Hello Stemians,
With my business and innovation techonology design background, I enjoy researching about different cryptocurrencies I see valuable, and after the following recent research I made, I believe that we are closer to see STEEMIT start climbing, and skyrocket sooner or later. And here are a good amount of reasons why.
1- STEEM Token Undervalued
2- STEEMIT has been receiving several positive Mentions from reknown platforms
3- There is lot of organic Publicity and people writing and spreading the word about STEEMIT
4- There is advertising being made on facebook and google
5- STEEMIT has an IMPORTANT goal that many of us, our parents, grand parents, and much older ancestors have been dreaming and figthing for: FREEDOM. And this is a powerful silent force that creates a strong synergy within every person in the STEEMIT community
6- The SMTs developments
7- Some say it is the Social network that will monetize the internet
REASON #1: STEEM Token Undervalued
Lets start with the first one, the STEEMIT token is near $1.02 USD now and number 22 token in the list of most marketcap. The STEEMIT platform is a real thing, people are enjoying and being rewarded to make posts, create content, comment on it and curate content. People are able to earn crypto wihtout any investment, just their precious time, by creating great content and rewarding others for creating quality content. The community has hindreds of thousands of active users, which many are contributing to help it grow, and sooner or later the numbers will skyrocket, its my belief.
There are lots of other tokens above steemit in marketcap and some are only a promise or are in concept stage, so this is also another signal of the token being undervalued. It is pergaps a matter of discovery by people, of stop being skeptical and give it a try. Any person can get started on STEEMIT without investing a cent, so why not five it a try? When people try, they are here to stay, I believe there are very few that try and leave it aside. Once the platform is given an opportunity, after some time, rewards start flowing.
Lots of us started to get excited about posting on steemit, and all the interesting things we can learn. So we can think for ourselves and say why not telling about this great platform to family, friends and collegues. Many may feel skeptical if we tell them how easy is to get rewarded when high quality content is made, so I believe we should tell them about other great learning aspects in the community, and let money rewards come at the end or if they ask about it.
Let me have @gyldenhorn discuss this with you in a great post he made on how to introduce STEEMIT to friends: https://steemit.com/norway/@gyldenhorn/how-to-introduce-steemit-to-your-friends
With all this being said I invite you to read this excellent post from @cryptographic , were he mentions why he has bought more STEEM and powered up: https://steemit.com/introducemyself/@cryptographic/why-i-powered-up-and-why-you-should-too . I am following @cryptographic closely with his great quality analysis on crypto.
We have people like @ackza that get 1 new person at a time on STEEMIT. Check his post here were he helped a guy with $20 dollars and made him be signed up on STEEMIT. https://steemit.com/money/@ackza/met-a-teenager-while-driving-home-who-needed-some-busfair-gave-him-a-ride-and-usd20-cash-and-got-him-signed-up-on-steemit-you
And other people like @tytran which is involved in sports and contests on STEEMIT, that makes the perfect slogan for @ackza : "@ackza: Changing the face of the world one person at a time. Steem On. "
All this and later mentions I am doing are signs of the great connection and help within the STEEMIT community. All working together, to improve, develop and spread the word about this great community and blockchain technology that is empowering people, giving the power to whom deserves, and leaving useless the centralizing power of governments and banks.
I can't leave reason #1 without giving mention to @bigsilver which is providing quality posts to motivate the STEEMIT community, something he practices in his career. Check one of his latest posts about the persue of the million dollars: https://steemit.com/money/@bigsilver/it-s-easier-than-ever-you-just-need-to-know-where-to-look
REASON #2: STEEMIT has been receiving several positive Mentions from re-known platforms
I read a great post yesterday from @jrcornel were he mentions Steemit.com the social media site, Steem the token, and SMTs (Smart Media Tokens) have been in the press quite a bit. Over 10 different known sites like: blocktribune.com, observer.com, the-blockchain.com, wired.com, econotimes.com, huffingtonpost.com. On this post he mentions to pay special attention to the last one regarding the huffingtonpost.com: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/4-ways-blockchain-is-rapidly-revolutionizing-the-gaming_us_59d3e353e4b0da85e7f5ec5c
This one is related to gaming and blockchain mixing together. The gaming industry has projections to be a $109 Billion dollar industry in te current year 2017, according to the Newzoo's Global Games Market Report. @jrcornel mentions he doesn't want to throw any projections or numbers out there, but imagine would that could mean for Steemit.com and Steem if it were to eventually capture just 5% of that market, or say just 10 percent?
