to be like you one day
Greetings!
I'm much appreciating you for making this post and giving chance to win your upvote. ;) I'm awaiting since 8 days for your posts because you loved to hear people's problems and experiences. That's what I'm going to share it with you.
I joined #steemit one month and few days ago for generating some revenue for my family and personal expenses. With this purpose, I tried to work hard on steemit from day to night so that I can generate monthly expenses from this greatest platform.
And, I found this platform really helpful for making some money and fan following towards my photography and food blogging. I'm much happier than before choosing this platform cause of you guys who give author rewards for writing being a loyal author and coomunity.
You know what, why I started work hard from day to night? JUST BECAUSE OF YOU because you have given me out 5 SBD on my comments and this little help encourage me much more that you can expect right now for growing up using this network.
thanks @damarth.
I am a newcomer. i come from aceh indonesia. and my son @safrijals.
he is the one who invites me in the world of steemit. and he always guides me. and he often tells you about me. you are a wonderful person. and kind. you are a noble person.
I expect support from you. and if someday you have time please visit to my blog and comment if there is a mistake. give me a beautiful landing so that many posts in others see. thanks @damarth.
Wow !! Glad to see you guys son and father. It's really great achievement to this platform that people easily get chances to using this and connected with this community. If it is happening regular basis i think it will be boom though not immediately but definitely . I appreciate your mind . @damarth
Thank you guys
If there is one word I can use to describe Steemit, it would be life-changing. It changes lives in a way that:
I have seen many people succeed in this platform, which is something I want to achieve as well. But it doesn't happen overtime. It is a constant build up of hardwork, talent, and engagement. But the good thing is, I know I always have people to go to for guidance and support.
Let me also share how people admire you for your generosity. You always support people around which contributed to an increase in their self-confidence and earning. You are one of the people whom Steemians look up to. Thank you for your kindness and please continue your advocacy.
Steemit... It encourages a lot when you observe every day how it changes peoples lives.
To be frank, It's the only social media platform that I use. I don't really use any other because It's just a waste of time and everyone is always arguing about nothing in very rude way. But here... you can rarely see something like that.
It didn't completely change my life yet but I'm already working on it. It was a great experience to meet people who also believe in decentralisation and freedom of mind.
I've started to learn digital drawing because of steemit. And it can help me connect with people who does the same, ask for advices and show my progress.
It is definitely a great project and I believe it will help a lot of people to reach heights they would never believe they could reach.
Hello All of my Steemit Friend..
Especially to Our Senior and The Expert Stemians @damarth.
when I first heard of social media platforms steemit this. I feel there is something new and is very important in steemit this. so I tried to search for more information about steemit this.
after know news great I directly plans to register a new member steemit. after registration finished my no special task to an area so I there are not able to use all of my time to work on the platform steemit.
And after that I get the success of outstanding common applications steemit. I am so could work as much as possible to forward with steemit by making posts by posting a nice and interesting.
that I need to tell me here is I really feel sad when I could not working together steemit. I feel jealous and difficult when I could not up to open the application steemit and make postings.
sorry if there is wrong in English me because I still not good at English language.
See you later on the next post.
You can never know how your life can change in a little over two months. Steemit happened and i thank God for the way He used in introducing me to it through this amazing person @kingsolo and the massive help i have received so far from @tojukaka.
With Steemit, i got to understand that no one has the monopoly of knowledge. Just when you thought you have understood one thing and you are confident about it, you see other views and you are totally blown away and that keeps you humble; confident, yes, but at the same time being open to learn more and absorb all you can and that is one of the amazing adjustments that has happened to my life CHARACTER WISE and *MENTALLY since i found steemit.
I spoke to some groups of people about Steemit and about them coming on board. I always tel people everytime that before Steemit, i know absolutely NOTHING about digital world or currencies. I was a clueless man in that department. When i spoke to these groups, their usual statement and words are usually in "We don't understand how crypto currency works". And i always admire that because humility and admittance that you don't know a thing is the first step to learning and it keeps your heart and mind open. I always share my own testimony about how i know NOTHING about this too and i have found love and understanding in it and very soon, these set of groups are coming on board and i will give them all the help and guidance that they need just as i was given when i started out. We all could use the little help and push.
Another achievement i can record is the shift in mentality, sorely pointing to the power of association; SOCIAL DEPARTMENT. Nobody can make it in the world alone and Steemit embodies that. It makes you believe in the power of association which is to focus on building new relationships, having like minded people around you and every other aspect becomes easy, even the highly sort after SBD and STEEM.
