I AM SO GLAD THAT STEEMIT GOT ME INTO CRYPTO - THANK YOU

in crypto-news •  7 years ago 

Steemit has put crypto in the hands of the common man!


And what a time to be into cryptocurrency. I woke up this morning to the following reality.

STEEM OVER $2 USD

SBD OVER $2 USD

BITCOIN AT ALMOST $3000 USD

Normally, none of this would have mattered for me. I never mined any crypto and I took any of my other money and bought crypto with it. A year ago, I had no clue about any of this.

However, now steemit has made getting your hands on some crypto easy for anyone who can access the internet. Now, we all have the opportunity to gain our own STEEM & SBD, and even turn it into BTC or other coins if we want. THANK YOU SO MUCH STEEMIT!

Does anyone know how happy I am that I continued to blog to earn STEEM when it was worth 10 cents? I earn a good amount of 10 cent STEEM when others gave up hope. Now, each of those coins are worth over $2 USD. Who's going to be happy that they blogged and curated for $2 STEEM when it goes even higher?

NOW IS THE TIME TO POST AND EARN MY FELLOW STEEMIANS!



Until next time…

Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com

You are a very fortunate man. Or aren't we all?

All of us!

Now is the time to make fingers bleed of typing good content. Sleepless nights and morning claims. Just joking, recently joined Steemit, not expecting to earn something, but I like reading so much quality blogs here.

We are glad to have you, and even your comment is earning something. That little bit there could be worth a lot more one day!

Thank you, i hope so! Like the pure optimism spirit that is circulating around here from posts to comments.

Your title of your post caught my attention as I was thinking how thankful I am that cryptocurrency got me into Steemit (opposite of you of course)! Keep Steeming Papa!

I am happy to have got back into it and to @jerrybanfield for bringing me here!

I'm glad you're back into it too, and that you listened to your friend to come in the first place!

@papa-pepper
Steemit has been a blessing to me and to all of us! May we continue to succeed down this path with a bright future ahead! I'm excited about the latest price! :)

Just upvoted!

It has been a huge blessing to many of us. What an incredible time to be involved! Thank you!

So very true! You're welcome!😊

For me it's the other way around, crypto got me into steem :)

Same here!

Good to hear!

That is a good thing too!

I feel the same way that you do.
When it was down at 10 cents I looked at my blog as an investment and quit withdrawing any Steem. I'm happy that I did.
Plus, in the last 6 weeks I started playing around buying other cryptos and am having fun and success doing that.
I heard about Bitcoin years ago, but never dabbled in it. Steemit got me comfortable with the whole thing and motivated me to get started.

I diversified a bit too on the crypto market. Most of them are doing pretty good. I never got into any crypto until steemit, but now it all makes sense!

so steemit is the gataway into cryptocurrency ;)

It's pretty much the same story for me, too. I'd hear about Bitcoin, but didn't really know what it was or what to do with it. I learned about all that after getting on Steemit. Now, I've just made my first Bitcoin purchase, which is supposed to show up in my CoinBase account tomorrow, and I will use that to make my first crypto trades, based on information I got here. It's exciting, and I hope to see good results. Plus, my estimated account worth here is now more than the amount of SteemPower I have, which is cool.

Good luck to you. Keep blogging on a regular basis, and I'll bet you can make some nice bank.

That's the goal. :)

Totally agreed, I started using crypto once I was introduced to steemit. Great post.

I'm glad that my brother @gregbit showed me steemit. I happy for you @papa-pepper!

I'm happy for you too! Thanks to @gregbit for the encouragement to get you started!

@papa-pepper Well said... Thank You Papa

It's great to see STEEM above $2.00... UPwards & Onwards...

Thank You 4 Your ongoing insightful/educational Posts... it means a lot to many of us Newbies, especially for me because I really had no idea what I was doing... smilesss... and still learning-the-ropes.

Thanks Again !!... and Have a Great Week !!