Here is the post in case you would like to see with more detail: https://steemit.com/steemit/@jrcornel/steemit-steem-and-smts-are-catching-some-major-press
REASON #3: There is starting to increase organic Publicity and people writing and spreading the word about STEEMIT
Here I want to make special attention to what @andrewmcmillen wrote in wired about a week ago. Here he writes about how STEEMIT is a social platform were people add their quality content, blog and comment, for a piece of cryptocurrency (STEEM and STEEM Dollars), which both can be exchanged for Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other crypto, that can be changed to fiat currency like USD or other country currencies.
https://steemit.com/steemit/@andrewmcmillen/my-story-about-steemit-for-backchannel-the-social-network-doling-out-millions-in-ephemeral-money
All this type of actions that people in the valuable community of STEEMIT are doing, will sooner or later make the value to climb.
Early adopters like @craig-grant posting several videos per day of the actions he is taking with crypto's, such as buying altcoins with the earnings generated from Bitcoin. In this one he shows he is buying 4,000 steem with 1 bitcoin. https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@craig-grant/1-bitcoin-to-buy-4000-steem
I am sure, several other investors like @craig-grant will come to the community and invest after they realize their potential, and that is when the climbing will start with no interruptions. What are your thoughts?
Persons like @cryptoeagle sharing how Olaf Carlson-Wee is sharing about Bitcoins to millenials: https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@cryptoeagle/living-breathing-and-betting-on-bitcoin-msm-coverage-by-vice-news . I recommend you to follow @cryptoeagle since in addition to his quality posts, he also resteems great quality content that is helping me learn a lot of cryptocurrencies.
@futuristgear with innovative quality posts about different tokens, technologies, and what is going on with crypto's in different countries to mention some of his content contributions. Definitely a person that will help you learn about crypto and technology innovations. His latest post about Busy.org: https://steemit.com/busy/@futuristgear/the-busy-org-tipping-feature-awesome-idea
@hilarski is a very active person on the STEEMIT community. You will enjoy reading his quality posts. He enjoys the cryptocurrency journey. Take a look at this post he made about a STEEMIT article on the wired magazine. More publicity! https://steemit.com/steemit/@hilarski/steemit-article-on-wired-magazine
REASON #4: There is advertising being made on facebook and google
This is very connected with the previous reason about publicity. I was reading @andrewmcmillen post the other night and gave my comment on it, and when I woke up the next day I saw @jerrybanfield taking the initiave to place payed adds on Google and Facebook, to spread the word even further about the publicity and story from @andrewmcmillen . And here is what @jerrybanfield did. He made special ads to promote the story to even more people. Here is his post:
https://steemit.com/steemads/@jerrybanfield/ads-for-wired-com-story-featuring-steemit-on-facebook-and-google
If we think for a second, could something tell me or can think of another cryptocurrency or blockchain technology that has a solid community as STEEMIT all working as one, to make it achieve its goals of giving FREEDOM to the world, and puting control, wealth and power on the hands of people, that is were it belongs?
This is were the next reason comes.
REASON #5: STEEMIT has an IMPORTANT goal that many of us, our parents, grand parents, and much older ancestors have been dreaming and figthing for: FREEDOM. And this is a powerful silent force that creates a strong synergy within every person in the STEEMIT community.
Here is were the powerful post of @teamsteem come to life: https://steemit.com/joy/@teamsteem/welcome-to-steem
Here teamsteem speaks about the reasons steemit was created, which I have saved in my mind in a few words.
FREEDOM will come first.
Biggest redistribution of wealth to people.
Taking the governments and banks to the side, and empowewing people.
If not sure, you should follow @d-pend with his smart poetry he is inviting thousands of people to the STEEMIT community. Here is a link to one of his latest poems: https://steemit.com/poem/@d-pend/a-person-a-pencil-a-perception
And here is a link to a quality post he made today about STEEMIT. More publicity on the way: https://steemit.com/steemit/@d-pend/is-steemit-the-place-to-get-something-for-nothing
And @cryptoviking sharing his believes of buying opportunities, like this post: https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@cryptoviking/great-buying-opportunity . If we think about this, which other great community as STEEMIT shares the strategies, and opportunities, knowledge than STEEMIT. I do not know or have an answer. Do you?
@g-dubs is a person giving great contribution and sharing quality content such as great opportunities for crypto investments. Here is one of his latest posts: https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@g-dubs/the-big-opportunity-in-bitindia . I would definitely recommend to following closer.