I found a new passion with Steemit. Steemit gave me a new platform to be heard when i was already losing interest in my writing ability due to low turn out. I was losing the steam but steemit came and gave it back. It really brought out my writing skills and gifts which i have abandoned for a long time and brought out another aspect of me that i have in me which i haven't been doing more like i am supposed to; giving advice and motivating. I do it more now and that is a remarkable achievement for me in my life and in the impact i wish to make because i want to give people new mindset about their misconceptions about life, and that is why i am always on most comment sections to make my presence felt and touch a life.
Most of the time the negative things we see around affects our mind and kills our creativity but with a better mindset, everyone can see things differently. With Steemit as a better platform, i intend to do more of that.
Another amazing achievement i have been able to record since Steemit is in the MENTAL DEPARTMENT. As a writer or aspiring writer, you should be able to read more which can enhance your writing skills and bring about creativity and i have been lazy in that department (and as i said earlier, i kind of lost motivation to write), and now i have been able to read more now on a single platform and learning everyday.
The lure that brought most of us here is the money. I can't believe how this platform has been able to help me fix this and still fixing it...thanks to God and people like you here on Steemit.
there was a ponzi scheme that hit Nigerian last year. It turned men to boys and women to girls. I too was affected. At first when I heard of steemit, I thought it was another ponzi so I rebuked the Idea. I am very thankful to @jaff8 who went as far as to cash out just to make me believe. I created an account in October, but became active in November. My introduce yourself post gave me $20, but my friend whom introduced me to steemit said to me that my next post might not be as high as this but I should not be discouraged. Indeed when I made my second post it didn't give up to 10 cent.
my achievements so far with steemit.
Steemit has helped me in many ways. I was able to get my self a new PC. This week I am going to be launching my snail farm (I am going to share it on steemit). My dad has just retired and all I have to do is to keep on making quality content and commenting to support my family. Above all steemit has changed my mentality and way of thinking. and I believe it has also changed the mentality of some of my fellow Nigerians. There was a scenario where a fellow Nigerian was to sell me some SBDs. I made the payment late and when I was back online, he had already sold to another buyer. He asked me for my account details and refunded the money. I was very surprised. This is very rear in Nigeria. So I am really glad that steemit has not just changed only me but my fellow Nigerians.
Thank you sir @damarth for making it possible for us to share our experience so far.
I tried every possible method online to earn for my family as i belong to a poor family; but invain, since 2015 :(
I wanted to earn because i wasnt able to manage my education expenses.
For this purpose i join steemit community.
Here i am very happy because i earned 5SBD so far and i am working hard to make my self viral in steemit and earn enough for my family so that i can fulfill their every possible need and myself too..
Thanks #damarth for giving me a chance to share my story with all of you
I hope you will support me in this matter
Stay blessed
28 days have gone past since I first registered here on Steemit. What a life changing experience it has been.
From being introduced to Crypto to learning what it means to be a blogger, literally a life changing experience, no other terms can describe it.
I truly have found a new challenge in my life, in the second half of my life span, maybe even the last third of my life span, but what ever it is, it is going to be the most interesting part of my life as I have seen an entire new world out there.
2018 will be greater than last year. I have a testimony, a student I am, money for text books was difficult. Steemit came n rescued me. Thanks @Damarth
2018 is going to be a HUGE year for steem and all of us using the platform. The two biggest things that separates steem from other crypto currencies is that the community aspect and networking ability on this platform is unmatched in the crypto space. No other coin connects users from across the globe quite like steem.
The second aspect that separates steem from the rest is the amount of transactions that can be processed and no fees involved. As more users join the platform, more and more FEE-LESS transactions will be taking place. More transactions than any other coin out there.
So these to factors are absolutely huge for the steem platform and us as the user base. going to be a great year, cheers to our success
I agree , i think the market undervalue the potential of steem to be use as currency, fast, cheap and backed by humans social media activity.
The use cases just keep growing with steem. This year they are going to roll out SMT's which will add a lot, you have lots of different developers in the @utopian-io area developing programs and getting paid. You have the @paywithsteem community growing and there are even restaurants where you can pay with steem, no cash needed. Faster and cheaper than bitcoin. It's a beautiful thing
Exactly, i don't know when we can expect SMT's to be delivered but it will be the next level for steemit.
Few weeks ago, i heard about steemit debit card, i don't know if it is scheduled soon.
With Dapps on steemit blockchain and the remaining adoption to gain, the potential of the platform is impressive.