It is an exciting time, and it is great that now it can mean something to us,

Have a great week!

WoW... just look at how many people have responded to the post Papa... You have "touched" with all the work You've done, especially Your ongoing Posts to help so many...

Well done Papa !!... AND You've earned it... both the financial rewards & all the Love, Compassion & Help You've given to so many !!

Thank you for that. Yeah, the comments keep coming in!

It is a happy time for our people!

To the MOOON with STEEM

I'll see you there @smappy!

I don't know why but it really felt like this suddenly is reaching all time heights. Can you tell me if there would be a specific reason for this? Do people take cryptocurrencies serious finally now?

I am not completely sure. I thought that BTC was nearing the top already when it broke $2000, but I believe that STEEM has plenty of room for growth. We will see.

I'm a fan of kindness and compassion @papa-pepper hence I became a fan of you with your recent act of kindness. Will be upvoting your posts for a longgg time.

It blesses me to hear that. I just did what I felt I should.

In the world we live in now, it is very easy to be self-focused. To say that you felt it is what you SHOULD do says a lot about you. One of the reasons why you are, and will be, continuously blessed. The world needs more people like you :)

Thank you for that. It means a lot to me to hear it.

Yay, it is the least I can do- put down in words what lots other people think so too. Continue to be a blessing to others =^_^=

hi @dreamiely,nice comment

Thank you @arizonawise I'm sure we share the same thoughts on this :)

i joined this platform because my friend @ogochukwu told me its for writers and elites and i have come to believe. this is actually nice;improve your knowledge and still get a chance to get paid...definitely,we share the same thoughts on that,we all need a sense of propose.

Cool you phrased it that way- sense of purpose =^_^=

yea,being part of something big as this certainly gives one a sense of purpose

Congratulations @papa-pepper!

Up voted! Great, inspiring, uplifting post! I joined later than you but much earlier than most in my eye's. Beyond what you said it's just simply a lot of fun! I look forward to down the road a ways looking back as you are today with a big smile on my face as well. Steem on Papa!

A lot of fun and an excellent community to be a part of! What a time to be a steemian indeed!

Thanks for getting me interested in steemit @papa-pepper, I dig your posts about making posts!

STEEMit is the gift that keeps on giving, I've been in on Crypto for about 6 months now and Its been fantastic! That is until earlier today when my Coinbase account was hacked and I lost everything I had saved up and earned with successful trades. If you could, I would really appreciate if you could help me spread the word about some of the dangers associated with Crypto exchanges and coinbase in particular, as its also one of the reasons I am glad the 2% of btc that wasnt stolen was safely here on Steemit. I lost most all my BTC and my lifes savings (1.2BTC in total) https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@sensatus/if-you-have-a-coinbase-account-beware-spread-the-word-fellow-steemians-and-cryptotraders

nice post..thanks...btw crypto brought me to STEEM.....all the best mate.....

Glad to hear that crypto got you into steemit!

It seems that all kinds are meeting up here and adding to this wonderful community!

Nice to hear that. Congrats @papa-pepper.

Congrats to every steemian!

I am learning

We all are!

Me too :)

Me too @papa-pepper ! and thanks for all your great posts. Ive only been following you for a few days and have already picked up heaps of great information. Cheers!

Glad to hear it! I am trying to help others along the way!

it is great news

I wasn't here when the STEEM prize was around 10 cents and I truly regret that. But the moment I joined one month ago, I knew that I will never give up posting. STEEM is a great long term investment, I have no doubt about that. And I also have no doubt that one day I will be happy like you are now @papa-pepper :) Cheers!

Yes, there is still a lot of potential room for growth with STEEM, and it is great that so many of us are already earning it!

You hit the nail on this head with this one. I was a Facebook addict before finding this place, and now I'm trading coins AND doing a podcast. I joined 11 months ago. But 12 months ago you wouldn't have been able to convince me that today would be the way it is. I was interested in doing neither of those two things.
Life = changed.