Your thoughts on STEEMIT? On STEEM? How can some people be skeptical on a cryptocurrency that can be earned without any investment, just our time.
If there are persons like @thetruth36 with his experience investing on altcoins, that invests on crypto were investment is needed, how can other people are bit more skeptical and do not give it a try on STEEMIT which there is no investment needed to earn rewards. @thetruth36 has been succesful several times and sharing his success and learnings to the community. Check out this post were he made 10x on Regalcoin: https://steemit.com/regalcoin/@thetruth36/regal-coin-loan-usd840-and-coin-is-now-worth-usd10
Lets make it even easier. When we are on FACEBOOK or other social platforms, by using it and participating on it, we are enriching the owners, and its stakeholders. And in BIG contrast when we participate on STEEMIT, we are empowering our felow STEMIANS, and ourselves, again giving the power to people. Isn't this amazing? Who of us could think about this 2 years ago, or even before STEEMIT was born, perhaps a few, and the ones who started it, but the rest of us?
Yes, it may seem out of this world, that the power is on us, and that the platform is letting the word to be heard and spread.
@zer0hedge sharing and creating quality posts every day. One that I personally like to mention is the one of the most important Banks talking about Bitcoin: https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@zer0hedge/the-big-banks-are-coming-for-bitcoin . I definitely recommend you to follow him
Incredible but true! To the first 1,000,000 users for STEEMIT. I remember the Facebook movie when every person on Facebook was waiting to see the user number 1 million. It was their victory, of the company, but now, when we reach 1 million, its for all the STEMIANS who are actively participating and contributing. And we will make it soon, hopefuly by the end of this year, or who knows if before.
For intance @marco-delsalto which likes to share videos of known people taking about Bitcoin, and he also posts quality posts about techonologies, which is something very interesting for me. https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@marco-delsalto/jim-cramer-on-merck-bitcoin-nvidia-netflix-disney-procter-and-gamble-and-more-investing-advice-by-wallstreet
REASON #6: The SMTs developments
I will let @ned to be watched and read here, were he explains very well how is the future coming with the SMTs. https://steemit.com/steem/@ned/explainer-value-flows-on-steem-with-smts-video
He mentions several drivers that will take place with the SMTs. Here are 2 of them explained. To know this in more detail you can watch the 7 minute video on his post mentioned above.
1- Increase demand for STEEM as the blockchain's bandwidth token. With STEEM their is no transaction fees to transfer money from one account to another, so holding STEEM gives you certain bandwidth to make transactions. Having more STEEM will allow people to be able to make transactions on all the STEEMIT ecosystem. Sort of demand created for STEEM to act as the gas for this SMTs communities that will be around.
2- Attract new capital to the ecosystem with ICOs. ICOs that will be built directly on the Smart Media Tokens. Everybody will be able to fundraise with a click of a button. When funds go to the ICOs and as long as 100% of the value of STEEM is not sold by the person who does the ICO, then that value is retained by STEEM. He sees fundraising as a great opportunity which many places in the world were fundraising is very difficult.
Also see what @kevinwong wrote about SMTs: https://steemit.com/smt/@kevinwong/in-the-future-everybody-will-have-their-own-cryptocurrency . Here he "believes that everyone will have their own cryptocurrency in the future, but will the token itself be easy to use and more importantly, social? ". He states that: "Steem's Smart Media Tokens are here. With a minimum of $1.00, anyone can now conveniently create their own cryptocurrencies to share their values, and maybe have the chance to grow their social networks beyond the initial investment."
I also recommend you to follow @bitcoinparadise. Take a look what he wrote about SMTs: https://steemit.com/smt/@bitcoinparadise/thoughts-smart-media-tokens-to-the-moon
REASON #7: Some people say it is the Social network that will monetize the internet
Integration of a customizable and system of tokens will be available to large websites or firms, as well as small independent blogs on WordPress. The smart token system (SMTs) will involve remuneration for both publishers and consumers based on their contribution: likes, comments and votes cast. This will be the basis for new revenue streams.

7 reasons to get rid of some more FIAT.
Thanks for telling me this.Looks like my wait time for even cheeper STEEM is now over. :)
@onealfa agreed! FIAT currencies are being devalued all around the world every day in a way it is not noticeable. Crypto has came to our lifes in the right moment and there will be time to celebrate. Freedom is coming sooner or later, and power and control is returning to the hands of people which is were it belongs too. Thanks for your comment, and the resteem!

