Very nice video. And your right. Things you post on D-Tube show up on Steemit. They use the same blockchain just different User Interfaces.

Hey @konelectric! Thanks!
I gotta say, it was very hard for me to figure out how to post my own thumbnail, or "snap" as its called. I'm not even sure how i did it.

Great to see you "LIVE" Connie!
I look forward to seeing more of your videos and learning more and more about a whole bunch of very exciting topics. So, far, they have been quite amazing, diverse, greatly entertaining and most definitely educational.
Namaste :)

In deed, there's a D.Live, a D.Tube and the list is building up for the Steemit virtual ecosystem flourishing all out. Exciting times among crypto-realms right now...
Namaste :)

I will look in to that next @eric-boucher!
Can you help me out...? I started doing some testing with the upvoting.. I have been doing some 50/50 upvoting... Where does it go? Also, when i go full power and then want to cash in, does that take a long time to do? I would guess a 3rd questions might be, when the price of Steem gets to a point of wanting to cash in for some reason, am i not able to do that right away unless I have gone 50/50? I am confused with the $$$ part. If you can help, thanks...

@bluerocktalk, these are excellent questions, not the most obvious ones to find an answer to. But I'll try to make it easily understandable, just let me know what you think.
First, the 50/50 refers to the return on your rewards when the payout comes back your way 50% comes back in SBD while the other 50% comes back in the form of Stem Power. This way, 50% of your content creation -whether it is a comment or an entire article- or upvoting goes straight into the Steemit network pool and, therefore, empowers the entire platform with more and more sustainability in times of ups and downs in value, as well as when people withdraw Steem from the platform. As you might have read, this is a process created to keep the value of the Steem more steady on the long run as it takes a full 13 weeks to withdraw ALL of your Steem Power and turn it into Steem. I just hit two (if not three) birds with one stone, didn't I!?!
In relation to the Steem and the Steem Backed Dollar (SBD), you can withdraw right away to transfer the value of it into other cryptocurrencies or simply cash out as you say. What makes our platform sustainable is the pool of Steem Power. The Steem and the SBD allows us easy and almost instantaneous trading capacity. The Steem and the SBD both greatly fluctuate these days, though the SBD should most of the time be pegged at a value very close to the US dollar, it is now worth USD $11.42 while the Steem is at USD $2.36!?!
Just as a reminder, maybe you have read about the upvoting and the daily 20 upvotes that are given to you to vote with at a 100% of your Steem Power. Make sure you try to keep your voting power as close to 100% as possible, unless it is highly worthwhile for you to fo otherwise, for example if you leave for a day or two without access to the internet thus not being able to use any of your votes...
In hope some of it makes some sense to you, have a wonderful day, keep your smile and taking good care, Steem on and, above all, thrive on! Namaste :)

@eric-boucher, ok... now i am more confused. lol...
🤔 hmmm, let me ask you this, and thank you for your great patience!
Ok, I want to pay off a credit card... the quicker the better. What is my best strategy in terms of 50/50 or full 100% and also what to do when these prices are so high. I feel like i should be doing something to grow it, but not sure what that is. Please feel free to look at my wallet and see where to start there. It will help me greatly. I am confused by the STEEM and SBD too. 😳
Thank you again if you have time, I am around (so is my interest on this darn credit card-arg) 😜

Looking at your wallet, I'd say you don't have tons of revenue to acquire for the moment, even if you want to pay for your credit card... If you want to allow for Steem and SBD to come into your wallet as quickly as possible in order to use it to pay off your credit card. I'd suggest posting a lot of quality and go with the 50/50 option as, at least this way, you get half of the reward in usable/tradable Steem Back Dollar! Especially now that the SBD is so high in value, you'll be able to make a lot of "cash" quickly. Meanwhile, the other 50% goes into the Steem Power to uplift the Steemit platform, sort of like a back up for the whole ecosystem to be supported safely thus not having to worry about dropping like a bomb. The people invested can't suddenly withdraw and leave with a large chunk or all the assets of Steemit.com! Notice how the so-called 100% refers to the Steem Power? That means that if you click this one, you end up investing everything into the platform and don't leave yourself any space to maneuver with liquidity Steem or SBD. Using the 50/50 is the best option in your case and, as an investor myself, find it very useful to have some extra cash to reinvest into what created the possibility for Steemit.com to see the light of day: Thus, I reinvest into cryptocurrencies that are its relatives and, more often than otherwise, I choose to invest it into BitShares.
How's that? I hope it shed some more light on the nebulous vision that you had earlier... Namaste :)

SBD is trading for $11. Why 100% power up?

Talk to me @luna33, give me your advice, I am VERY new to this. I take all advice, and appreciate it. Please feel free to take a look at my wallet as you answer. Thank you kindly!

When you power up 100% you get 100% of the rewards in STEEM POWER.
Considering the price of SBD is $10+ you would earn a lot more by using the 50/50 reward option.
Looks like you figured it out yourself tho!

Don't worry too much about being new; working in Radio you already know what to avoid. I read through the comments a lot and find this community very different from YT. Usually folks are very helpful, supportive and polite, others are just in it for money and use a generic comment they post on every video and some, I suspect, are Bots. It takes all kinds; welcome to DTube where most everyone is a Newb.

thank you @onnovocks. I appreciate the information and support. If I play my videos from YT on STEEMIT, I get more views there and possibly a subscriber or 2. Do you think its more profitable, since I am doing this for a living, here or YT? I am still building my brand for sure.

Well, my YT channel is not monetized, so I can not make a direct comparison in regard to income. I did notice that on YT I often get more views from Facebook than from YT, so posting the links elswhere can't hurt. I think the biggest benefit from Steemit comes from having a way to get into Crypto currency without shelling out cash. Also since Steemit is a new platform you won't face competition from the long established channels that seem to enjoy favor in YT and on Steemit/DTube you get rewarded right away without being "advertiser friendly". In other words, the viewer decides what's worth watching instead of the same corporations that are killing Print, Radio and TV by withholding advertising dollars. That being said; YT is fantastic in it's features and sound/image quality. If those are qualities that matter to you, you could use both, YT for the video and Steemit for articles providing further information. I hope this gives a bit of insight into the difference between the 2. In your shoes I would probably concentrate on the platform where the numbers grow the fastest and that may well be DTube/Steemit.

Woah! Nobody has time for that! I had the experience of creating my thumbnail in .PNG, but needing it to be JPG in the end to be small enough to upload yet still look nice. I didn't realize at first that having it in .PNG was going to be impractical for their settings. I also had the experience of my internet getting temporarily disrupted and having to start all over again because it wouldn't upload the last few details (like thumbnail).