I agree, I would have never guessed. A year ago, a computer was pretty much a typewriter with a screen to be and I spent about ZERO time online. I would have never guessed I would be doing what I now am.

Yes, we're living the Golden times of Cryptocurrencies... So enjoy the riiiiideeee

Riding!

Crazy prices!

I was away one day and this is what happened! :o

Does this mean that you should go away more often? LOL

Crazy prices indeed!

Please go away more often :p lol ... :) best of luck

LOL!

Yep, couldn't agree more. Steemit introduced me to crypto too, and what a ride it has been. I'm so glad I powered up a large amount of steem when it was still around 20 cents. I honestly believe Steem could reach above $10 within the next year or two. It's a live changing investment for those who choose to hold on. And just as important is the community here.

The community is incredible, and the potential of our currency is too. I think that STEEM will become HUGE one day, and this whole platform is already revolutionary!

Great sentiment. These kind of shooting gains give us humans major FOMO, that's why we tend to buy in at tops and give up at bottoms. However, compared to rest of the crypto market, Steem's gains seem totally sustainable, at least in the short term. Steem was once third in market cap - as far as usefulness, I think it can get back there again!

I think that there is a lot of potential room for growth for STEEM too. It is highly unlikely that BTC (for instance) will double in value by year end, but it is totally probable with STEEM.

Time will tell, but this is a great sign.

I am with you! So greatful for Steem, Steemit and @chainbb! I wish I would have blogged more when it was down and kept all my steem power! Thankfully I had a little steem left over when things started getting good again! You can bet this time I will do better!

Do better!

blessing to all steemiters

I can see a day coming soon when this platform will out grow the blogoshere!

I'm not sure what that is, but I still agree!

Steemit is a blessing to me and I have just begun to realize the blessings that havent't' been touched upon yet. Exciting times!

There is a lot more room for the blessings to flow out because of this community.

Hey nice chat there, I am new and its nice to see that nice coments of steemit!

It sure is!

Truly, crypto seems poised to change the fundamentals of finance...

I got to say, given the quality of your posts, we're very happy you're here too !!

One note though. How can the SteemDollar be worth 2$ ? I thought the whole point of that token was for it to be the equivalent of 1 US dollar ?
maybe I misunderstood XS

The value can fluctuate. It once went up to around $6. Even the USD continues to change in value.

Hmm, True. I just had this idea in head that the SBD was supposed to always be equal to a dollar. Thinking about it I don't know where I got that preconception XS

It's "pegged" to be worth about $1 USD, whatever that means, so it is more stable in value, but it still has the potential to fluctuate.

Interestingly enough, when the posts pay out half in SBD, you can actually sell it for twice as much in USD, which is crazy cool!

That IS cool XD

I'm so glad that STEEMIT got me out of lots of trashy cryptos.

I'm lucky that a good friend of mine told me about Crypto. I got some bitcoin two years ago and joined Steemit just two months ago. I sure hope things continue to advance here. Steemit could lift us all up :) Steemit is also a great way to get my artwork out to people. Really feeling appreciated here...

It is an excellent way to share your artwork with the world and to earn a bit for it too! I am glad to have an outlet for my creativity too! Be blessed!

Thank ya Papa! Good luck with your work. I'll stay tuned for your next post.

I was in 'crypto' back in the early seventies.
but it was a different kind of crypto.
If I told you about it I'd have to kill you.

tippy top CeeeKrete in the ChairForce..
and like that.

it shore wasn't like this..
for sure.

Now is the time to post - and celebrate @papa-pepper! WAHOO !! You are a GOOD and informative man - Rock On / STEEM On!!

steem cake.jpg

Steemit is a great platform.
It's kept my interest longer than any other in my 3 1/2 years here in cryptoland.

Great news for peoples like me as a beginners. We get motivated to be more active.

