Here's What We Can Control When It Comes To Crypto...

in content •  6 years ago 


It seems like every day you hear about the FUD...The fear, uncertainty and doubt that plagues the crypto markets and has since day one. I am a big believer in crypto, especially STEEM, so I usually get thrown under the bus on social media platforms when I start raving about it all...


Hey I don't blame them...

The promises of instant riches. The sure bet Bitcoin was this time last year....Hype, hoopla and more promises...

And then reality sets in. We go from $20,000 BTC, to around $3,000. We saw STEEM as high as $7-8 each and now we're down to around 25 cents...So I think it's pretty clear....

If you believe in crypto, you should NOT be here because of the price lol Because if you start talking about how much fiat you are going to make by investing in this stuff well, you set yourself up to get criticized...A lot.

So what can we do?

We obviously can't control what the price of crypto so that leads me to STEEM...

This blockchain is unique. Not only do we have some of the most intriguing and addicting dApps on the planet (SteemMonsters, Magic Dice, Partiko....Just to name a few)...But we still have the ability, for everyday people to....CREATE!

I know it sounds so....2017....But content creation on STEEM is such a powerful tool for more people to be introduced to this blockchain.

I've been in love with content marketing as a business model for years now. And have spent the better part of a decade, building blogs, creating video training and doing live streams...To help grow my brand and ultimately, my businesses.

And I could never control how successful my industry was in general. But I could control the effort I put into my content...Every day.

I developed a daily live stream that went strong for 5 years plus. And all I did was...Show up! I've been writing blogs since 2003 and once again, all I did was show up and create! The industry had it's issues and things I wished I could change, but at the end of the day...All I could control was my daily effort.

So this is a call to action for everyone on STEEM. And even those of you that might be reading this and have not yet joined the blockchain....Creating content and engaging every single day on this blockchain is what you CAN control.

The prize of STEEM can go from 20 cents to 2 bucks....It doesn't matter! We talk in investing terms about dollar cost averaging your investments, well I would suggest that we take that exact same approach here.

Create, engage and share on STEEM...Every day! No matter if the price is 2 cents or 20 dollars per token. So when things are great, you've built a strong brand for yourself and people will look to you for guidance. And when things aren't going that great when it comes to price, we're continuing to add value to people's journey. Remember, we're still EARNING STEEM and that's one of the biggest secrets to all this crypto stuff...

Now is the time to build and create here so that when the masses start poking around....They see YOU leading the charge!

You've heard it from me over the past 13 months....Stop worrying about the price, because we can't control it!

Let's worry about;

1. Creating
2. Engaging
3. Accumulating

Because once again, that's all we can really control...Our daily actions!

Thats the right point we should not worry about price as of now because the BTC is almost 85% low so just need to see how we can grow at this level so we can creat a good reputation amoung people and in next bull run STEEM will shut the mouth of people who is against of this crypto.

Knowing you that list will not take you much of the year to accomplish. Building your online business back to where it was will tricky one.

I think you can do it and teach some more than stubborn people the way to go along the way.

Posted using Partiko iOS

is it wrong that i wanna sell it all and start fresh? lol

Posted using Partiko iOS

Not at all but it would be a heck of a challenge to rebuild it better than ever

Posted using Partiko iOS

If you still believe, you keep going and not change your behaviour because of the price.

Posted using Partiko Android

so so true. price being low was a huge blessing for many of us determined to go all in on steem :)

Posted using Partiko iOS

I keep screaming and shouting about the same things. Every single day. Engagement...persistence...accumulation. Repeat.

I don’t blame those who are non believers. They are simply uneducated and misinformed.

Perfectly said. !tip

yeah. and the worst thing i can do
is argue with them. i remember back in the early 2000’s the thoughts of putting your credit card online for transactions was considered insane....amazon.com and a few decades later lol

🎁 Hi @mindtrap! You have received 0.1 SBD tip from @onealfa!

@onealfa wrote lately about: Security First Feel free to follow @onealfa if you like it :)

Sending tips with @tipU - how to guide :)

Exactly. And if we can convert a few more souls along the way even better. As time goes on and the chain gets upgraded it will be a lot easier since we are dealing with the same few issues since I joined. If they can be fixed bringing and keeping people here becomes easier.

