What more have you learned since you join steemit?
Please share your experience, testimonies, answers in the comment section just underneath this post, let's see if Learning isn't the ultimate earning!
There is a ton i have learned on the internet! I have been on it for like forever and for the most part, i was in research-mode.
If there was list of all the search queries that i have ever put into the search engines, over the course of my time on the internet, i am sure it will shock me.
And what exactly have i been researching or why be in research-mode at all?
There has always been a puzzle and there has always been a missing piece.
I am sure you get what i mean! I did go to secular school and had all those secular ambition but within time in the "school of life", other "fields of understanding" happened as well and combined with the expanded scope of reasoning-capacity that i feel complex Maths and English was created for, i was able to establish really quickly, this simple quote of mine:
Many times, the entire Intel (missing piece of our puzzle) that we spend forever seeking, sits as redundant information, in a particular anonymous "head" out there; we need to seek this head and dig it.
Normally, the above process is dead hard! You will need to have looked for a particular head from among the many heads in the world and dig it.
Speaking of heads, no literacy/illiteracy, talented/untalented, genius/non-genius, rich/poor etc involved; for any head can be that head. A pertinent point though is; the information you seek may be of little value to its host, thus, stays in redundancy or a state of redundancy.
Finding this head is a gianormous feat but what when you find this head? Digging this head to touch/mine/sizzle-up/cook-up/erupt etc that very particular spot holding this redundant information and our ever-missing puzzle piece is an even gianormouser feat.
Many times, this could require very technical/thought-provoking/rhetorical/constructive etc art of great conversation as well as many other factors. In some cases, casual/playful conversation will do. In some cases, a heart-reaching conversation will be sufficient. Whatever the case though, will involve an art and very much a conscious art of digging!
Note: this piece of the puzzle can just pop out, thus, you will need to have been consciously in the art of digging to spot the spottables!
Particular Head found?
Note: Every type of head is a potential head!
First, you will have to give this head a chance and give chance at least for a conversation to ensue. Even this part is hard as conversation in itself is very much an art. Rapport, courtesy, playfulness etc even humility will play a role.
Remember that i mentioned "a head" without much regards for the type of head!
If you understand life well, you will understand that no head can be undermined. You may need to sift the good, even from the not-so-good, for there is sense even in nonsense!
Even the seeming lunatic on the roadside can be the host of this head!
Again, the elites of the world who go to the moon to mine the heads of aliens, for solutions to world's unsolved problems, may have skipped the head of an that lowly world-declared illiterate. @surpassinggoogle
Every type of a head has gem in it; it just needs a great diggist (digger)!
Given this head a chance? Time to dig!
Now, is where your search queries (mining parameters) matter like crazy, else you may spend another decade of years, mining this particular head.
Let's assume, "steemit" was the everly-missing-piece of my puzzle!
Yes, eventually i found steemit by means of the search engines but what particular search query did i use to find steemit and where is the list of all the search queries i had used, leading up to finding steemit and how many such attempts did i carry out and just how many decades did it take me?
If you find it; tell me!
Yes, when your friend-head is found and a conversation has ensued e.g chat/voice/comments etc, you will need special parameters in mining this beautiful head.
Well, sometimes it may not take you much effort and that piece that you have spent forever seeking may just pop out but the question is, did you know that something just popped out?
If you were not looking for a Ferrari, a free Ferrari will pass you by you and your eyes will be flirting with the tricycles.
Upon getting on steemit, i instantly saw the ton of things, it had the potential of being! Hahaha, i instantly saw so-so-so many things but one more thing; its potential in holding the INTEL, that entirely internet has spend decades actively seeking online etc
Why?
Steemit does half the job for you. Half the heads of the world in one space, hahaha and very great heads too.
But there is more! It adds a human factor by means of a reputation model, that keeps each one even obliviously, everly in contact with their human-side. Now, it incentivizes this entire process, inciting these great heads or minds+hearts to incessantly (mine) sizzle-up their brains, so that even the redundant spots of these brains are ready to go, once re-incited. Then you come in (on steemit) to see all these beauty play out before you and even with a simple comment, drops the missing piece of the puzzle that you have spent ages and travels and gnashing of teeth, seeking.
So yes!
See, it may have happened and re-happened to you but you just may not have been looking. It is more about how much you see, than how much you look!
It has happened to me in a ton of ways but here is a simple example of what i am discussing:
@stellabelle has long looked to find the elves in her mind. (Assuming that was the ever-missing piece of her puzzle and assuming that means more to her that financial earnings and assuming that she came to steemit mostly to learn about this.) Assuming i am that particular head!; With steemit, she didn't have to scout and search that particular head or even actively dig it because before her, i was incessantly mining my own brain/heart/mind etc and touched on the very redundant information, that may have been the missing piece to her puzzle and it popped out but she could see and she was there to spot the spottables!
There is a ton of reasons for people joining steemit and don't be mistaken, not everyone is here on steemit, solely for the sake of earning. Many perhaps, where got upon steemit to seek to learn or perhaps, to seek the ever-missing piece to their very-complex puzzle, through learning and oh, isn't that the ultimate earning?
Even as minnow and dead-broke and away from family, i got on steemit and i instantly saw a ton of things. I saw many beautiful heads and i was seeking that missing puzzle-piece, like i always have by doing, years on the internet and in the search engines and if i have got that missing piece already, it is simply because of what i saw or how much i saw, upon perching on steemit:
Beautiful heads/minds/hearts/human in incessant rendezvous and potential awesome answers.
Hahaha, i tell you, i did my first attempt at the steemit wallet, maybe after six months of being on steemit. It was around that period too that i found the steemit internal market.
I was dead-broke too but i am a grown man and see: "there was life before steemit!"
I started steem dump into which i was dumping every excerpt of fine resource or seemingly redundant information from reputable great minds of steemit. I saw special gem in this kind of knowledge and a rarity on the internet, because for one, "nobility" as well as staying in tune with "human", was incentivized along with the process of mind-mining! Thus, i created a discord server and kept dumping these Intel there. I wanted to prove that the even a dump containing the excerpts of steemians' minds, can be duggable by world renown elites.
I also attempted to start a library, that i could call my own. At the time, i had attempted to request a pull on the steemit code on github to allow for tags, especially tags mentioned in the comments, to be able to lead into virtual library for each person and for me! I wanted to be able to leave a specialized tag underneath special posts and comments, that would offer a clickable URL, leading into a special library space and one tag i started out then was hashtag "steemitisbeautiful"; which was also the name of my first ever steemit.chat channel as minnow.
I wanted my own library space here on steemit, containing my curation of bookmarks and comment-bookmarks open-sourced as well for everyone to easily dig.
I had an intention to eventually build a steemlab, that will solve at least one real-world-unsolved problem e.g HIV, Cancer etc courtesy of the excerpts of steemian-mined-brains, that i will have mined and re-mined on my own.
It wasn't hard to spot the brain power contained on steemit, especially since the great minds here are incentivized also to maintain morals. I felt it was easily going to be a hub where world-elites, will take off their apparel of glamour and accolades, to take up digging like layman because, this dump has their ever-missing puzzle-pieces!
