I remember spending a couple hours to read the Steem whitepaper. It helped answer many of my questions. It also explained how just because Steem is inflationary, that doesn't mean the value of each token will decrease in value as more are created (thanks to Steem Power).
I do think Steem will be successful. At the same time, I am enjoying the time I spend writing thorough blog posts. If anything, I at least improved my writing style.

I tried reading the SMT whitepaper. I understood some of it, but then it got into the mostly programming aspect of it and math as well. I didn't really focus much on those parts but the rest of it was good and made a lot of sense.

Where was i since 2016? ...
I still feel terrible that i discovered Steemit a month ago.
I feel like i wasted 2 good years and i'm still hitting my head on the way for this.

I've read through the white paper. This platform is still warming up!
I don't have fait currency to invest in steem... But when i earn SBD i always try to power up no matter how small it is.
I urge everyone to believe in steem and there future.

Keep Steeming!

No need bashing yourself. Whatever you are purposed to earn on this platform you will earn. Everything is Divinely Timed and Divinely Orchestrated. Realize that anything you would have earned in the previous months, would have been lost to equal what you have today.

The same here ... however ... in 2017 (i guess) there was the Steem crash, which lost 95% of its value ... back then it was the third most valuable crypto ... that is actually good for us ... as the the platform is now solid and mature, and the value of Steem is affordable ... a great future is ahead!

Thanks @exyle. This really give people who are just getting started, like me, motivation to keep writing. You are certainly right, the main reason that I am writing on Steemit is because I really enjoy the content that I make (usually neuroscience related). Steemit provides an incentive to continue doing so. There is no other platform where I could earn money just by posting my work. I am also reinvesting everything into the platform and see this as a long term opportunity.

Thanks so much for these videos!

Really i am inspired reading your post . Now i am seeing my steemit future through your post . only 10 cent in 1 steem was in 2016, day by day steem growing up to highest level . Thank you very much for your inspirational post. I earn mental energy reading your post .

moneyinfant (56) · 7 years ago

I think it's a great help if you have the mindset that Steem will eventually be worth $10 or $20 or even more. It evens out that time/reward curve. But like you, when you were making $0.10 a post, it helps even more if you love the process of creating, and of interacting with other creators. You might not get rich, but you'll have a more rewarding and fulfilling experience.

diogosantos (62) · 7 years ago

It´s definitely the right decision to hold to any STEEM/SBD we get, the small amount that looks ridiculous now will be worth a good amount in some years (I usually think in a 5 year time).

Living in the moment is a mistake, especially if you are in so early in the crypto world, if everybody says that the Blockchain technology is something that will change the way world operate, then all of those people are crazy? other than the small fact that many of them are already billionaires just from believing in it.

olayar (47) · 7 years ago (edited)

I did think about this the other day. I must confess I have not been very active due to life events, but when I first joined I did buy 120 STEEM (they were about $0.80 at the the time) and invested it into SP because I thought the platform was worth the investment. Even if I did not use it myself that much due to a lack of time. Low and behold my investement has now grown so I have made x7, but I am keeping it in the platform for exactly the same reason; projects like this need to be nurtured and supported, regardless of personal gain, because money is just money, but community is priceless in today's world. Thanks for the post, it is useful to ponder these things.

jlufer (75) · 7 years ago

Excellent post dear friend @exyle, very good point that you have touched and I totally share your opinion, unfortunately I have not been able to save all my steem won, still I do not have saving capacity, however this is in my doing, a while ago I read a material , where they affirm that the estimated price of the steem for the year 2020 is US $ 20.00, my personal opinion is that this value will be half of what the value of the steem could reach.
Thank you very much for sharing all this information, I wish you a prosperous week

trudereed (41) · 7 years ago

Thanks, I did not even think of that, the increase in value! Ha! Well I believe in Steem but more than that, I am enjoying writing and sharing here, its interesting finding new people here with and the rewards, even though small for now, its still encouraging, and good practice.

Time test the person out and that's truly applicable on steemit we have seen steem in the cents and today it is way up higher and the more people have just joined in due to the high prices if it goes back to dollar one many might go away but those who remain during tough time deserves it

fakeinternetnews (56) · 7 years ago

Thanks for the moral support Exyle! Yes, I agree the long view is the only way to look at Steem currently.

So far I've made the effort to blog at least once a day. And even if it's only a pic I am sharing from my cache of photos, I am also posting the photographer's information. This allows me to share part of my technique. And it allows me to build a body of work that is consistent and carries my "voice".

Of course I have much bigger plans for my activity for Steemit and Dtube. As you can see by my name, I was inspired to combat both main stream news that is obviously controlled by mega-corporations and vloggers with ideas I disagree with. It's a classic case of "Think for yourself, question authority" as a guideline for what I cover.

But, also being a filmmaker, the goal here would be for me to create consistent professional content and have enough Steem generated from the series where it funds itself. And by "funds itself", I mean I am able to hire a few crew members and some good actors.

So far the only issue I've had is being able to consistently upload to Dtube. I suppose it's because it is new and perhaps has some bugs. And I hope the more this is mentioned the sooner this issue will be fixed.

So yes, long view of the situation is key. And knowing "content is king", being a filmmaker, writer, comic actor, UFO investigator, and artist will give FakeInternetNews a lot of content creations choices for a long time.

As far as security and everyone being able to see everyone else's wallet, well, I am going to allow that issue to be solved by people who understand how to deal with electronic theft. Granted, I know there is a real danger in terms of abduction and key stealing, but that seems like a possibility only of you are in somewhere without a good security infrastructure basics such as police, courts, jails, etc... (and here in the USA, a lot of us carry firearms for the very practical purpose of self-defense.).