STOPThank you for bringing my attention to this article!
I completely agree with you on all counts; Steem's quests for a censorship-free system, and its goal to "monetize to internet" makes it a coin with lots of potential.
I urge others to follow the advice in @gold84's article, and buy Steem! And lots of it! If you'd like to, you can check out this old article of mine (posted about two weeks ago) on why STEEM is one of the best investments you can make.
Get it while its low! Upvoted.
@mooncryption great comment, thanks for your support. Will check your post now.
If you think you can reesteem this post, it would be greatly appreciated, so more people now more about the STEEMIT potential. @gold84
You tak the words right out of my mouth @Gold84
This 7-steps of great reasons are just up my ally and I could not agree more whit you.
And I am now planing to to an investment in Steem. Just have to figure out how I can do it from my firm, since we have some strict rules about taxes here in Norway.
Thank you for your mention of my post also. Great to see that someone share mye thoughts.
You have a lot of got articles that I love to read.
Keep up the good work and keep the post coming our way.
Regards
@Gyldenhorn
@gyldenhorn you are welcome. You create quality posts that are adding value to STEEMIT. Great you know you will be powering up on STEEM. I believe it will surprise us all. Hope you find the solution to the taxes in your country. Will continue following your posts closer. Thanks for your support. @gold84
@gyldenhorn have you find out about taxes there in Norway? Today the price of STEEM was 1 and still now. good chance to powerup more. What do you think? @gold84
What an wonderful post and very timely.
I just put in an order for some Steem (waiting for the Bitcoin to go through).
The more I read posts like this, the more I am convinced this is going to be huge. While I am not sure @jerrybanfield is correct with his $1,067 price forecast, I certainly believe Steem will be over $100 within 5 years (probably much sooner).
Thanks for all you hard work on this.
@taskmaster4450 I definitely agree with you! STEEM will climb, not sure about the numbers but 10x and 100x sooner or later it will. Thans for your great comment. @gold84
Great info. Upvoted:Following.
@mikeflow I am glad it was useful. Hope many more people spread the word about the great things STEEMIT has in their mission. Thanks for your comment and support. @gold84
Great post. Lots of mentions and positives. Steemit is going to be one of the future platforms adding another block to a great foundation blockchains. Followed, Upvoted, Resteemed
@gsargeant thanks for your comment and positive thoughts about STEEMIT and from spreading the word on this. @gold84
Honestly these system is the only platform I believe the most. I want to buy even 100,000 steem to power but at the moment I dont have such money.... I'm broke.
@cloudspyder I agree with you. You can start powering up with what you have and the system will continue rewarding you with all your quality contributions. Thanks for your comment. @gold84
Great post! 1m Steemians will be here before you know it.
@g-dubs agreed! Thanks for your comment. @gold84
That's quite a post you have there, lots of info...
@glennolua thanks for your support and for reading. Hope it is usefull.
I have been checking some of your past posts and I will definitely mention you in any of my future posts. @gold84
Advice taken! Nice information @gold84!
THANKS man for mentioning me and @tytran ! Man i also got a golos user to mention me in a article too ! But man this is a good start you made bank on this post man! Im slackin and need to start catching up!
yeah I have the same dollar amount in my account for months now cuz as i went from like 1500 steempower to 2400 steempower price of steem doped from like $2 to $1 so its like im still here im at, feels weird, BUT i know stem will go back up and its the STEEM im getting paid thats important here! And i will just have to work harder!
good idea! good post just add more photos! my eyes hurt seeing so much text but adding a photo or graphic at least once per every id say.... 10 to 15 lines, 15 lines of text MAX before u need at least one more photo! Thats all man!
eventually u can get into the advanced formatting of text which will Relay make things nice! we will have full on newspaper type articles!
I will one day use my steemit account to pay investigative reporters via my own up votes where they ask for Upvotes 7 days in advanced of their trip, so they can get the money from the up vote to pay for plane ticket 7 days later and as theyre in country they can post and make money off the posts from my upvotes, it will be so legit i cant wait to be a steemit and golos whale it is just like the most amazing power trip but not in a bad sense... you get to become like a newspaper editor! It will simply be a place you want to be, making money off of upvoting
I cannot WAIt to start working hard liek today! I woke up at 4AM went RIGHt to work havent stopped! Feels good man!
OK back to work!