Since steemit, the days still flew but never emptily by because some form of new knowledge was bound to catch my attention and i tell you even headliners had something to teach.
The earlier steemians were more out to learn. Steem was 7 cents! Each day, there was a "today i learned" post and steemians abound in this movement.
Hahaha, i have some very unreadable posts on steemit. Drafts of my innovation ideas, that are intended to be unreadable. I also wanted a permanent space, where i could save unmet ideas. Steemit was also a place where i could keep dreams alive in dream-bits and i would use my simple tiny posts to encrypt these ideas till they can play out into fruition and so, it didn't matter much if my posts earned much money because ofcourse:
Learning is the ultimate Earning
And there is a ton i learned! There has also been so much evolution in my ability to grasp things because upon reaching steemit, i could instantly see. The entire concept of blockchain, open market etc already existed in the world even many decades ago and is the world still so novice as to spot this simple concepts?
Most of the information the world seeks out there in outerspace is down here in world of humans, so join in here with us and let's get dirty digging!

Why did I join Steemit?
I wish to dare and unashamedly that even ever before anyone conceived the idea of Steemit, I had a steemian in me, lurking and waiting for the opportunity to pop up and then explode into tiny pieces of awesomeness.
On Steemit, I've learned tons in a few months and I'll outline them below
Finally and most importantly, I've learnt from @surpassinggoogle that the blog is greater than the wallet
Indeed, steemit post is more powerful than its wallet. The first real step to earning is to start learning by building strong relationship that last and asking the right question at the right time.
Lastly, make the best use of all learning opportunities!
nice one
Hahaha, isn't this "school of life" on steemit. You spot all the spottables. Let's just stay speechless. I admire you and where you are headed.
I feel honoured to learn from you and drink from your repository of experience and wisdom.
You surpass most high school teachers😁
Before I begin my answer, your cover photo catches my attention Sir. You look like a rising star in NBA like my sister's idol Lebron James and for sure more and more ladies after you because you are amazing from within how much more if you wear uniform like that. 😍😍😍
"If you were not looking for a Ferrari, a free Ferrari will pass you by you and your eyes will be flirting with the tricycles."
I love the way you say it Sir. In my own understanding, we can never also reach our goals in Steemit if we just wait the fruit to fall like what you said before. We can never reap the fruit unless we effort to water the tree.
Steemit fills my life. They say that there is always the sunshine after the rain, yes, Steemit is my sunshine. I have many failures in my life, rejections, hatred, and anxiety. I thought that in 2018, I will never be on earth anymore for sufferring too much depression. No one understood me. It's hard to live everyday if when we wake up, there is always a battle we face emotionally and the worse is, my problem gets worst when I see how different I am now when I face in the mirror. I feel so down about myself coz I often think that my standard is -1 than the others. Forgive me Sir if I had this diroder before. You know, I was hopeless and it became worst when my father passed away. I feard death before, but because of my problem, I fear death no more.
One day, my sister @gina2017 introduced me Steemit. I was hopeless because I am unhealthy but no money. Gina says that Steemit is a legit website and @birjudanak earns so good. I was actually reviewing in a company that pays to review calls, but my body cannot fight the schedule and pressure anymore. Then my ailment became worst that I encountered a falling hair, lose hamstring, knee swell and wrists. So I stopped that work. For many months, I was more exhausted but prayed to God that He will provide me a company that pays me without torture. Gladly, I tried Steemit. For a week, I said to myself that Steemit was not for me for earning those cents and my articles are underrated. But because of you who inspire me, whonis selfless and generous, who is very down to earth, and a good son to his mother and brother to his siblings, because of you, I wouldn't be motivated as this. I wouldn't be fighting my prblems because you make me realize that life is colorful. You brought colors to my darkest soul and most of all, God has sent you to me, to us, to defeat anger and resentments and to love myself. Thank you very much Sir. We have not met yet, but I feel you are a family with pure heart and an angel sent by God. My Christmas is colorful because of you, because of the other big fish that appreciate my writings, because of Steemit and @ned for creating Steemit, because of my friends who encourages me here, and because God has loved me.
Thank you Sir @surpassinggoogle and Steemit. You are my sunshine. Merry Christmas. More than words. ♡♡♡
You know, I said to my family that I was born unlucky in this world. Hopes died, tears flew day by day, I had no color, but you and the other big fish. Because of Steemit, I learned to value cents, to be always pure in our writings. Because of Steemit, my hope is coming back a little bit. Thank u very much. ♡♡♡
Sorry to hear this. I am one of those "unlucky" but I am a "leo". Leos have strong personalities. I can move on quickly and I can laugh when things are tough. I don't take things too seriously. ;)
Thank you for pouring out your heart freely and for being so #untalented and pouring out your weaknesses. Its tough but there is hope. At the very least, what we suffer must have essence. it shouldn't just be suffering for fun. For this reason, we have role to play. Let even our sad stories fix but alas, there will be happy times too. Perhaps, a new kind of happiness resulting from touching others. It is a new kind of happiness but happiness still. Pray, for Jehovah listens. A job that will not stress you, you will have in Jesus' name amen. Now, that's a good start. Your presence hear is essential. You growth in substance is now ever more evident. Awesome moments come next.
so real...i felt every word and i can relate
Im nearing 2 weeks here in the platform and I continue to be amazed with the whole concept. It's fresh, it's new and it's exciting. I have to say, I am learning a lot here despite the learning curve of the interface. Here is a summary of my journey here:
I am still learning how to navigate and to improve my content here. And I know that with hard work and dedication, I can profit from my hard earned efforts. I hope to make it through the stage of being a minnow haha. It's hard but just as you guys made it through with consistency and perseverance, I hope I can do it as well.
Thanks so much for the people who have made it their mission to help others. I just voted you as witness because I know how serious you are with your work. Merry Christmas
Hmm. When I saw that question at the beginning of your post, I was like, where do I start from to narrate all I have learnt from steemit
They are just enormous. I'll just have to start somewhere.
Firstly, I want to say that the reason why I have learnt so much here on steemit is primarily because of #untalented. It was the life giver to me. It made me know I could become whatever I wanted, that I had something to offer.
Without it, I probably would not have been able to make any progress here on steemit. Thank you @surpassinggoogle.
It's has been a while since i joined steemit and looking back at my introductory first post and my new ones i think i'm improving quite well.
I spent and i'm still spending my time on thinking how can i improve my profile and the content i share, this makes me better at researching and analysing not saying about self criticism. My posts about health made me research information once more, and believe or not before i have been missing a lot of important information about certain foods.
SO YES! I actually educate myself when i write posts, so you can grow your awareness on important or just interesting topics. I have learnt about health, food, sports, and so on.
I think one of the most important lessons is that, i can really grow and i can help people through writing my posts. It was important for me to realize that, but i quickly understood that i still lack of motivation or maybe just strong desire to help. And this is where #untalented came in. I started to read peoples post in that tag, and I was fired up to keep going.
