For 2 months now I've been using Steemit and what a ride it has been. Sign up at the time gave me 5 steem power and that was huge back then, join and have value. 1000 steem power at time seemed like a hard goal for the main reason that steem was 4 dollars. 1000 steem would worth 4.000 dollars.
I also did invest some of my own bitcoin when 1 steem coin was 2 dollars. I bought 165 steem and powered that up. If i waited today to buy i would have 600 but what can you do. Steemit is a great project to invest in, specially now when it is at this low price.
Few tips i would like to give those who are struggling is to stay positive, we all had bad days here where our great blogs did not do well. Never give up and self improvement are 2 two main traits you need to have to make it here if you are not a famous person, or a long time experienced blogger.
I'm a dude from Croatia who never did any blogging before, english is not even my main language, but here I am with 1000 steem power. I could be an example for everyone that your time on steemit is well worth it.
I love reading blogs and seeing everyone grow from minnows to larger minnows. I Never had any argument with anyone, I just stayed in chill mode and had fun, and will continue like that in the future. I might even go to Steemit Amsterdam fest.
There are so many great people on this platform and i only wish to have more time to read all the posts. Big thanks to all of my followers, without you this would not be possible.
hello @moon32walker thanks for telling us your story !! well done and its great to see that it has worked for you as indeed it can for anyone anywhere when they persevere and don't let the downs get them away from the highs !! Steem On !!
Indeed. Well said, everyone can make it. Also one thing to add, this is just beta, there is no better place on internet to be than here.
you are the [email protected] have totally understood the potential and indeed you are already reaping the benefits !! great to hear this positivity right now !! heart warming !! So gooooo and Steem On !!
Nice:) Stay chill and possitive))
Very good post @moon32walker and I am glad for you!
This is the long game : posting, upvoting and comenting....like this you will grow.
It is a good thing that you invested too and now it is a good time to reinvest.
If i had some bitcoin in my hand right now i would buy 500 steem just like that and power up. You can't go wrong if you invest something you can spend.
That would be awesome
Great post, you have a new follower
Awesome man. Dont forget me when your a whale. The random guy who said job.
Good post and encouraging too
Wouldn't that be a crazy story, becoming a whale.. Dolphin possible, whale highly unlikely :)
Do it !
Me and @dummar022 are planning to go :)
Congratulations @moon32walker! :)
Tnx, stay cool.
Great stuffs
From minnow to fat minnow. Slow process but we are moving up the ranks.
Good stuff man. Love your posts. 1000 - you're (Steem) powering ahead.
I do think that it is the best to hoard more steem power as the platform is still young, later who knows on what moon we will end up.
It can be frustrating at times. Especially after you put in so much effort and only have 3 to 4 persons read your article. In fact I wrote an article about how minnows frustrated are. But I believe in Steemit and so I am here for the long term
Yeah it can be frustrating at times but every day is a new day. We live in the now so if you are happy now that is all that maters. Results will come in the long run.
Thanks defo agree with "Never give up and self improvement" are important traits. Im only on 150 SP it is hard journey but whats learnt on the way is worth more than the SP. Anyways well done so far =)
Journey is what matters the most, but that extra steem power never hurt no one.
Great success story, thanks for sharing your experience!
From nothing to something. Everyone can do it, that is why steemit is revolutionary and will go places.
hi! do i need steem power to vote?
is it only by bitcoin anyone can buy steem?
You can vote as long as you have your voting power recharged. Consider it like a phone battery.
Only by bitcoin and steem dollars.
Love this cover of Crazy Train also
great post
That one made my day. Banjo Crazy Train. Love it.
Excellent post, and great attitude. I've been writing here for a month and a half, and I'm getting close to that 1,000 SP goal myself. I haven't bought any....it's all been through earnings from my writing and curation rewards. If you're consistent about writing and curating here, you can build yourself up to 1,000 SP in two or three months, without buying any extra SP. It's totally doable.
Absolutely, everyone can make it to 1000 SP just by being active and positive.
