I've been a member of this incredible community for more than 2 months now. - Like most of us, I've had my fair share of mistakes.. But I've also had some success. And truth to be told, I've probably been more successful than most of the people on Steemit, even though I'm nothing more than seaweed.
If you don't understand that reference, you've probably not read my previous posts. - However, I consider myself seaweed and I'm in a deep, beautiful ocean where outstanding creatures like dolphins and whale are swimming together.
With that being said, I want you to take a look at this:
I've reached a reputation of 64 and I have more than 300 followers.
I have more than 3000 Steem Power.
However, this is what I'm here to reveal..
This is the actual amount of BTC I've made from most of my Steemit posts. This is my earnings, in BTC. - I've sinned, as I've been withdrawing most of the rewards, and it feels bad.
It was never my intention to bring down Steemit in any way. It was never my intention to hurt you or any other users involved in this fantastic project.. - But truth to be told, I can see now that I've done exactly that.
I'm not a cryptocurrency expert and I have little knowledge about block-chains.. But I do have some understanding, even more now after my previous post. - I've been reading and I've been learning.
- It occured to me that Steem has dropped in value due to people withdrawing their funds. - It's obviously not the only reason, or the accurate answer for the drop, but it still seems to have affected everything, in a negative way.
I've been talking about the $10,000+ posts and that I would love to see such posts again.. - But in reality, it seems like I have to refocus. I have to reset my mind, my thoughts and my wishes. I need to cancel my ongoing feelings.
What I need to do, is to shed even more light upon Steemit. I need to focus on bringing more people to Steemit, and not only regular users. I have to spread the world across the entire world, so investors and people with a long-term commitment starts using Steemit. - That way, the price will increase. That way, those amazing high rewarded posts will come back to us.
That way, we will conquer.
- I know exactly what I will do further on.
First of all, I will not allow any discussion anywhere online, or offline, talking negative about Steemit, SBD or SP without protecting it. - And I can't be everywhere, but if and when I find such discussions I will do everything I can to make it stop and to make people see the truth. - I will share my BTC earnings, my story and my blog posts. I will share my entire journey on Steemit and I will explain to people that Steemit truly changed my life.
I'm sorry if this sounds retarded or childish, but it's the truth. - I have not earned a million and I haven't had the success that some others have had. - I don't consider myself a top steemian or anything like that. - However, what I've got from Steemit goes beyond the earnings. Way beyond.
Personal development and improved writing skills are two things. - Two things that affected me for life. A third thing would be the inspiring stories I've read. I've read stories from people's darkest hours in life.. And I've been laughing at people's stories from their happiest moments in life too. - I've seen things happen on Steemit. - I've seen us (you and me both) helping homeless people. I've seen us do incredible things together, and that's why I will push forward with new goals in mind. - And that's why I will do everything I can to bring more people to Steemit.
I will continue to do everything I've done until now, with one change. I will focus on investors and people with enough beliefs so they work hard for Steemit's survival. - I will spread the word about Steemit so hundreds of people will join because of me. - That's the least I can do.

I do not believe you should feel bad. It would be dishonest of everyone to think that they would be earning something without having the ability to spend it. I have posted in a couple of places telling Steem users to use Shapeshift and jump on OpenBazaar, buy and sell items and use Steem to show listings of art or music and other things. https://steemit.com/steemit/@cryplectibles/openbazaar-takes-steem-list-your-art-or-garage-sale-items-now You can sell items for Steem on a Bitcoin market rather than take Steem from just other Steem users, kind of build up the economy by bringing Bitcoin sold for Steem through a marketplace.
Good to meet you. Nice to see you being honest.
Upvoted. Much success. Look at my contents.
Cool!
Steem ON!
I am brand new in steem it, and the article got me an abstract idea of the project. Thanks
Interesting.