Now, I've learnt so much. Another thing I've learnt is on crypto. This has been of tremendous financial reward to me. I learnt about crypto and how crypto works, and I have invested In crypto too. All these are as a result of my steemit journey.
Finally, leaving the best for last,i learnt never for any reason to think God does not love me. When my dad died, I somewhat felt this way, and probably I did not handle the situation well. But when I saw the way @surpassinggoogle handled his loss, I was so broken, and I learnt an everlasting lesson, that no matter what we face, God loves us so much, and wants the best for us.
All these were made possible because of steemit. Thank you.
Even though I don't know you, but i was saddened by your tone over the demise of your Dad.
You may not have handled the situation the way it should and @surpassinggoogle may have handled his own the best way but that doesn't make you less a great person. All hands ain't equall; we don't have the same natural ability. While that's so, However learning is an aspect of Steemit. So you will do well to learn from @surpassinggoogle
Upv by @eurogee, the Steemivangelist of @euronation
Exactly
What can i say. Let me be speechless. Thank you for the privilege to impact you
@surpassinggoogle: without a doubt, you are the best Witness a Steemian could ask for. Your posts never fail to be enlightening yet inspiring and your services to Steemians of every level can never be overstated; your brave response to your recent tragedy is also very moving and powerful.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you very much for everything you do and have done. Also, very very Merry Christmas to you.
Thank you bro. Where did see of you today, lemme recollect: "with @edmurphy, talking to another person regarding supporting your efforts. Keep on awesome!
@surpassinggoogle: Did someone call my name (and typo it slightly? :D) I just stumbled across this post/comment while looking through my favourite people's posts on Steemit (which of course includes yourself and @madmaxfury and also myself @edumurphy -- just had to sneak in the correct spelling there hahahahah)
I agree with @madmaxfury's comment by the way. You are by far my favourite Steemit witness. Your posts and efforts on the behalf of Steemians in general and your tremendous to Nigerian Steemians in particular has been incomparable. Merry Christmas in arrears and Happy New Year in advance 👍👍👍
I learned about STEEMIT from a friend, and now I'm an investor for the long term. Waiting for STEEMIT to be as valuable as facebook.
STEEMIT is like WIKIPEDIA 2.0 and interactive Knowledgebase that is updated all the time. With its good and bad people, and it's good to see that there are more people like you doing good and making the community grow compared to others who undermine the community.
Please continue to pick on the brains of smart and wonderful Steemians and continue sharing your thoughts. We're here to support.
Very sweet comment. Keep on here and driven. You grasped it all fully and you can see. With this:
you managed to summarize this post: https://steemit.com/steemit/@surpassinggoogle/see-just-how-powerful-a-simple-steemit-post-really-is-the-internet-has-never-been-this-awesome
I fully agree, I wish to see STEEM become more for the people, oh that's very nice! I had a good read of your post and that is awesome! We live at a very exciting times my friend! :)
wow!
This is a beautiful piece I must commend @surpassinggoogle.
Now the ultimate question is: what have I learnt from steemit? In turn I could also say "what would I have become if not for Steemit"?
I joined this channel a while ago and to be truthful, I didn't understand the whole concept, it took time, reading blogs from almost 3% of people here and with the help of @Euronation, I have the little idea that has uplifted me within the space a 2 months.
So I say thank you @Ned, thank you Steemit, thank you @surpassinggoogle
You have evolved into more awesomeness. Keep on awesome. There will be tons more of beautiful testimonies for us all in Jesus' name amen
Learning in an ultimate earning, correct! When I first join here in steemit, I never knew about steem and SBD. I just tried to post and upvote hoping that one day my earnings thru rewards would be enough to consider as additional income. After a week, I learned about cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin. At that time, I still did not know what was SBD and steem. I just thought they were like usd-no idea, and not very interested. I was more interested with bitcoin so I did a lot of research about bitcoin over a week. I was amazed and I invested a little amount for a trial. Until I discovered that I could lose my money when btc price would drop. I read and explored more about cryptocurrencies, then I found out what SBD and steem was, so I decided to transfer my btc to steemit and I converted it into steem power. I have read from other steemians posts that Steem could reach up to $10 in the future and even $100, so I was confident that somehow the money I have invested for btc that was converted into steem would not be wasted. After a month, I saw that the estimated cost value of the money in my wallet dropped, so I was a bit disappointed,but I never lose hope. Until, one day kaboom! It went up!!! I was very happy and excited. Now I am inspired to be an active member of steemit community hoping to earn more while learning and having fun. As a mother of two, this platforn is really helpful. I'm still very excited what tomorrow could bring regarding steem and sbd.I hope you like my story. Thanks to @surpassinggoogle, u r an inspiration to us.
This testimony is so sweet. I wont say much. There is a lot of awesomeness that will happen ongoingly. Let's go. Stay ever present. And try this fun experiment. Check you steem power, then refresh the page after a minute or so and see if your steem power is still the same. You will notice another advantage of powering up
Oh, thanks! this is new. I always check my wallet to see if the estimated account value goes up or down,coz that's my signal if the steem price increases or decreases. I just tried the experiment you said. It is true,it works, hahaha! This is great!!! I'm so excited! btw, thanks a lot for upvoting my comment, you just don't know how glad I was when I saw it this morning. A HUGE smile on my face. You just don't know...tons of happiness... you are awesome @surpassinggoogle
Hello my dear friend @surpassinggoogle before commenting on the Topic let me introduce myself from beginning.
I belong to a very noble family. My father was a businessman and we are very prominent family around. We read in high standard schools and life was so good at that time (I am talking the time of late 90).
Suddenly we had a great loss my Father was suffering with liver Cancer. And we spent most of savings on it to save his life but in vain. At that time we had nothing in hand our business was finished. So that time was so crucial for us. Our education was stopped due to shortage of money. There was no other source to boost up my family. Atlast I started a small job and left my education. Slowly I started supporting my family. But the fact was I never let down our routine expenses due to my low income.
Time was passing and our life never changed. In 2011, I started work as Social Media marketer(A freelancer) life was bit cahnged and earning level was better. But with passage of time I felt that industry is full of skilled peopke and at the same time fake people have been joined. So I was again dishearted. Because now it was too hard to win a job at upwork, freelancer etc.
It was early 2017 and I had nothing in my hand no job no earning and no investments.
Then in July, 2017 I came to know that there is a social network where everyone get paid by spending some time on blogging, commenting and even upvoting. And that was the time when I joined steemitand believe me I have lefteach and everything. I am not a freelancer anymore.
My 100% time spends on steemit. I have written some blogs and got good feedback. Now a days I have invested some money in coins like Verge, Ripple, Ada, Lisk etc.
@surpassinggoogle I love with steemit. Tgis medium is saviour of life of many poor and needy people. This is the only medium where someone earns without having any special degree or skill. I am so blessed that you everytime support me on my dull posts and full of mistakes in comments. But I believe on your world famous tag #untalented where anybody can get something.
I am also blessed that I join steemit, Now my 7 family members work on steemit and all are happy. This is the power of steemit that I am able to invest in cryptocurrency through steemit.
All the best dear Terry and Stay blessed!
