Congratulations Dan! So happy about your well-deserved success!
Your list seems like the who-is-who of Steemit, thank you so much for including me!
I have often gotten quite frustrated thinking that Steemit is just an insiders voting club, but I have met so many great people here and success stories like yours really keep my motivation up!
Btw, I had a look at the profiles of some of the Steemians you mentioned and for @kr41nn it says "user not found", you've probably got a typo there.
Man, you have been travelling for so long! I will hit the road again next month and travel in Morocco and Spain for four weeks. Really looking forward to that!
Julian
Thanks for your nice words! I am already quite happy with how fast my account is growing; It was only some weeks ago that I was happy to have my posts sitting at over 1$; Now, many of my posts are worth around 5$, and I haven't even posted many longer posts yet!
I have realized how important the social element is, but I feel like there is a great community here on Steemit, I met so many amazing people already.
It would be great to meet you in person somewhere in the world! It will be some time until I will make it back to Latin America, but in August I will leave Germany to travel and study in Asia for half a year.
That would be amazing, you are very welcome to visit me in Germany! Btw, did you get my message in Discord?