Posted using Partiko Android

agreed. the older this stuff gets the easier onboarding will become. we’re still only two and a half years old. i have to keep telling myself that. facebook had the ‘poke people’ feature after two and a half years lol we’re doing ok.

I don't even discuss cryptos with anyone as I'm no investor. The way I see it, cryptos are no different to fiat. Fiat only has value if people accept it as having value and are willing to take it in payment. It goes up and down in value too. We only really notice that when we exchange it for other countries' currency or imports suddenly go up or down in price.

If cryptos remain purely as investments, then I would agree that they won't last. however, they are being used as currency and that is how they can continue to move forward. Steem has taken a huge leap forward for cryptos in introducing us none investors to cryptos and being much more usable like a fiat currency. People on here who have business are accepting it as payment. This is how crypto can move forward. The most usable ones will be the ones to be taken up and steem is useable. I hope soon that it will be exchangeable directly for fiat currencies without having to send it through another coin first.

perfect comment. yeah i think steem has the potential to a huge audience. and that audience will not be relying on an investment side of things. it’ll be a real use case token.

Every day brother every single freaking day!

I do what I do when I feel like doing it but I keep coming back every day!

Posted using Partiko iOS

preach! yeah man. those are the toughest days. when i’m not sure what to write about to do a video about. but what’s funny. i find inspiration on those blah days and end up with some of my more popular posts lol

Posted using Partiko iOS

Same here, I have found that following the mindset of the community for inspiration to come up with ideas proves the most engaged.

The only hard part for me is when I’m on a major low, hard to push that positive message when your not feeling it. Those days often what I create is actually what leads me out of the funk searching for a way of spinning the mindset, therapeutic outlet!

lol you have the benefit of living on the island too lol i’m trying to convince my wife that’s where we need to live. for inspiration and all lolol

Posted using Partiko iOS

It is pretty gorgeous here! Depending on where you live it’s just 10 mins to no where which I love being surrounded by nature, I don’t think I could do big city. Just this morning I went on a walk to scale a mountain face with my dog only 10 mins away from home. Wilderness is where I do my meditations in the morning, I feel the most relaxed when away from everything.

I’m sure it’s not hard to find something here to lure her in 😉

Posted using Partiko iOS

yeah man. my best friend lives in langford. and i was out there this past summer like you know. it was pretty awesome. my wife hates a few things though...earthquakes and bears lololol i’m which is well part of the island lol

Posted using Partiko iOS

That’s where I’m at in west hills, sad our schedules didn’t work out... ahh well next time 💪

The bears are slim to none around here, mainland is a little worse but earthquakes are an ever looming concern.... experienced very few but that only adds to the concern from what I read!

Thanks for the perspective as this is still relatively new for me as creating and curating content as in the last I was really only a consumer of it. I have come to enjoy the experience and engaging with many others has left me feeling encouraged to see this built out to its full potential. I prefer making the product than being the product in centralized platforms!

Posted using Partiko iOS

absolutely. so much better return in my opinion on an investment of time here ;)

Posted using Partiko iOS

People hates me too when start to speak about cryptos.

now i think people just ignore me lololol just posted this link on facebook and so far haven’t even got a single like lol maybe i should
start talking politics and then i’ll get people fired up lol

Managing and being managed… Is there a lifeform more contradictory than humankind? Which one is the best lie to believe in?

Very true Jon! We all have our ups and downs, but in the end, if we believe in something hard enough, we keep doing the little tasks that do compound over time.

oh man. this is my addiction for sure. all in on steem for me :)

Posted using Partiko iOS

yessir. simple simple. but it’s effective.

Posted using Partiko iOS

I agree with you, Jon. My opinion is: We can change the FUTURE with what we do TODAY. So let's engage and we will succeed.

yessir! one action everyday starts adding up to huge change in the future

I was an early believer in "coin".. long before it became the "biggest" new "thing" and I still believe in it... I still use it and I still promote it... I believe in bitcoinbully but I also need to get my steemsavvy working so I can make the best of this new platform... keep pointing and prodding us, Jon, until we REALLY listen...

lol appreciate it. yeah i’ve got so many plans. but very little programmers lol
