Contest: How do you express gratitude to the Steemit team?

It's really pleasing to join in this nice contest; truly, the Steemit team has done a lot of good things for us. If they didn't arrive, how would we survive on the platform? They have just made everything easy for us by investing in us and giving us great support. They have organized lots of things that have helped everyone grow, things like the power-up and club status, the engagement challenge, and community curators. They have made it really easy for everyone's post to be located, no matter where you posted it or the time.

Steemit has really had a positive influence on my life, made it easy for me to provide for some of my needs, and has also saved me during times of hardship and struggle in life. Steemit is one platform that is trusted and that does not steal or cheat its users; everyone gets their accurate reward after post-payout, and there is no loss of assets by any means on the platform.

Steemit has saved me in such a way that it has provided for me and made me know that this is the only good friend I have in my life, because when these problems arose in my life, all my friends ran away and I had no one to share my problems with. Each day and night, I will login to my Steemit account and create posts that give me the resources to sponsor myself during the times I had obstacles in paying bills and school fees. I can really say that I am thankful to Steemit because, if not for it, I would not have completed my education.

I am 100% sure that the Steemit platform is the best of all platforms in the world, and I can equally prove it with some good points.

• Decentralization: Steemit is the only platform among all in this world that is decentralized; its power or control does not fall into the hands of one or two persons, but rather everyone has the power over his or her account. You can really compare it with other platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. On these platforms, you have your password, but everything is not decentralized but rather centralized. The reason why I said this is that the developers have the right to deny you the right to use your account at anytime, but such things do not happen here on Steemit.

• Proper distribution of reward: It is only in Steemit that everyone earns without headache or loss of asset, but in other platforms, all we do is brunt our data for them, and at the end of the day they get huge amounts of money and take them all for themselves. But here on Steemit, both investors and content creators have the right to earn.

• A good influence on our lives: It is here on Steemit that you can really learn good things that other platforms can never provide. Here in Steemit, they don't accept rubbish pictures or videos but rather promote and sponsor posts that will create good value and impact in the lives of their users, and I think Steemit is the best platform where you can chat and also earn.

• Fundraising for those in need: I have seen on so many occasions where the curators donate 100% of their votes to those who are really in need of money to solve their health or family problems, but in other situations, these things are not seen; rather, everyone focuses only on their own lifestyle and never wants to help others who are deeply in need.

There are so many uncountable reasons why I am really grateful to the Steemit team, not just because of the curation service they have issued to everyone but also because of the good rules they have just established on the platform. I don't really think things would have been easy for us all. They didn't only provide voting services but also introduced some sets of rules like the club status, the Steemit engagement challenge, the fight against plagiarism, and community curators.

The club status is really helpful to each of us because it helps us save our STEEM by powering it up and getting more reward for our hard work.

The Steemit engagement challenge has helped to unite Steemians around the world. Each week, the Steemit team selects communities around the world that provide topics that everyone deliberates on. These activities have helped us grow, therefore reuniting us all.

They have also played a good role in seeing that they fight against plagiarism in any way they could; they have instructed the communities to appoint moderators who evaluate posts and mark out those cheating Steemians who copy posts from other sources.

The community curators have really helped us all so much because there is no way that you can come to the platform and start earning highly; you have to start from the bottom, and these community curators have provided that for us through the Steemit team.

These are the reasons why I am really grateful to the Steemit team. Truly, the Steemit team has really sacrificed everything for us so that we can really grow and help ourselves to solve some little problems in our lives, which I have also benefited from.

I will say a big thank you to them. I will like to invite @cryptobitcoins, @cryptolover, and @graceani to participate in this contest.
