So close to my experience... I started just to have fun and because I had bought some STEEM tokens to flip.. my friend who isn't on Steemit told me it's a place like Facebook where you can get paid for posting... what? Really? Ok sign me up...
Then as I started getting into it I really started enjoying it.. the people I met.. the information I discovered... unfortunately I wasn't getting any exposure... duh... so I buckled down at all 3 of my other jobs and started investing.. and investing... and more investing.. not much... $20 here... $50 there... I used my tips from work... before I knew it I was spending 5 or 6 hours a day in Steemit.. that's really when I started seeing some value ... I connected with a couple really great people.. got involved in a couple communities.. but I was stool worried because I wasn't making hardly any money... then one day I got a phone call from a lawyer in Florida.. I was fixing to inherit a large chunk of money... life changing money for me... at that point I quit even worrying about how much my post paid... or how much a certain comment was worth..
I have since quit one of the jobs... today is the last day on a second job... I still spend 6-7 hours everyday on Steemit but now I'm doing it because I want to help others.. if this is the year STEEM goes to $100 a coin cool.. if not also cool.. I'm no longer here for the money per se... I'm here because I have made some incredible friends... I'm here to help others.. to try and make this fucked up world a better place for everyone...
My goals for 2018 ... I don't really have any yet.. I have tons of ideas and daydreams... but I'm still in a holding pattern waiting on my money.. no worries.. every day I can scratch one day off off the time that I have to wait to retire for working for the man and start working for myself...
As much as we all want STEEM to go to the moon I'd like to see it stay where it is.. or maybe even drop to $1... so I can buy a bunch of SP...
Peace out ... and now your only 22 followers away from your goal.. better get busy today lol.. good luck in 2018.. I look forward to it just like you do..