Hahaha, a tangible testimonies. Keep the awesomeness going. You did go through tough times but there wil be awesome times too
Yes Now I have learnt how to hide sorrow and laugh. You're doing the same for sake of people not for yourself @surpassinggoogle. You have lost your mum recently and even then you shows your strongness. You are laughing, kidding and enjoying but I know there is a great sadness is hidden behind all this. Stay stong Tarry you area real hero and inspiration lot of people around the globe!
Wow great initiative and great post again. Tnx for sharing
Wow, I love today's discussion.
The truth of the matter is that the first thing I took to heart from steemit came from you @surpassinggoogle. You know when mama(may her soul rest in peace) went home, I took time to monitor your response to those who were posting on the passing away post, and I noticed something. A fellow came and posted the vote for me I vote for you post. A lot of people started to shout at him and scold him. All I was doing was waiting for your response @surpassinggoogle, and when you came online, you upvoted him, and then gracefully told him to read the post and give a comment.
My God is was shaken to my core. You mean, despite what you were going through, yet you were still nice. That stuck to my bone. And that brings me to what I have learnt on steemit.
TRY TO BE ALWAYS NICE TO THOSE YOU MEET HERE ON STEEMIT Don't just PRETEND to be nice, but from within you try to cultivate that habit of being nice. You don't know the reason why people behave the way they do, it's only in showing them warmth that they would come out of their shell.
This has not only helped me here on steemit, but also in my day to day relationship with people. Thank you so much with all my heart @surpassinggoogle, you have sure made me a better person.
I sure can't repay you, but God will surely bless you and give you your reward here on earth and in heaven. Amen
@stellastella. Omg! this is so awesome. Now i know am not the only one watching this wonderful man called Ajayi Terry. Sincerely speaking he makes me to always want to ask this question and the question is " WHAT WILL JEHOVAH DO IN THAT SITUATION?". Great guy . Just what he did when one steemian named @littleboy wrote some crazy things about his activities on the platform. The way he responded to the guy was out of this world.
A man with a good heart. That was why i was really sad when MAMA left us. But you know I learnt from him that even when someone is trying to pull you down, don't ever retaliate with evil just show love. I know that's exactly what Jehovah will do in that situation. Nice one @stellastella. Great contribution.
I love @surpassinggoogle and I can't hide it. The fact that is from my tribe (Yoruba in Nigeria) is another plus. One love bro.
In Jesus name amen.
I won't say much. I will just say that this comment did me fixing. It made me feel joy. Thank you for buying out time to spot the spottables
One love
Awesome post @surpassinggoogle. I want to say I have learnt so much here in steemit. It has been really amazing.before I say what I have learnt, I want to use this opportunity to thank #Nigeria and #untalented for all their support towards my growth on steemit. Also I want to thank you @surpassinggoogle for all your encouragement and support, you sure were of tremendous help during my first weeks here.
Okay, to what I have learnt here on steemit, I want to just give two.
Getting more followers is useless
I have learnt that getting more followers by begging for followers is useless.
People use steemfollower.com, they follow random people to get follow backs, they ask other to follow them but it is completely useless even if your followers increase. SHOCKED? Well because, on steemit, you don't need to build followers, but you need to build fans !!! Followers are the people who followed you when they liked a post of yours. They will follow and forget. You need those people who are crazy to read your posts, waiting for you to publish the next post, remembering to check your profile every now and then, who will resteem your posts, who want YOUR success, as much as you do.
The good and bad of VOTE BEGGING
Some people here would ask you to vote for vote, follow for follow and such other stuff. The good thing about it is that you can win contests which require you to collect votes. The bad thing about it is that you can increase the number of votes through this method, but CAN NOT increase the amount of dollars. Only minnows will support you by this method who don't have much Steem power and thus, they can't help you earn. Remember, if you deserve something, begging won't help you get it, because beggars only get beggary, not huge dollars. No one ever got rich from begging.
Produce quality content and you'll get genuine upvotes. Simple and short.
See were #untalented was born. If your browser can load up, please read the comment. I am glad that it served you purpose.
I am your fan; every and each time.
Thank you for expressing gratitude and sharing heartily your testimonies, in a bid to share, impact and educate. Stay awesome
Great Story Terry! I learned STEEM when I actively traded on POLONIEX a few months ago. Never gave it much attention till I saw it pumping.
I bought a few and decided to learn more about it. When I fully understood what it stood for I was already late on the Price train and I HODLD all the way down to the $0.75.
I believed in STEEM and learned alot from here. It's where I get the latest news about cryptocurrency and meet awesome people like you.
I hope to someday contribute on a STEEMLAB that would benefit the world.Keep it up!
I so love this testimonial comment. I think poloniex led you to an awesome place. Dreams equaler to reality by means of steem. It is way more than the blogging as you will find out over time, if you havent. Entire enterprises can be brought to life here. Plus, we have masses of reputable great minds, many who are loving and that's powerful
I fully agree. SMT here in STEEM makes it possible. Zero transaction fees. 3 Second blocktimes
I keep hearing about STEEM moving to EOS and having 1 Second blocktimes Imagine the possibilities.
This will make STEEM an instantaneous Social Media Machine, making it viable for companies to build on top of it. These are exciting times indeed
I tell you, nothing is really impossible.
Learned Steemit from my brother who is a very smart guy (into stocks, economic status, business and financial stuffs). To be honest, for a head like me whose not so well rounded at investing and stocking.. Steemit is the only platform I can use and understand. I'm enjoying it.
It proves me that being nice, helpful and supportive is possible. If we are like this in Steemit, how wonderful it is when all people get to realize this is what they should be doing. Not the validating and bashing thing on other social media platform.
Steemit slowly (but surely) exposes me to Crypo's terminologies, techniques..
Like today I made my first blocktrade transfer and power up thereafter. I find it amazing simply because the process is something I have never done before. I love small to big learnings! Every bit of learning counts, right?
Steemit thought me patience and consistency. My relatives know I am so lame in those fields. But Steemit is like a MISSING part of me. its culture platform. It's like meeting a long lost friend. (sorry, sounds cheesy. ^^ ) I am just so happy knowing steemit, you @surpassinggoogle and friends I made here. :)
Last but not the least, Steemit actually sends me a piece of what they call, sense of pride (in a humble way). For the first time, I finally felt doing something right with my money. At the moment, I still don't understand how market share and stocks runs, but in Steemit. I have my humble share that I can grows everyday! I may not have all my money at hand or in bank, but I'm sure it's worth investing it here in Steemit. :)
Hello 2018! I am happy to continue using steemit. Worth all my spent time, money and effort! Most importantly, when you're surrounded by GOOD STEMIANS, it's contagious! :) ♥
I fell in love with your awesomeness. None of your lines was cheesy. Twas real and with spice. Yes, there is life playing itself out on steemit and you are genius in the aspects you picked cos those virtues that you mentioned that is evolving, is the life and culture aspect that you pinpointed and is a special aspect that few may see. You can see. You aint just looking. You are pretty. You are full of awesomeness. Dig it out all the more, else i will dig out myself
Haha! Man of many words! That's rare. :D
Thank you so much, appreciate the good words.