Who is happy? I am! I am!

Ooh, Oooh, Me too! Me too!

You are a good man, Papa-pepper!

You're proof that hard work and persistence pays off and I couldn't be happier for you and your family

Thank you very much @sireland. There was never a guarantee, but the opportunity was too huge to pass up! Thanks again!

Great information..wish I could be rewarded someday! ;)
thanks anyway!

it's really amazing that steemit grows very fast. It's now very close to re-gain its lost post at $4. Hope it'll cross $4 and set new ATH. Thank you sharing it :D

About 2 weeks ago you helped to win a nomination. Again one of my post is nominated. Plz, vote the following comment and help me to win. Thanks

Got it.

thank you

It's a great time to be involved in crypto, all of them are just skyrocketing

Yay! Wished I had know about Steemit before :(

It is just a good thing that you know about it now rather than later!

Well that's true, better late than never!

@papa-pepper Simply amazing what a community of spirited individuals can accomplish. I have successfully invested in real estate, metals and stocks have done fairly decent in my life, but this, This is HISTORIC.
There will never be another time like this in my opinion, just like there never truly was a 2nd Gold rush. We, and the rest of the Steemit Community, are living and making History.

full steem ahead!

Well said and I certainly share your excitement my friend!

STEEM ON!

Enjoy your post @papa-pepper. I found steemit by chance last November and until met with @hilarski in March didnt know what to make of it. Now its my new altcoin , source of news, entertainment and educative articles.

@papa-pepper , I can sense your thankfulness as the price goes up, seeing the vision of your family living the homestead lifestyle becoming a reality. So cool!
Steemit lured me onto the path of cryptocurrencies and I am most thankful also.

We just left the title office and purchased our land! Post to come soon!

Yea! The dream manifests. I am so excited for you and your family!
Just saw you gifted 1000 steem to @darthnava.
I salute your wonderful generosity @papa-pepper
Truly in the flow, bro

Great news!!!

go steem go, crypto is a life changing opportunity for this generation!

Me to @papa-pepper!! I am thankful everyday that I stumbled upon Steemit. And also thankful that I stumbled upon your blog. You do good work man!!

It is a blessing for all of humanity. The Steemians are just among the first ones to benefit from the rise in cryptocurrencies’ adoption and price. And Steemit has been an entry into the future of money for many of its members.

I raise this glass of delicious Swedish beer for an even brighter future for everyone who’s going to benefit from crypto in the future (which is pretty much everyone except the big bankers):

Hallelujah!
I want to experience it too.
Please help me,my friend.

Other way around here, Crypto got me into Steemit and now I am hooked!
I am a professional trader and spend majority of time on looking at TA and charts and ofcourse trading all random Alt coins and since last week I am just steeming away! I think Steemit will have a great future and I am very happy to be a part of this amazing Steemit community.

I like the fact that is is an easy way for people to earn some crypto. I just recently learned how to trade, but prior to that I had to have someone walk me through the process every time. Thanks!

Steemit is going to change many lives on this earth.. just yesterday steemit community came together to help a user with a much needed surgery. Glad we all find this great platform at such an early stage...

Slow and steady wins the race.

Let's take another slow step then @kyusho!

Thanks mate!

Steemit is awesome and I'm so glad it is doing so well! This is an example of hard work and determination paying off, huh?

It certainly is. I am glad to have seen you working hard and being awesome this whole time too!

Excellent perseverance @gringalicious!

Now if I only held onto the many many bitcoins I had a few years ago.... Lolol who would of know blow up this big!? Well I truthfully thought it would but not this quick, I sure was wrong. Well you live and learn, Steem on!!

Live and learn, and steem on @gre3n!

@papa-pepper Love your work. Saw your donation earlier-I love that Steemit is allowing things like that to happen. Like you said so brilliantly and simply-Currency is back in the common man's hand! <3 Check out my first Steemit post on Wikileaks, Julian Assange and his connections to mkultra programs in Australia! https://steemit.com/@ancientmystique <3
Looking forward to future interactions!