But, to me, pondering this idea of Steem theft seems out of my realm and expertise. I would rather focus on the positives of earning Steem by content creation and interaction with other creators.

So, we all appreciate you demonstrating how someone can earn well using the Steem blockchain. The whole thing seems like the "next big thing" waiting to happen. And as you mention it's very young still, when you consider how quickly the internet giants rose to power, it does not take a lot of imagination to think about Steemit and Dtube becomming major players.

Yes it is worth it. Many people gave up from the first month because they wanted the fast high reward and didnt get it. But you have been patient and now well rewarded :)

iamanwaar (44) · 7 years ago

Exactly brother thats the beauty of this platform,if one come in and join it for the sake of quick money then certainly this platform is not for him.for me I think patience and persistence and valuable content are the key elements to keep in mind if one aspires to be a good steemian.it will reward you back so much so that sometimes it's beyond imagination.
Same thing happens with the trading of crypto currencies.

clayjr (47) · 7 years ago

@exyle, True, every piece or recognition is recognition... I'm new on Steemit myself, and of course, it will take a while... but why would I care? It is like you say... as long as you love doing what you do, and you feel good about it... that's the most important. Good explanation and nice to read a bit about how it started for you. Thanks for sharing!

blog-beginner (53) · 7 years ago

Exactly my point. I have friends who right away compare my 2 hours of blog writing with $10. What they forget is 5 years later.
And not to forget the reputation and followers. Sure those are intangible but very significant.

calatorulmiop (57) · 7 years ago (edited)

The issue of privacy versus transparency will become even bigger in the future as steem goes up in price. I hope we don't get around to see extortions and things of that nature happening in order to steel one's steem but if the price goes high enough anything could happen.

starving (55) · 7 years ago

time is certainly something i remember there was a user trying to make fun of your but he don't understand the time and patience you have shown no one can put that much effort and patience people just see outside result not the efforts behind it

robmenzies (46) · 7 years ago

@exyle
There is so much more inherent value in the platform than most people give it credit for. If people aren’t happy with the results they are having on the platform then they need to take a close look at themselves. They need to think how they are interacting with other people. If they are sitting at tha back wall of the blockchain and having no interaction then they are just as well going back to FB or twitter. Building a brand of any sort takes time, and it takes time for that brand to be recognised. Sadly too many people are out for a quick fix/buck and do not want to do the lef work for it, but sadly they will be dissapointed and leave.

I can only speak for myself when i say i have never worked so hard on a social media platform to connect and comment and post blogs, but all i can say is, it will pay off in due course. As i mentioned in a post the other day we have to be like the movie field of dreams and believe in this

build it and they will come

There are many ways people can be successful on the steem blockchain they just need to get focused on what they want to do or if they want to be eratic and post about everything then it will work, will take time to build a solid following as tou brand will be disorganised and confusing. Take this ealry time and ask yourself what you want to do and achieve and set goals. Otherwise people will flounder of into the abyss.

Great post @exyle keep up the good work!!

yaan (59) · 7 years ago (edited)

Thanks for that @exyle. It helped me clarify what was has been getting me down here this past week. It's not really about the money for me or the long term it's more about how I and others play the game. I will reflect more on this whilst keeping on blogging!

@exyle you have grown exceptionally well on this platform, from $0.10 to $200 per post in itself is a great achievement and yes you right in saying that earning 1 STEEM from a post is also a good achievement because the value of STEEM is still very under priced and once SMT's are launched it surely going to reach atleast $15 -$20 ...I am very optimistic on the future value of STEEM blockchain!

motherearthist (49) · 7 years ago

Yes, definitely right. But one thing in my mind keeps me worry about that if Steem increase really high. All of us want that :) It's going to be very hard to convert your earning to Steem Power. Because the SP calculation base on USD. it must good for early days, when the Steem lower than USD.

sistem (60) · 7 years ago (edited)

I think people who take it all in steemit are those who havnt still developed trust in the system. Those who trust the potentials of the system know well to save up some steem or better still power up. It takes a lot of balls as no one actually knows tomorrow but those who started earlier than now are enjoying because of the decisions they made some donkey months ago in 2016, people like you precisely . If I start saving up now, I don't think it is late and that's why I have been able to save up a little steem and will do better with time.

You wrote 2 years ago history about steem. If those days steem worth was 0.10 also it will be $ 10 or $20 in future. It's possible target I believe. STEEM is the foundational cryptocurrency of the Steemit network. STEEM can be exchanged for bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies via several prominent exchanges. In order to cast votes, however, you need to turn your STEEM into Steem Power. In fact, if you can hodl steem now its better way. If I'm wrong please correct me because I'm not a financial adviser.

drutter (69) · 7 years ago

Your best case scenario is still pretty awful.
A post that earns $4 right now is very hard to do. A beginner might have to work for a few days just to produce content that would earn $4. I would know, I've been doing Steemit full time for 5 weeks, and my posts only get about 20 cents.
Even if a newbie lucked out with a $4 post, your suggestion that he or she sit on it for a few years so that it MIGHT go up to $20 is stretching it!
Nobody wants to work for days, luck out, and then wait 3 years just for twenty bucks.
And that's the best case scenario?
I think the "good content" finding mechanism on Steemit is broken. The reward pool isn't going to new accounts posting original content, as it should.... it's going to people who have figured out how to game the system and make a living upvoting on their own spam.

considering how low i'm earning here currently, posts like this makes me not wanna give on steemit...and then there's the thrill in writing!

The long term is all that matters. Back in 2010, it took 10,000 Bitcoins to buy 2 pizzas... Can you imagine what would happen if STEEM ends up at $10,000 in a few years?

The post is very inspiring, hopefully this steemit can be more advanced with the presence of a genius like you.