My life has returned to my best. Thanks steemit
Couldn't agree more. Have a good sunday my friend
Hello @Damarth, truth is steem value Will keep increasing as long as the investors keep believingin it and promoting it
I did not know what to pay debt for. and now I have felt the pleasure in steemit. and I used to have a debt of about 20 million rupiah and now I've paid half of it all. and I will try to pay debts from others. I am now paying 15 million and I am in debt of 5 million more. and I will keep trying to pay the debt. thank you so much to you @damarth.
Well, I'm basically full time here as well. My country is not the richest, the minimum wage is quite low. Steemit is indeed changing my life because I don't need to work at a hard job for pennies and I don't need to leave my country (like most peole do here) to earn more money. I'm really happy that Steemit provides such great opportunity to earn some income. And I earn money by doing what I love, so that's really awesome! It's a life changing platform for people like me :)
Steemit is a life changer for Africans.Life can sometimes be hard in Africa!
We all hear of the high unemployment rates and also the high rates of underpayment from employers.
Steemit has changed my life too Herr in Uganda.I am among the first guys to join Steemit in Uganda and earning a modest amount in a week,money average take a month to earn.
I am currently concentrated on Steemit full time and showing this awesome opportunity to Uganda.
Steemit is a big opportunity to Africa,it's why we keep promoting it crazily here.Steemit is changing Africa.
thanks a ton for giving this great opportunity once again that I can share life changing experience to you. I'm much obliged for that...Lemme try to share one and the most important thing here that I have joined this superb platform to get some money for my educational fees and also I want to educate my younger brother with the help of this money.
That's why I joined this so that I can get some education, after that I can join a forum to feed my tummy in the future. This was the main purpose behind it an now I'm happy that this network helps me to get on my feet in some time. STEEMIT GIVES ME A LOT, A Nice fan following, good people who love to read my comment and my friend also encourage me to work hard on the platform to get more valuable things from here.
Hi dearest one, I'm happy that you give me a huge oppotunity for sharing my life chnaging experience on steemit.
I started #steemit platform to introduce my skill level regarding Gaming and PCs. I was happy when I uploaded my first gaming video about how to install on PC/Laptop because I got 50 Steem Dollar and my Rep. Score grow up from 25 to 43 in no minutes. This is what empower me to work more and more to get some nice reviews and upvotes.
Honestly speaking, steemit pltform give me a great oppotunity to share my skill and getting rewards in return. Most importantly, this earning is the my FIRST EVER EEARNING of my LIFE. I'm cloud on nine. I'm making plan to get more on this network. Thanks Sir for making this post and giving us your sometime. 🙂
Hey @damarth, what your doing is inspiring. Im glad that you a sharing thoughts of other Steemians and their stories. And that you are creating a better environtment for Steemit. Because of that, count me in to your followers now.
Well, in my case, I did too, Steemit changed my outlook in my everyday life. Before, I mainly focus on my work. My previous hobbies was all forgotten until I joined steemit since two months ago. I regret that I was a bit late, If only I knew it earlier. My self-motivation started to turn-up again, I began to appreciate the small things around me. Before, I don't even appreciate the good things around me but now I'm beginning to appreciate even the smallest things that I have. I even blog about it, hehehe. Anyway, I guess the positive environment that Steemit is providing is affecting not only our social life but also our personal life. This platform brings out the best in us and happy to be part of it.
I've said it many times, Steemit has the potential to be great and really glad that I'm part of it.
I am a new steemians, I see many steemians in Aceh succeed because of steemit and help the friends or the less fortunate community in the neighborhood.
I was invited by my brother and my friend @teukurahmatakbar to create a steemit account. in order to earn a living for me and my family and help the community around.
Likes grief as steemians is hard to find upvotes who would vote every post me.
that's my story
As a photographer I needed money to expand my business, steemit changed my story
Thank you sir damarth for this opportunity to once again express my gratitude to steemit for changing my life for good.
Just late last year around November, I had no money and no means of empowering myself financially. I had invested in a scheme earlier 2017 that made me lose all my money. Then my friend @jaff8 told me about steemit and then my life changed. I got my first @curie upvote in December and I was able to purchase some equipment for my photography and also pay my sibling's school tuition fees.
Steemit has made me a better person all round. I now read more, I now write better articles, I now have a means for getting rewarded for my photography, I am now a better thinker and now I know more things because of the numerous posts I read every day on steemit.
I am on my way to being financially free.
After I graduate from the department of civil engineering next year I would use some of the money I have been saving from steemit to further my studies, abroad hopefully.
I now communicate better with people on the internet due to the numerous interactions I've had on the platform.