Tell you one thing, @surpassinggoogle...
People here like me do not just follow you for upvotes.. what sets you apart from other whales is you connect with your followers. You have a heart to listen and converse. Good job! :)
You deserve your title (famousness :D ) here in Steemit. :)
Thank you switie
We could buy Steem and Power Up without going to BlockTrades (^_^)
Just select "Market" under SBD.
steeemit has really affected my life positively..i remember being on other platform and all i could achieve was just likes on my post. but ever since i joined steemit, i've achieved so may things in life that i can't start counting, steemit has helped a lot in my writing, i've learn a lot of things here, from crypto, from motivational post, and inspirational post from my brother @surpassinggoogle, you've done so much for me here..i thank you
Hahaha bro. Thank you for awesomeness. For us, its along road and lots of awesomeness. There will be those times. Just keep on present
Wow. Thank you very much @surpassingggoogle. Great post filled with so many "head humours" haha. Wow that throw back was just so cute. Who would have thought that was the boy that would inspire me sometime in the future. The boy that made me learn so many stuffs about steemit and even asked me of my dreams that i have not completed with the aim of helping me achieve them.. One thing i have learnt on steemit is that there are those that are here for themselves and there are those that are here for others and the name @surpassinggoogle is for the latter. There is no way i would mention what i have learnt from steemit without me mentioning that i have learnt TERRY I learnt about a different kind of human with so much positive vibes and mission of reaching out to the world. God bless you.
Another stuff i learnt is that Steemit has introduced me to a wonderful diverse and global community
Most importantly, Steemit has allowed me to get to know amazing Steemians all over the world; Steemians from diverse cultures and backgrounds, but all sharing the same Steem dream. I'm thankful to be part of this generous community and look forward to what the coming year holds for this great platform and community. I have also learnt about #untalented. It has given me purpose. I wouldnt have been more encouraged in life if not for #untalented.
Stwwmit has had great quality on my life. It has improved the quality of my savings, hardwork, consistency, creativity, and income stream:)
I have also learnt to appreciate other peoples input and hardwork into the community because when i do, i get some level of satisfaction and it spurs me to get creative and come up with my own perculiar work or content.
I have learnt to obey the message in Matt 5:16. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
I choose to be a light to the community. God bless you @surpassinggoogle for this opportunity.
wow I like the way your thoughts flow in to your post, You could be the head I was looking for lol
I can't say for sure if i have found the ever-so-mising complex, but steemit has given me at least some pieces of that puzzle I was searching for. I feel closer to solving this puzzle that I'm not sure I will ever solve.
I was lead here through my quest to figure out why humans were so fascinated with this so called decentralized utopia where we somehow control our own fortune. Instead I found so much more.
Thanks for this awesome post it just opened my mind and released me from the thoughts I was confined to.
I tell you, i may be that head. You will determine that more fully as you visit with me and i just may see you in the chats. Release those thoughts here is an awesome start, for when you go back out there, you will see way more things
I learned a lot when I joined early this month, in psychology mostly since same as you I lost my mom last March and the pain is too much it caused me depression. When I read your post about your mom I cried all the memories came back again, through Steemit I met psychologist/Steemians who helped me move on little by little. You'll meet different people here from around the world and the friendship and the concern I get was genuine in my short time of stay here. And I can vent out thru posting poems and photos and it helps a lot. Unlike other social media platform you can share your inner you here without being judged. Thank you @surpassinggoogle , I'd like to tell you that I so admire your advocacy! May God continuously bless you and your family and friends!
Have Merry Christmas!
Resteemed.
I have a special spot for you. Be strong. Let's be sad from missing these woman but put this sadness to good use on behalf of others, so their suffering has some essence. Steemit does help. It helped me too. It helped me today. I shed tears before rising up to complete this post and as a result of those valuable tears, for these are valuable tears and Jehovah keeps these tears specially in skin bottle to remember them for us. Stay awesome. Jehovah bless us all in Jesus' name amen
Tears are flowing! But I know I have new friends here on Steemit whom I know I can gain strength, strength to move on. It'll definitely be hard to forget the pain but as what you've said their suffering has some essence and I know they want us to move on and be strong. Thank you very much @surpassinggoogle from the bottom of my heart!
Amen, bless us in Jesus name!
Amen.
Thank you too. You inspire me more than you know
I almost learned half of my knowledge I have thru steemit. I nurtured myself to become a giver and at the same time, a risk taker. I never been so direct with my words until I became a steemian and preached steemit. I learned to share what I have learned in steemit. I became an investor, a financial analyst etc. I learned to be patient in my researches about cryptocurrencies. I learned how to trust people and the blockchain. I learned how to curate good posts, post up good comments and upvotes good weights of votes. I slowly open up my mind to the things I am not capable of controlling with. To understand the behavior of a person, a thing, a place or a phoenomena.
Actually, there are many to be listed but I'll stop here for I know that most of us shares the same wisdom and knowledge. 😎
So much evolution and growth. Awesomeness.
Similar to our lives, we exist only for a short period of time but living doesn't stop there! We could build and influence young minds! Looking back, our fears has always been our "what ifs." That's a scary one, I know. Nobody wants to be left behind. In Steemit, I learned that as long as I made my existence worthwhile, it's worth it!
Steemit has became my personal diary. I used to have one, though. All my ideas are here. Somehow, people who read my blog already know me little by little. I'm showing my puzzle to everyone. I don't want to be an open book but I think eventually, I'll become one. Anyway, I'm enjoying what I do and that's all that matters!
Thanks to you, @surpassinggoogle, coz even if you're miles apart, I get to feel that you have a big heart. You care so much and I don't even know how to give back. Someday, I know I can. More power to us, Writers! ❤
You give back by being awesome. Your mindset is great. And we are not so miles apart. As for the platform lasting, we take steem to the moon. We are CEOs of steem, each one, so if we want it to last, it is possible. Jehovah keep us alive
I'm sure every effort pays off, in time. A person becomes successful because of influential mentors like you. May you never get tired in supporting minnows like me. I owe the beginning of my triumph, to you.
Waoooo, what a great experience. To cut it short. I was introducd by a friend @eurogee in euronation. At first ,it was all look like nothing is working at all ,because of the low upvote i got often on my post then including cheeta visits, it actually taught me a lesson to start putting my self on work ,so motivating. Still growing the more, it was all quite an experience but that later paid to success. Thanks for asking sir. I recognised and greeted you on my Christmas wishes post sir👉 https://steemit.com/christmas/@chrisdsteemsport/merry-christmas-to-my-steemit-heros-heroines-2017-season. MERRY CHRISTMAS once again
Glad to hear about @eurogee. He has been doing awesome things and with steemit is more of a tool as well to touch lives. At least, give people a chance at fishing too. Your presence is essential here. Sometimes, presence is all that's needed
You are much right sir
hi dear...it's been such a while and i hope you're more stronger now. I will say steemit has really taught me a lot of things, my writing has really improved since i joined steemit. steemit has given me the opportunity to meet great and kindhearted people like you. so one of the greatest thing has achieved on steemit is meeting someone like you..my 2017 has been a great one because of steemit...
