RE: I'm leaving STEEM Blockchain in 21 days, if I don't see Minimum 2000 True STEEMians participating in STEEM Seven77 ($7.77) Challenge on Twitter. Thank you

Hi @nathanmars

I'm sorry to hear of your mood and feelings towards Steem and the community today and would like to say a few things to try to encourage you and put the seven77 movement into perspective.

Yesterday, 5310 different authors made a top level post on Steem.

I am willing to say that conservatively, half of the accounts that posted are alternate personal accounts or community accounts - I posted from 3 accounts yesterday, and know of at least 3 other members who posted with at least two accounts.

Secondly, of those that are individuals here on Steem, many do not wish to share their identity in a video, or tie any other social media to their Steem account.

Thirdly, we have to account for people without twitter accounts, or without the technology /data+bandwidth/ understanding to record and upload a video to Twitter each day.

For these reasons, I believe that the fact you have gotten around 650 people to take part in the seven77 movement is an amazing result, and you should be proud of this fact. #seven77 has easily been the biggest drive of engagement on a social media network, promoting Steem, outside of Steem.

I wish you well, whatever you decide to do and want to thank you for driving Steem forward.

Asher

This makes so much sense to me, especially

individuals here on Steem, many do not wish to share their identity in a video

And I said as much to @nathanmars on Twitter. I admire his commitment and tenacity and what he has achieved. At the risk of seeming patronising and using cliches: Rome wasn't built in a day, and different strokes for different folks.

And, Nathan, I join Asher in wishing you well, whatever you decide to do. Should you go, Steemit will be the poorer.

Thanks for the reply @fionasfavourites

I'm glad to hear Nathan has heard similar already, his effort has been huge and i can understand the feeling of dejection and tiredness when you put so much into something and the results are not as you wish.

As above though, I think the reasons are out of our control, and feel that what has already been achieved is worth celebrating.

Rome wasn't built in a day, and different strokes for different folks.

Sometimes cliches like the ones above help to give focus.
