I have reached 5,000+ comments on the Steem blockchain, so I guess I’m officially a Steem addict now!

Steem and Steemit still feels very fresh to me, but as a matter of fact, I’ve been on this site for well over a year now, and apparently written over 5,000 comments+posts on the blockchain! I don’t check my post count all that often, but when I saw my profile this morning I quickly saw that I had hit the magic 5,000 mark. I guess there’s nothing really special about it, but it really goes to show just how many people I have had the pleasure of talking and discussing with, and how easily I get totally sucked into the blockchain and spend my time here.

I have been joking about the fact that I’m addicted to writing posts and commenting on Steemit, but I would think that this post count milestone really shows that it’s not really a joke anymore. I'm officially a Steem addict. At least it's a lot better than being addicted to Facebook or any other social medias where you don't get paid, and also might get censored if the owners don't like what you have to say.

It has been a very nice journey so far, but we’re far from the end!

I have really been enjoying my time on Steem(it), and I can’t even begin to mention all the people I have had great conversations with. Steemt is really revolutionizing when it comes to social interactions, and I believe that the reputation system as well as potential monetary rewards often brings out the best in people. Sure, some people fight over rewards, but at the end of the day most of us are still friends with each other.

I’ very excited to see how many new people I will get to know in my next 5,000 posts, because as I said, this is only the beginning of my Steem adventure! So join me in staying active on the Steem blockchain, and together we can make this community even better.

Thanks to everyone who have taken the time to write great replies to me, or who have commented on my posts to spark discussions!

Gratulerer så masse med over 5000 poster og kommentarer @Valth
Skal en del til for å være så aktiv :)
Skal ta meg sammen og være enda flinkere til å skrive og poste på min egen profil i tiden fremover. OBN tar en del tid, men viktig å ikke glemme sin egen profil oppe i det hele.
Gleder meg masse til å få møte deg når vi har vår første meet-up :)

Mvh
@Gyldenhorn

Takk for det, @gyldenhorn.

Ja, jeg har brukt rimelig mye tid på Steemit for å nå en slik mengde poster og kommentarer. Men det artige med det er at jeg tydelig ser resultatet i forhold til hvor mye aktivitet og kommentarer det er på postene jeg legger ut da, så det er i alle fall verdt det for min del :)

Ser for meg at det går mye tid til OBN ja. Mitt intrykk er i alle fall at det er du som står bak de fleste kommentarene som skrives som svar på kommentarene dere får på postene deres, så da er det nok fort gjort å "glemme" sin egen profil litt. Men jeg ser jo at du har begynt å få noen skikkelig heftige utbetalinger på postene dine da, så du må ikke glemme profilen din helt til fordel for OSB ;)

I like måte; det skal blir artig å møte deg og de andre som har meldt seg opp til treffet.

Hilsen @valth

Many congrats to you my friend on achieving this milestone. And I don't think that its a bad thing to get addicted to steemit.
Its surprising to see how steemit is becoming an essential part of our every day life. The community effect is so strong and amazing here.

Thank you, @xabi! No, a Steemit addiction is probably the best type of addiction to get ;)

Yeah, the community here is great! I originally came for the technology and the rewards, but I'm definitely staying for the community. I don't think I would bother to write so many posts if it had not been for the fact that you guys are here to ask questions, tell me about your own experiences, and encourage me to keep going.

5,000 post + comments reveal your hard work and dedication toward this community. It's so nice of you, you want to develop own community here which you mentioned in your every post. Thanks for educating us and giving all the followers enough time for commenting on his post. May you have many more in near future.
Yes i often think sometime steemit make you addict, But it's not a bad addiction at all. Isn't tit?

Thanks for educating us and giving all the followers enough time for commenting on his post.

You're welcome :) And thanks for leaving so many good comments on my posts, @kamchore. It really means a lot to me!

Yes i often think sometime steemit make you addict, But it's not a bad addiction at all. Isn't tit?

No, it's one of the best addictions in my opinion. If you get too addicted the worst that will happen is that you make a lot of money from it ;)

thanks for leaving so many good comments on my posts, @kamchore.

You made me day by your words. Thanks for the encouragement.

you make a lot of money from it ;)

Don't know about money. Yes spending a lot of tiem will help you to get good reward from this amazing community. But in my case, being newly married i can face different consequences:P like scolding of wife:). Just kidding. Cheers

Haha, better be careful about not spending too much time here then! An angry wife does not sound like fun at all.

lolz. Thanks for your concern:). Yes it's tough to handle angry wife. Luckily my job is away from my home. Living alone give me a lot of time for steem. My family will join me at my job place a couple of month latter, than the real test will start:P. I hope i will manager it easily. Let's hope for the best:)

Hehe, I bet I will see you around much less once they move in then :P

hahahhahaha.....you will win the bet undoubtedly:P. frankly speaking when i go to home, i rarely use this community, but i always try to comments on post where i learn some thing new, so hopefully i will be available for learning more stuff from people like you. May be i am succeeded to divert my family attention towards this amazing community:) Wish me good luck my friend:)

Congrats! Big achievement! I only have 1712 post so, better keep commenting on.