Sweetie, it has been tough especially my physical health but i have it in mind to work on. I am hoping to end this year strong and start 2018 stronger. We will back in the chats soon. With hopes. 2018 will carry more awesomeness
i'm so glad that you're getting back stronger, i always knew you as a fighter and i know you will beat it..please come back more cuz i missed you..
Bryant Mcgill once said:
Curiosity brought me to steemit. I joined it upon the suggestion of my friend and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. My 5 months here gave me lots of learnings, even more than I could've imagined:
First, I learned to make new friends. Steemit gave me new friends that I could share things that interest me with and they too could share their thoughts as well.
Second, I learned that writing isn't just about earning but you got to put your heart in it. I mean, writing for me is just a hobby before, but now I became more interested in it since other people are kind enough to give me feedbacks on how could I still improve.
Third, I learned about crypto. Before, I don't have the time or guts to even try to learn it since I think it was difficult to understand but now, I learned few things about how things work.
Actually, there are lots of things I learned that I can't put into words and there are still things to learn. I am just grateful for the past few months and will always look forward to the days ahead!
Yes the learning is endless. Thank you for sharing your testimony
Wow nice to see your picture playing basketball this sport is one of my favorite to sport. I am playing every year for company competition even i am a short as a point guard. basketball is so beautiful ball game. I wan to see you video if you have.

Yes You because I am truly inspired by you , it's star (sorry to mention) when your loving Mother lost. I almost reading your post but sometimes not to make a comment. just relating every article you have done. truly we are in deepest dark side when someone in our life lost. you are not the one because your so lucky having that your Mother lost while you are beside her.not like me I was lost my younger daughter never see her alive while she is sick while i am working here in Saudi Arabia. she was at 1 year and 3 months when I left her, going here in Saudi arabia I was 18 months here 2 months before my contract was finish. I receive a call a bad call that my younger daughter was died in a high fever she is 3 years in a months since I left her she never knew me because that time I have no cellphone to see her in any social media. I was so painful. that is why when I read your story about your Mother. I felt the same pain that you have. But as I said you were lucky embrace your Mother alive before she lost.. while my story is i Think much more painful than yours.Merry Christmas TERRY hope we are in great good health. sorry to my message here and pardon to my grammar. sorry again for this message that never mention in your article topic. Thank you Again to inspire people.
Your grammer is sweet. Sorry about your tough times. Only Jehovah can heal us. No comparisons. Sometimes it is not about the tradegy, it is about the person experiencing it. Some people are really deep and can't process even the tiniest mishaps easily, so may Jehovah soothe our pains and heal us and continue to give us life and by his grace, we will have some amazing and awesome times and share laughs and make others laugh. Overall, we try what we can, so that the suffering of our dead loved ones and our suffering has some essence, so we keep on doing good and putting smiles on faces. Loved to see you here and thank you for inspiring me by sharing a piece of you. Ofcourse, we are #untalented, so always feel free in my space for "flaws are allowed" in this space
Since I have joined steemit, I have been active online almost 24hours. I am on facebook but I barely go there. Now I am planning to go back there to promote steemit. I have learn to be more sociable since I don't actually socialize. Steemit is also teaching me how to become a writer even though I am #untalented. New friends, new ideas and learning new things day by day.
Now I need to slow down a bit so that I won't focus all my attention on steemit but also I will be actively involved.
I have just withdraw 7SBD from my account and It was fantastic for be because it is the first time I will be doing so on the internet without investing any fiat in it.
I love steemit and I will continue to.
I created this motto for steemit.
Steemit....
Together We Belong....
Together In Friendship....
Together We Grow
Merry Christmas to you @surpassinggoogle.
@seyiodus.
Awesomeness. Earning your first actually penny online, tells you that it is indeed possible. For more than a decade before steemit, i didn't earn a penny that i held on hand. I have more than 100 youtube videos and have amassed 39 usd in years before steemit but you can't even have adsense money till it reaches 100 usd
You are right sir. In fact I even fell into the wrong hands. Instead of me to earn, I loose my money. Since then I decided not to put money in anything online. But I am changing it now seeing the potential of steem. If I have the money, I will invest in steem.
Collecting my earning is another testimony for me to be able to convince people to join steemit since they want to see proof anytime I tell them about this great platform.
I am so happy that I can tell About steemit to anyone now.
Thank @surpassinggoogle for these post it really a breath taking post,having check back on my first steemit post and the recent once i think am heading somewhere,these post have thought me alot most especially these line @surpassinggoogle "use my simple tiny posts to encrypt these ideas till they can play out into fruition and so, it didn't matter much if my posts earned much money because ofcourse" i think if everyone has these same idea steemit will be one of the greatest platform.
@engrbrain
Steemit will be great with the right ideology.
People join by checking the trending posts only to post and earn cent, this discourage them and they stop blogging, if only we can see beyond the earnings and take advantage of other great stuffs steemit offers like learning....
Yes!
I so like the point the you picked. Shows a lot. I don't know if you read my last post but i kept in it more for you. Stay awesome. On steemit, you will certainly shine more
I am just less than a week old here on steemit but I learn so many things especially the coding hahaha.. I feel like I am a program designer and an IT now because of it haha.. Each posts have different value and I like it all, mostly the posts of those who have been here for a long time, because they have so much to share on how to start on steemit.
Thank you
You are are right, you learn from people who has been there for some time, that's mentoring man and its available for free. Steemit is a wonderful place to be at.
I am beginning to like it here. So many things to learn and the wonderful experience is I am earning a little bit haha.. thanks.
Lol
Just take it step by step
The earnings makes the learning sweeter
Samuel Joseph
Awesome
Awesome. Please learn the coding. With that an on steem, any dream can come to fruition with support from the community. An awesome route to take. Don't tire out. Stay awesome too. Welcome on steemit
Thanks for the warm welcome.. this is my first time to have a vote this huge...Merry Chridtmas.
Steemit promotes everything, it helps people find their missing piece may it financially or something that their minds and souls are looking for. Vast of information that would help us develop our skills and a lot of motivational posts that help us uplift our spirit to face each and everyone is facing each day. Everyone may it the untalented, talented, poor, rich, genius, non-genius and etc have some missing piece that we've been looking for and longing to fill. Such a good read this morning sir Terry :)
Hahaha such a good comment. I didn't sleep, so i am glad it did something good to your morning. I will rest a bit now. I will try
Wow. so much effort you put in the content. Little did we know, you are not having good sleep just to give exceptional contents. You are the man sir Terry! :D
Thanks for sharing @surpassinggoggle
HOW STEEMIT HAS HELPED ME
I never thought for once i could write up to length of 500 words, I HAD THAT FEAR... but now i could do that ease, COS I FEEL I WILL BE REWARDED IF I TRY. LOL
Also steemit has helped in the development of my ability to draw cartoon portrait.
Now, i have good reasons for buying data and owning an android phone. Lol
Also, i think every head holds a piece of anything you want, i think what is important here is how to dig it to get what you want.