Just recently I went out to see a friend and on my way home I got something really nice for my parents. They were so happy that their son remembered to buy the something on his way home. It made me look really responsible in their sight. You should have seen the smile on their faces. This is all thanks to steemit.
Steemit is the new occupation and steem is the currency.
Once again damarth, thank you for supporting me. You have been a blessing to me and to the community.
Yours sincerely

being among a large family,were everyone has to fish for his/her self. i grew up living on doors, i had to work in an early age just to ensure that i don't go begging. With God at my side , i was able to make up some few cash which i added to the cash that i got from friends and with that, i was able to save money to enhance and further my education and now i'm currently studying Electrical/Electronics Engineering at college, although life has not being easy because collage life is too expensive but what was i supposed to do, i had no choice than to continue working and at same time schooling, which i didn't find that easy for me, it really affected my book work. Just on this faithful day when i came across a friend and he did introduced me to steemit and this was because he knew how well i love writing, so he suggested that i join steemit, a platform where i can express my love for writing and even learn more in the community and at same time earn from it. That's how my life embrace a new change and now i can boldly say that i'm living a perfect life and also my education life is going smoothly... Big thank you to Steemit

Thanks for inspiring me!
First I'll love to say a big thank you to @damarth for what he is doing for us minnows on steemit.
Since joining steemit my life has improved greatly in every aspect. Before joining steemit I was having serious financial issues and also was not making good use of my time because where I come from there is little to do to fetch you money.
I wanted to acquire some hand skills but there was no money for the registration, school was going to resume in few weeks and I had no money for fees and even books not to mention clothings. The thought of how to solve these problems continued to depress me because I felt like I wasn't making good use of time and there wasn't much I could do.
Few weeks into december a friend @yourmercury introduced me to steemit. On december 25th I started blogging and right from that moment everything changed. Within weeks of blogging I started earning real money online and I started developing a new hobby. My way of thinking improved and the I started solving my problems bit by bit. I joined a steemit community #steembenin created by my buddy @jaff8 and made friends with great minds like @estheromoyiwola and a host of many others . steemit helped me in purchasing a phone which I now use mainly for steemit related purposes.
All thanks to @damarth and many other kind steemians for their upvotes I've been able to start saving funds for my school fees and textbooks and hopefully I'll achieve my target soon.
When I resolve all these issues hopefully I wish to start investing here on steemit and when I'm big enough I will bring up different platforms to give back to the steemit community.
Steemit community has shown me that I can become a part of a revolution and I'm glad for that.

When I saw this post from @damarth I said wow he realy loves to hear changing stories of steemians. Remembered when he came to my blog to read my life changing story after i started steemit and he upvoted, that was my highest paid out since I started and I was realy happy. God bless you more @damarth. I love your heart.
Back to my changing story. Life before steemit was not smooth, a young girl and an undergraduate. I could hardly get what I wanted but i had no choice than to be contented. Life was rough trust me. Now am resuming school tomorrow, I have been able to get some new clothes, pay some bills and helped my siblings to get food stuffs at home and my elder sister I introduced to steemit is so happy, now she is getting some money to pay for numerous projects she has in mind and also help the family stabilize and also planning to get a means so that my siblings can also make life out from steemit and also impact their community as @damarth had shown us. . . Steemit is helping lives.
STEEMIT THANKYOU
DAMARTH Thankyou for making me happy about your heart for human.
indeed a good chance! It changes a lot of people's lives completely, by giving them changes to support their studies or just giving them a way to express themselves!
Beautiful thoughts are connected to one another and share love, joy and happiness. I have seen a group of incredible steemians of all, and it is almost impossible to see them more excited about anything other than steemit! I think this will be a blessing for me at the beginning of this year, I am amazed at what you say @damarth, I keep following you, and I hope you follow me @sierenvl
I joined Steemit October last year after losing some money due to error in judgement. I didn't expect to make rewards, because I wasn't very social. But I later saw that good contents what was matters the most here.
With my Steemit earnings I have been able to Install a solar system at home. The epileptic power supply here does not worry me much anymore.
I am also happy for some I introduced to the platform. One was able to get a laptop with his Steemit earnings, about three of them were able to get good smartphones. The last just started a poultry with his steemit earnings. All these bring joy to my heart. It shows steemit really impacts in people's lives.
My Steemit Story
First things first Steemit is extremely impressive, second the platform is unique, I love the platform because for the first time I joined a social media network site that rewards the members not just by posting blogs but also by commenting to someone's blog post.
