I was thinking a lot about how to start this post and the best way to do it, is with this quote:
We learned about honesty and integrity - that the truth matters... that you don't take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules... and success doesn't count unless you earn it fair and square.

I joined Steemit about 3 weeks ago and I keep telling myself I will try to help out as much as possible. Now I realised that every single person who joined steemit is here for the money. I'm not saying that they won't do good things too, but if you think about this in the long term, we are all here for the money. Some will be here for a short time and some people for a long time(I'm one of the persons who joined for the long run). If for example you will make 2 millions in 1 year, will you power down? Of course you will.We are all investors here on Steemit.
How is it possible that everyone is an investor?
When you say the word investor people are thinking how much money did he/she invested. Let me tell you how much people are investing here on Steemit:
- I can't say I invested a big amount of money, but to be honest I invested every dollar I made here on steemit by Powering Up, and I will keep investing, because I feel this is the best opportunity that a person can have. No matter how much money you are investing here on steemit I believe that all of us will win in long time.
- I invested a lot of energy for every single post or comment I made. You put a lot of effort into your posts and you want to make a great one, that people will love or at least you are trying to do the best.(not copy-paste) even if you are a copy-paste you are investing energy.(I don't recomand you do that)
The most important investment that a person does on Steemit is TIME.
- All the users are investing a lot of time for doing the best post or comment and when they finish it they can't believe how much time has passed. Time is the most important investment, because nobody can put a price on your time and , nobody will give you back the time you spend here on Steemit.
The only thing you can get is the reward that people give you for the time and effort you put into your work, and I want to thank you all for that, especially to @ned and @dan for this opportunity.
- Honesty is another important thing that a lot of people are investing here on steemit. The people who are really honest about their work cash in big rewards. It is very important to be honest because in this way you are letting people to know you better and they will see the real version of you.
Another important thing that you must know is: How powerful is the human brain?
Human brain vs the future ( not vs @the-future)
There is nothing magical about the human brain, its a extremely sophisticated biological machine that is capable of adaption to environment, creativity, awareness of one's existence, pondering the nature of reality, etc. Compared to lower animals like a chimpanzee that has only 7 billion neurons. They exist in a domain different from ours, and exist within their type of world.
The problem with superintelligence is they are on a domain above us. We ourselves is what designs/defines the world, makes computers possible, and neural networks like DeepMind work towards beating the best go player in the world.
we're playing the long game brah! :)
Yes, we do man!!!
Keep grinding man.
Thank you man.You too.
keep up with your work !!! @the-future
This is not so good, but thank you man!
i think it's great to reinvest what you earn here, I'm taking out what I need when i need it, investing the rest and buying in when i have a little to spare.
Thank you that you like the Idea! Everyone can do what they want with the investment.
although i do feel it important on posts like this to point out that people should only invest money (weather it's earned here or their own cash) if they can afford to do so.
That's a great idea man,thanks for the feedback.
You are way right in the fact that one of the most important investments someone can make is the investment of time. I have taken out some bucks but boy I have put in a fair bit of time and aim to do so for a long time too!