Hahaha awesomeness. So real and it inspires. Thank you for sharing these testimonies freely. Hahaha, i called it diggist. I just play
Hahaha..... Thanks so much for the privilege to share it.... God bless you.
steemit is blessing for me. .... i learned about cryptos here...i dont know nothing about the digital currencies before...and my english is also improved ..... i never thought that so much better things could happened with me at once ....here you can learn and earn ....thankyou steemit ....... and thankyou @surpassinggoogle and many people on steemit for the support and teaching...
Oh so sweet and real a comment. Really inspiring to hear. And the English part too. Thank you for expressing these things freely. There will be more things to learn and evolve on. Stay awesome
I just set my witness vote proxy for you to do...whatever it is you do with it - I don't have a clue, but you seem cool.
Use the force wisely, young Luke...
Happy Christmas!
Hahaha thank you Luke. Thank you for the privilege. It is inspiring. Keep on awesome
what is this witness vote .. I don't understand it completely .. can you explain me @surpassinggoogle ?
Witness are steemians but they run servers in different locations that hosts the steem blockchain. They do pay for these servers and kinda responsible for the security and running of the blockchain, so they have to be reputable too. They are voting on to top ranks by steemians. I run a witness but my witness name is called "steemgigs".
now I got this BTW thanks for describing
It's always amazing reading your post, steemit so far has been the best thing to happen to me this year, steemit has really changed my life, socially, financially, educationally, social media had been nothing to me untill i was introduced to steemit, and ever since then my life has not been the same. And if it wasn't for people like you it wouldn't have been easy.
Really long time but i will be back. You just took me back to your switness. Keep on awesome. More awesome times ahead
what a sweet reply from the legend @surpassinggoogle :p
you are so sarcastic @abdullahzahid but what a sweet reply @surpassinggoogle :p
@surpassinggoogle I have no time for other websites ever since I joined steemit! I'm addicted to it!
Apart from the fact that it only offers quality content, it's also the only platform that I know of where you can actually help other users and reward them substantially for their work. It empowers the user and that's what I love the most about steemit. I don't even have time for facebook anymore, steemit is much more interesting and much more profitable for the average user! I believe that anyone who joins steemit can never go back to mainstream social media!
I believe steemit is a huge game changer and it is just a matter of time till it gets the attention it deserves. I can see Steem skyrocketing soon!
Steem to the moon!
Highest Regards
@lordneroo
Sweetness in a comment and i so so so love the aspect of giving that you mentioned. According to me, receiving is very much an art as well and steemit helps teach it too. Stay awesome bro
@surpassinggoogle I can't stress enough how much I appreciate you taking the time to respond. It's all about giving and sharing here on steemit and that's a huge breakthrough. I try my best to share quality content using education and skills I have obtained over the years through hard work, sacrifice and devotion. Gives me pleasure and fulfillment to participate in the process of building steemit and I do it with the utmost respect. The happiest people are those who make others happy. I'm a firm believer of that and I love steemit for providing me with this possibility. Best @lordneroo #SteemOnToEternity
You continued awesomeness
This is a platform that is really for everyone, from any walk of life. I learned that it doesn't matter where you come from — this is a place that welcomes all to the same opportunities.
In addition, not only is Steemit a great place to earn while you learn, it's a great place to learn and refine.
If you are an engineer, artist, photographer, stay-at-home mom, this platform presents an awesome opportunity to not only monetize your skills, but to receive critical feedback from Steemians from around the world that can help you refine your work. Cool, right? :)
Awesomeness. I didn't want to touch on many of the aspects, so i just focused on one but that is a major part, what you mentioned and i have so done so much of that. The portion of the post where i spoke of keeping my dreams alive in dream-bits encrypted in a post; the part i didn't add in this post is steemit also being a sandbox to rehearse and evolved these dreams into fruition with unadulterated feedback from these community of reputable great minds. Family and friends on facebook, will mostly tell you, you are the best
Woah. Didn’t expect you to reply. +++ We should also become better versions of ourselves in order to accomplish our dreams. :) Thank you for inspiring and motivating!!! Mabuhay ka!
Hahaha, i would normally reply
yeah you always reply like you are going to reply this one also :p
I learn more about crypto, writing, photography (to be exact is smartphonephotography, as I "shoot" with my phone) and networking. And the most wonderful part is friendship, Team Malaysia! This one cannot be fully explained in words. Without Team Malaysia, I would not be what I am here today. With love and hugs! And Merry Christmas to everyone! 💗💖❤️💕♨️
Yes i know eliza, i have seen pictures and i understand that aspect of friendship. Steemians are just different and special. Love and hugs received. Stay awesome
I also love my Pakistani community but you also supported us very much ..
thank you for this
Oh you from pakistan. Glad to know. Its growing. When you say pakistan i already can remember several steemians from there, which is great and now you. Easy to remember will be rabeel, ugetfunded jawad etc
you forgot taimoorahmad the sarcastic guy from pakistan :p
Nope and hassan etc. Not seen them for sometime now
Yeah , they are working hard for Pakistani community .
Hiii @surpassinggoogle, its pleasing to know that a Steemit leader of your calibre remembers the names of minnows like me. though you dont use tags in ur posts from all the countries of the world and i fully understand its not possible to do so yet you have volunteered to support the steemians from everywhere. Huge respect to you sir from Pakistan.
I hope you have wonderful christmas and celebrate very well this festival, stay blessed forever.
" MERRY CHRISTMAS "
I longed to find a blogging site or a paying site before where I can share my feelings, out of nowhere stories and captured moments with friends. I do the same thing, search and search, and the search is over as I found Steemit at last. Homesick is my real enemy so I change the course of spending my time on Steemit rather than thinking of going back home all the time. Its like my day is not complete without getting active in here because it truly pays you even if sometimes your post is out of nowhere. I was so blessed that I have been part of this growing community. Also, I learned about cryptos. I can say that I am now knowledgeable about blockchains and I am very thankful to Steemit. Merry Christmas, Sir Terry. 🎄 ❤️ Godbless!
Yes pretty. That knowledge is important. It improves your substance, it grows you as a woman. The next time you catwalk that walk, the room will have to halt because your presence filled it. Now we are talking.
You will have the means to be home in no time; in due time. Awesome years ahead. Or maybe by mansions in Dubai and have your fam visit oftenly. Keep the learning and see more. It is more about how much you can see and steemit helps matter. Stay awesome
Been a while dear....
What i have learnt here on steemit is numerious
The knowledge i have achieved thus far has gone as far as postively changing the way i perceive life .
Aside my field of study,i can boast of ideas from other field
Big thanks to steemit and to you
Yep switie. I have missed you. Thanks to you for your feelings and love and awesomeness. Glad you have evolved in your perception of life.
My pleasure
And before its too late
Merry Christmas in advance dear
Hope its bobbling in your end.
See switie. I wish it is bubbling but my body suffers from all the workaholism and my shattered pelvis rubs me of joy or relaxation. No mood for much activity and no sleep either, so i stay indoors and let the days run. I am here though. So you do bubbling for me
No,i would rather pray for you so you bubble.