Steemit changed my life, the hobby was changed first I was addicted to the famous social media we all knew which is the Facebook because it helps me communicating with love ones, expresses my feelings and ideas on it, reading post and watching videos of people around the world. It is also helpful for my business to be seen and advertised worldwide. The Facebook platform is awesome and is helpful to all people if use it for good.
The Difference
Facebook doesn't pay members for using, sharing contents and I saw there are lots of quality contents contributed by its users compared to #steemit we members are rewarded with crypto currency called SBD & Steem which is convertible to cash using some exchanges platform or trading program.
Crypto currency is the future of money and I believed that we are still an early bird to this trend and we are lucky of being an early bird because we have big chance to earn more and that a reward for being early.
Goal
It is to share this platform to all people for us to help them change their life the way this platform help changes our lives. The goal is to share & educate our friends, families and neighbors what this platform is all about.
Thank you for the inspiration @damarth you're an inspiration to all of us especially for newbies. Shout out also to @outhori5ed and congrats, you had been choosen by @damarth and was featured on his/her post.
Thank you for reading this comment of mine I hope this contributes to this platform! Have a great day and looking forward for your future contents.
My steemit Story is one i always talk about everywhere I go.
Steemit for my didn't happen by accident, It came when I was really in search for personal fulfillment, I have tried several online medium but now could give me the feeling I seek. I tried forex trading but I couldn't get that fulfillment even thou I could get some cash out.
Then suddenly my forex instructor @keban told me about steemit, I knew it was it, I knew it was what I have been looking for, I quickly when for it and in few weeks I registered over 50 people.
Now I can say i'm happy because I see life being change daily, I see people i introduced expressing themself and also getting some cash out at the end of the day. This is a life time experience, I look forward to exploring the steem blockchain.
As someone who has just hit thirty years old with no job, no wife (only girlfriend), no kids etc, Steemit has been a way to let me save and get additional things to help out like a new PC for my programming.
The money was always a bonus, I quickly found the community to be amazing and full of wonderful people and I was able to start making some awesome new friends. Never has a social media/blogging site been so amazing in general.
Without mincing words, without any iota of doubt. Steemit is the real deal. I have lost my interest in writing but Steemit brought it back. I always rave in most of my posts on how Steemit has helped me.
I learned about the value of relationship on Steemit. I have learned more how to place appropriate value on relationships. This community is all about love, care, sharing and HONOUR, and it helps in making you give your best at all times.
I learned about not being lazy and this involve in reading a post to the letter and in commenting.
I learned i am not just here for the reward pool but to learn as well. Wow...this community has the monopoly of knowledge. You get to read things from different angles and perspectives, even things above your jurisdiction which you might naturally need a level 12 clearance for in other platforms hahahahaha. I try to read and absorb as much as i could...and that is why i have been able to learn about Crytpocurrencies which i have never heard of before Steemit. I was confused at first. Hahaha.
I learned about being deliberate about making impacts and touching lives. If you have not been "wired" like that before to know how to live your life, Steemit will open you to what you have been ignoring since; living for others.
You stop focusing on self and think of the greater good, be honest and deliberate about it.
Steemit teaches you about patience. In full flow haha. Everything is in stages and you have to queue and learn like everyone else. With over 4,000 friends on Facebook and large numbers on Instagram, i came here as a newbie. Enh...yes...newbie. I queued. I learned. I was patience to start from the scratch and learn how it works here that is why if you come just for the money without having your mindset flexible enough to adapt, it is easy to quit. My introductory post fetched me 0.12. I still get less than $1 on some posts too. Still learning, still being patient.
This community is still growing like you said sir and i am excited about it.
Haiiiiii @damarth.

Hi guys tho i am few weeks old here, i can never forget my first sbd on steemit and that came from @damarth, i really have not understood what steemit was all about but i just enjoy doing it and i started my creativity of thinking wide bringing out new content out of me, i really did not believe i can withdraw the money tho and i waited and start posting my daily post and doing it to keep body and mind together that was after a committed love heart break story i got from my ex girlfriend on a short run 7days after i got my first paid out it was a magic i swear to God i begin to imagine how this is done and started putting more effort to it and inviting people to steemit, when @damarth got is 3000thousand followers i check what he has been doing to have this amount of followers the key #word was hard work, ofcourse steemit need more time to be spend on and the more you spend reading people bloqs the more you comment and upvote the more you get your steem dollar and i believe steemit is going to get me my first power bike in a less period of time, thanks to steemit and thanks to the boss @damarth for his kindness, more followers bro keep the good work