Thank you very much @ancientmystique!

This is a well timed post for maximizing earnings via upvotes. The entire crypto neighborhood is doing a collective "back slapping "WOOHOO!" because of the new highs in bitcoin, ethereum, STEEM, etc. Nice work! I am sure you will be there for everyone when "panic" ensues in very short order also. A note to all who read this spew, when "misery loves company" don't run to your mama. Run to your papa. :-)

A note to all who ready this spew, when "misery loves company" don't run to your mama. Run to your papa. :-)

LOL- Sure, send them my way! Thanks @joejustjoe!

Coming at you like a nightmare! Just look for my sell call at my blog.

For me, Gridcoin got me to Steemit, so yay for both...but more for Steemi ;>

However we all got here, I'm glad that we did. And I'm glad that I was able to join your world of crypto!

And we are so thankful that you're here in steemit. Making steemit great! :)

I am happy to be here too and to have the chance to meet all of you!

Love following your posts - cheers!

I am very glad to hear it @tommyquest!

I try to share, encourage, and inspire!

I just found Steemit, so glad I did.

Welcome aboard. We are glad that you have joined us!

Crypto led me to steemit! Or I should say ethereum did. I traded ether on etoro when it was added in February and was so impressed I wanted to actually buy and hold some. And that led me into the world of crypto. From there I found steemit.
I can honestly say crypto has changed my life for the better, no longer do I long for a better job or sick of the crap money I'm making, all I'm interested in now is finding new sources of income via cryptocurrencies. There's so many different routes to go and try. So far I've bought and sold for huge profit, mined with my mind on steemit, harvested with nem, bought into an ICO with VIVA, cloud mined with Genesis and hashflare and just today I got my first coins staking with pinkcoin.
It's an exciting world and I've still so so much to learn!

I still have a lot to learn too, and steemit gave me the incentive too!

I'm glad that crypto led you over here, as I believe that steemit will change how many things are done in this world. Thanks!

Its really good new for all the steemains ...You are the great

And I also glad steemit has good user like you papa. Without you steemit will like as I drink coffee withour sugar. Nice! :)

Congrats. Man, I don't know how you put out so much content. Keep up the good work!

I now have about 10 or 11 months of practice putting out good content every day, which is also thanks to steemit!

Thanks @pairmike!

Thank you for these encouraging words @papa-pepper ! That's true! I hope we're gonna be lucky to see the $2 steem go even higher !!! I am optimistix about it ans I think I'll earn steems for communicating with others and sharing valuable stuff! I love the idea behind it and I also wanna say Thank you Steemit.con dor giving us this opportunity :)

Thanks @papa-pepper your post is definitely worth resteeming!!! I'm gonna resteem it and follow you as well :)

It is a blessing that we found steemit for sure. Not just for the crypto, for the connections we have made. I count you as a dear friend @papa-pepper and we have yet to meet. That to me is priceless and I would not trade it for money.

Absolutely @papa-pepper! I'm very happy my friend told me about this site. I had zero knowledge when it came to crypto and this site has provided all kinds of useful information in understanding it. What a great platform for people to learn about all kinds of things here!

Agreed! It is amazing!

great news :)

Steeming content is king!

Like everyone here we're all hoping Steem and the other companies behind crypto coins take off. only got into the game 2 weeks ago. Its like a whole new world i discovered :)

Thank you for sharing stories with us every day @papa-pepper. Especially this post is very encouraging to post on Steemit every day! I love you :D!

Thank you for your post hopefully your post is useful
Best post @papa-pepper

1qenql.jpg

for me it was vice versa..lol .. Crypto got me into steemit.. ;) But its really fun and addictive.. ;)

Papa-pepper make it rain!

Lol!

I feel like yours. Many steemians become succesful crypto traders. I ll follow their step sooner.