Your type of person deserve a whole lot,am certain you have reward in heaven but then your life could start bubbling here too.
Look forward to a 2018 with enough reasons to be joyful as you just got listed in someones prayer list
Yes, sweetie. My amen is on default. Alot of things have to get better in 2018. I pray for us to end 2017 strong as well. Missing you now
Hello @surpassinggoogle
I came accross steemit as a result of my search for freedom after school. I knew the internet has it, but where?, was the question. Steemit came and the question was answered.
I've found that which I was searching for; "freedom". The freedom to learn not formal education which limit you, the freedom to earn not job which also restrain you.
This line caught my attention;
There is something in that head, all it needs is a digger, one who is will to dig till the gem is found.
You are right Terry
What you learn today makes you earn (in cash) tomorrow. Your earnings today are products of applied knowledge of things learnt in the past.
I'm @samiwhyte
Awesome thing you were seeking. The creator of steem wants that same thing, thus, his venturing into creating the steem blockchain and the other blockchains he has created. Glad you are here. There will be awesome times down the road
You are right Terry
There is awesomeness already, I anticipate better days ahead.
Since Bella told me about steemit, there are a lot of good changes in my life. I read a lot of informational and inspiring stories, and I even met people from steemit and went to a restaurant with them! I started writing more, finally out of my diary. I never wrote something in my life on facebook, just on paper. Now I started blogging, I realized more how much I enjoy writing and wrote about what's going on in my life and decided to share steemit to my sister, byiriss. My family has never been so close so I normally don't tell her that much. Now, she follows all my story's and we are chatting more about our lives in whatsapp. Steemit made my family closer, the last thing I could ever expect and I am so happy with that! Thank you so much @surpassinggoogle for supporting me and al the other steemians! You're amazing!
Regards,
Sha
Yes, one thing it does. My mum and i were faraway for 5 years almost for i saw her again recently and before she died recently. She used to get on steemit to read my posts and to get prouder of me. It is touching really. I just got touched again about that. Steemit does help families get close. It is a huge step that you are closer to your sister now. In due time, you should all get closer. The entire family. I tell you, that in itself is breakthrough
Im sorry for you to hear that! I followed the situation of your mom and it is so sad.. But I am sure she is proud on you! Your blogs are so inspiring and they say a lot about your personality! Go on, and you will make her even prouder!
Regards,
Sha
Thanks a lot switie
One thing about I learned about blockchain is that its an unstoppable force. STEEM took years compared to Cardano (ADA) who was an immediate success when it was lauched, but never the less.
STEEM and the blockchain as a whole is a decentralized platform where wonderful people can do wonderful things without needing to work for somebody but rather work for themselves.
Here in STEEM people can share Ideas do great things and get rewarded for it. Its a very interesting use case of the blockchain and a recipe for success.
That says it all.
It has a community of reputable great minds and is the gateway for even mainstreamers to the blockchain world. Apart from that, capacity-wise, it is the best in the world and there is no doubt. Speed, feeless, secure, scalable and easy to use without downloading blockchains, from your browser and phone. Too, apps can be built on it and with smts next years, existing websites and external communities can integrate steem.
my life has been getting brighter through steemit. I am someone who does not know the way before getting to know steemit. lately my life has improved steadily. God has provided insight for me in living the life of this world. hopefully you can continue to develop steemit that can provide benefits for everyone. thanks so much sir. if there is a rule to be able to vote to witnesses every day then I will always vote to @steemgigs.
Hahaha thank you for sharing your testimonies and voting many times for steemgigs in your heart. There will be more awesome times for you and your husband. Keep on awesome
God has given a tremendous gift to human life today. but in my opinion there are still many that they do not understand. steemit is now the window of the future. opportunities for people who want to pursue it. I feel easier with steemit. let alone a lot of big people like you who continue to develop it for all the people. I strongly believe, through the touch of a person like you. then it is very easy for an uneducated person. thans so much.
Everyone is created specially and is made up of awesomeness. It is in you
sir, you are so awesome. I continue to learn disisni, even I have not made a post introduce me. I will share my posts introduce me tonight. and I have also joined the @steemgigs chanel discord. I have voted to @ steemgigs. I see the development you are doing can provide opportunities for my newborn. these few days I keep watching. I am very happy. thanks so much sir. i always follow you.
Awesome. Do that #introduceyourself post and let's go!
thi got my attention.
In truth, I didn't get in here because of search query, I was referred to steemit by a friend who thought that I could earn something by putting my thoughts on papers. I got burned off easily with earning mindset, but the knowledge I have gained by following expert traders has changed my life. It is difficult to point to a single post that changed my life. Every time I open the blog is an opportunity to learn from my feeds.
Terry!!!! How are you awesome dude? It's been quite a while. How's the fam and your Christmas?
Hmmm, interesting post and thanks for the thought-provoking concept. Come to think of it, as I read numerous posts, I do unconsciously search for something. I am looking for that secret ingredient on why some posts earns a lot and why others are not. I am wondering why some posts have tons of likes and are very popular while there are those that goes unnoticed even though the post is as impressive as it gets.
I search and read numerous posts trying to figure out that secret formula that others seem to possess. But alas, thanks to your post, I realize that I what I am really searching for is ME! I don't have to imitate others and copy their style. I just have to chill, have fun, and post what my heart desires. If my posts goes unnoticed, then so be it. But if some soul out there loved my post for what it is, then I'll give my sincere appreciation to that person :D
Also, I have been in an out of the site and can't really say that my learning journey is as deep when compared to the learnings of others who have already commented. However, at this point, I learned that I still have a lot to learn hehe...for instance, I don't know what a witness is, what does voting a witness does, what is the purpose of the discord, etc... But on a more serious note, I learned something cool here in Steemit, and it is Steemgigs :D I've read that about a month ago before my hiatus and will have to refresh my memory by backreading some posts about Steemgigs. I may even write a post or two about its advantages. Hopefully, I'll be able to do so before year-end.
Anyway, happy holidays Terry and thanks for this awesome post! :)
Steemit has taught me that we the people have the power to control our own destiny, fortune and future. Through decentralization in currency and community we are free from any government. I believe this is the beginning of a new era in history where the power of the people come together from all over the world. This era is the head and we are the pieces of its puzzle.
You fully grasp. You have dug and spoken. Stay awesome.
It is indeed a new era. There is a shift
We are also much grateful to you than you are to me, you make our steeming enjoyable to read, your posts so informative and helpful.
I myself learned a lot here in steemit and found my time spent more valuable, and more profitable in help of every steemiams around.
So again, I am greatful to you Sir.
Awesome. You do more help to me with simple comments like this than you think
Awww, that was so sweet to hear, means so much to me Sir.
I am glad about that
I was guided here by my beautiful sister @lebron2016 2 weeks ago. I made my introduction post which got about $3. I felt happy because every penny counts. Steemit is a great platform overall! I cannot stop using it! I hope we can meet you one day here in the Philippines @surpassinggoogle. Merry Christmas!
Awesome. Your pretty sis is always here with me. Support her and bond more even by means of steemit. More awesomeness on the way. Stay awesome