Thank you! That's not a bad number though :) But commenting is a lot of fun, and there are many interesting posters here, so it goes by really easy. And it's a nice way to build more followers.

Great achievement @valth
may there be many more to come!!
In my little time on here I have enjoyed the posts you have done tremendously and learnt some new things in the process. WIN WIN i say!!

Thanks! Yeah, I'm sure there will be more; I'm only getting more and more people who I am actively discussing with, so I bet I'll hit 10k comments a lot faster than it took me to get to 5k.

I'm glad to hear that you have been enjoying my posts! It really means a lot to me to hear people say things like that :)

Yes its amazing how quickly they accrue i have 205/6 now with this post. Not bad for just under two weeks

I agree, that's not bad for only two weeks! It adds up really fast once you get going :)

Hey! I haven't been able to get on in the last couple days because of my internet, but when I saw this on your blog line ups, I had to say Congrats! This is like another milestone for you. I'm not sure if you would call it being an addict, but it shows that you are very dedicated, plus, you can tell that you put in a great effort with every post. Each one is very professional and well cited (something I'm still going to have to improve on myself...) Either way, glad to hear all is going well! take care.

Thank you, @thegreatlife!

I do my best to make the posts as good as possible, but I'm always trying to improve, so let me know if you have any suggestions for what I can do better as well :)

Absolutely. I'll call out the posts I'd like to see as I see the opening for them. Hopefully within your domain of expertise.

Good to hear that you got some achievement here on steemit and meet some awesome people as well. You are very right that our time spend on this social media is far batter than any other social website like Facebook and the difference is that STEEMIT paid you for your original content.

I also loving this platform. I have joined this network one and half months ago and I found this platform much batter than any. This is what I'm still here not getting fed up at all.

the difference is that STEEMIT paid you for your original content

It's amazing, isn't it? :D

It's great to have you here on Steemit, @ikrahch :) Let's hope you won't get fed up anytime soon!

Hey @valth ! Meet another Steemit addict :-) A great I believe that Steemit is a unique experiment and we are all in the same boat! Let's see where it takes us but however I remain an optimist. There is also the SMT coming with APPICS as the first one so maybe the future will reserve us nice surprises!

It's nice to meet another Steemit addict, @alketcecaj! I agree with what you're saying, and it will certainly be exciting to see where the SMTs will take us :)

You are addict And never give up...

I'm not planning on giving up Steemit for a long time ;)

Congratulations on the 5000+ comments you have made :) I believe we will go further than this community with you, you have always given us some good gifts at the steem platform. .
@valth

Thanks!

wow!! That's very good you're reach 5000+ comments it's really goOd to see. Yeah! this is milestone you're spent many times here and do hard work!!

You're right this @STEEMIT platform is more better rather than facebook or any other social medias. I also like to spend time here and read your post about nature and you give us knowledge with that's great.

I'm glad that you have learned more stuff about nature, @sanach :)

Keep it up! It sure is fun and addicting:) Glad youre enjoying the ride as well! :)

I will :) Yeah, Steemit is really addicting fun!

Hi valth.. Congrats dear.. I am busy with my kids annual exams nowadays not posting much only communicating with you or two others i think.. Have a nice journey ahead.. As per my experirnce hard work always paid.. You are doing good and delevering good content.. God bless you

Best of luck to your kids then!

As per my experirnce hard work always paid

I have the same experience. If we want to succeed, the best way to make sure of this is by working hard ;)

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, @biyanoor!

Impressive! I wonder, is there a way of differentiating the count between blogs and comments under the post label? Combining the number seems odd to me.

I agree, it would be nice if the Steemit UI separated them. There is currently no way to tell them apart on Steemit.com, you there are tagged as different classes, so other websites can tell us the real number, such as SteemitBoard. It seems that I have written 217 posts and 4,865 comments :)

wow its really nice haha steemit is addiction but it is a good addiction of getting more information and discover new things.. <3

Yeah, a Steemit addiction is the best type of addiction we can have ;)

haha totally agreed :p

I thought FB is the addiction app but after stating Steemit I can understand I was wrong... ;)

Hehe, Steemit is a hundred times more addicting than Facebook, at least for me :)

well i thnk steem is the best addiction any one can have

Hehe, yeah, it's probably among one of the best types of addiction.

Wow you have been working hard 😓 that’s a lot of work to get that high.... Great job keep it coming....👍👏👏👏🎉🎊

Yeah, it has taken it's fair share of time to get to this point! But it goes really fast once you find some interesting people to interact with :)

haha i can relate. its not very easy to stay away from it once you had your hands on steemit

Yeah, exactly! After having been away from Steemit for some hours, I begin to miss it already :P

I am one day old on steemit but still find it addictive as I am always scrolling my feeds on steemit during the office houra..luckily my boss is not aware of it

Haha, I hope your boss does not find out then! ;) Welcome to Steemit, @rehankhan. Please let me know if you have any questions about how things work around here.

Congratulations dear @valth i hope you enjoy the steem blockchain platform.......go ahead and carry on????

Thank you :)