Steem helped me to start mining ethereum ! Thanks !

Glad to see you still Steeming Papa-pepper. Keep up the good work!!

Awesome! I am glad to see that Steemit.com has reach outside the cryptocurrency community. Everyone I know using Steemit got into it by being interested in crypto and wanting to try an actual living example of a distributed App (dApp). I just wrote a post (like literally 10 minutes ago!) about how we need to attract more users from outside the cryptocurrency community. Great to see one of those users is already here! Keep up the good posts!

I'm more confortable now with the website and stuff, how to use it and how and why I get rewards. But I don't know anything about Cryptocurrencies and stuff trading and a lot of things I see people talking about here.

So the rewards I've gotten which are now in my wallet... Do they have more value now or... ?

I started watching your video series. Maybe that'll answer some of my questions. Is there any other place where I can become more knowledgeable of the Steem platform? @papa-pepper

Last I checked each STEEM or SP is worth about $2.50 USD & each SBD is worth over $2 USD.

Take a peak in you wallet and do the math. They have more value now.

So 4 SBD is 8 dollars? Just like that? 4 was 4 yesterday but today 4 is 8?
That's awesome.

Yup!

Best community on the market!

LOL! Very valid point!

I agree whole heartedly! It has provided an opportunity for some people to do some real good with it... like give 1000 of it to a community member in need.

You are a class act Mr. Pepper. A class act.

Well, I was certainly not alone in giving to @darthnava, and I would not have even had the opportunity without steemit. Thank you @hanshotfirst.

I don't want to get too sappy or get too far out my skis... but yesterday was a prime example of how steemit has the power to change the world... because you don't change the world all at once. You do it one person at a time.

Very valid (and un-sappy) point my friend.

That was amazing to see, and inspirational to a lot of us!

Exciting times we live in! Thanks for sharing about steemit with us :)

You are welcome my friend! We will see what happens from here!

Yes i agree with you the future is here just joined the world of crypto it's daunting yet exciting at the same time

Steem on! I started at 90 cents, look at where we are now!

Plenty of room for growth left too!

i joined steemit last week after my good friend/brother @ogochukwu told me about it,and i must say that since then,though i have not posted any content aside from my intro post,cos i have been trying to know how it works and also to make friends that i will follow and get directives. and i must say,@papa-pepper i have lost count how many time your name have been mentioned as a source of inspiration or your advises on various interviews. just like its is written on the home page when one registers,just have fun and you could earn. once more on behalf of all the newbies stemians, i say a big thank yo,u seeing people like you gives us hope. if there is any advice on how to cave a niche for my self here,feel free to drop.thanks

Very cool. I see my name out there a lot too.

Glad to know I encourage and inspire others.

Thank you.

you welcome sir...i want to ask,why the name papa pepper..? if its not personal though.

I am a papa, as I have five children now, and a gardener who really likes peppers.

ok..i thought as much...wow five children and they allow you to invest much time on the internet..?it seems like American kids doesn't disturb like Nigerians. you are really trying sir.

Your a wise man @Papa -Pepper the opportunities are so unbelievable big in crypto And yes a big Shout OUT to Steemit for giving us the opportunity to be part of the future of money and being part of making History .

Glad to know that!

You are welcome.

All aboard guys! We are only getting started!

I'm also very glad you got into Steemit, for the information you've provided has proved invaluable at helping this newbie navigate through this brilliant platform. Thanks for the help, and I wish you all the best on your onwards and upwards journey.

Good planning papa, mini pepper has arrived just in time to prevent you from having long sleep filled nights. So while doing the daddy bit, and waiting for mini to go back to sleep, you can steem and bring self sufficiency that much closer.
This was long term planning at its best, well done.

Haha! Prevent me from having long sleep filled nights!

Oh, that reminds me, it is 1:30 and I have to be on the road by 4 am... Good night!
