Congrats mate on all that you've achieved through Steemit so far!

A question for you - If you can throw $10k at any crypto project under the raidor at the moment, what would it be and why?

Thanks m8. Seems like nothing's under the radar at the moment haha.. but i'd probably say Viva actually. Not been catching up that much, but hearing good stuff being worked on atm..

Yes, VIVA definitely has heaps of potential, especially with all the upcoming changes with TradeQwik.

I've also got my eye on a couple of other projects, Equibit which will be having a second ICO very soon, and Sphre which I'm thinking of investing in after the Stellar Lumins distribution.

Haven't looked into those.. can't handle too many coins.. soon will need bots to do these things.. lol

Hi AI. It seems you really doing a great job, if you are really a AI XD! Do you have any opinion for the rapid raise and drop for eth recently? And which token do you suggest for me, a person who gonna take his first step in altcoin Xd!

Anyway, thanks for your great effort for the community.

vota por me

I love Eth's marketing, but i'm recently getting worried bout their actual technical capabilities, which is why i'm holding less eth now. Oh man, it's hard to suggest. If you're using disposable cash aka money u can lose then it's pretty easy lol. I think index-type coins like TaaS, ICNX, BCAP are fine since they're essentially buying into multiple coins. I think @kingscrown would be a great resource for this :)

(so can't really tell if i'm an AI, right?)

Thanks man, will definitely consider your advice!

what's advantages and disadvantages of putting 100% power on your post ? What's the best time to post ?
Great content btw !
Check my stats 4 days 115 followers and i made twice to hot page
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@mirage/proper-introduction-of-myself-hey-steemians
Thanks 🙏

Advantages are that it forces you to keep steem power (which could turn out to be a good thing), and maybe it could also affect how people perceive your account. If you're 100% power up all the time, maybe people see you as a long-term player and would want to support more. But that's just perception. Nowadays it may be better to do 50% / 50% for a variety of reasons.

No best time to post really! I publish anytime. But if you want to try, observe american timing. Publish something in their morning/afternoons :)

vota por me

hi kevin! I can relate with the adiction over steem as a social platform and since is the first one I get too involved too I kinda feel your struggle about fittig all this time on internet here, plus RL. but well this is a good kind of addiction at least for me so far.
oh.. I wish I could know at least a quartier part of what you and other crypto investers know lol I'm such a newbie that just discovered this amazing world!
I didn't know you work in the music industry, that's pretty cool, fellow musician. Now it makes much more sense your good taste in music.
my 2 questions would be:
1- wich genres do you work in your music company events?
2- so, do you suggest me to hold my steem just as steem liquid or to power up? I'm kinda indecise about what to do and what to expect in the steem's near future price.
pd: this was an amazing playlist to put on 2am while reading.

Hey @aneblueberry, im actually not much into the music currently pushed by my company, i left it up to the main partner to grow the business and theyve chosen trance mainly at the moment, which is a good decision. We can later go to other genres.

Steem power is definitely for long-term. No point powering up if you need the cash or quick profits short term!

Love this post! Thanks for all the information about your Steemit account !

What is your favorite aspect?

It was fun checking it after a year. Thanks @soldier :)

Does the HF19 worry you or excite you, and why?
Your curation skills are amazing!

My curation is nowhere near the 5 that I'm following.. check them out!

Hmm no thoughts on HF19, but if more users feel empowered, i guess it's a good thing overall?

Yeah, I guess we will see less voting at full power, but each vote is worth more. Hmm, I wonder how that will play out. Will people still vote the way they want or will they vote more quality vs being able to help out a minnow? In the end i guess you summed it up good if it makes more people feel empowered then its a good thing! Thanks for your reply. @kevinwong

What do you think about renting delegated steem power instead of powering down? I am trying to figure out about whaleshares and the different ways to get this done. Thanks

Never thought of that really! Might be way better than powering down, of course, but doesn't seem like it will involve a trade that can be easily quantified. How much to rent out X amount of SP?

Say I offered 200 bitshares a week for 25,000 delegated steem power, you get cash and keep vested and I am able to curate with more steem power. Just throwing numbers out... You might have a more acurate conversion that would be closer to market.

Have fun in your event!

I guess my question is how big is the crypto scene over where you're at?

And how does it feel to have your Hodl strategy work out so well for you? Hehehe

It's getting bigger I think, but I tend not to get myself involved as it always seemed like MLM stuff instead of actual development..

Haha pretty happy about it, although prepared to lose everything too!

ahh.. i understand. MLMs are the worst and if there's nothing special about whatever "token" being introduced, im not going anywhere near it.

prepared to lose everything

hmmm.. only invest what you're prepared to lose? i see what you did there.. woahh..

Yeah using disposable cash is the best for crypto. Just hold without fear, the upside is huge. No point selling stuff quick, u'll miss out on the moonshots.. whatever i earn in crypto i rarely cash out to national currencies actually.

I'll model that principle. in terms of Steem itself the value in holding already outweigh the extra money gained from cashing out. Im already in the process of tightening down my budget to first pay my debt and then slowly trickle the rest into crypto. Granted i don't have much, But i'm happy with my progress so far.

the National currency where I am is already in shambles. no point "saving up" cash in the bank.

I wonder how my life looks like when >80% of my assets are in crypto.

Good to see you are doing so well, it's much deserved :)
Smart move you made by diversifying your portfolio, I hope you got to buy up some more while the sale was on in the week :D

Thanks @cryptodan :)
Which are your top altcoins atm?

I'm not into ICOs, since they tend to be pump and dump. But I think we will see further growth potential in the coming months for some altcoins. This is because traders and investors are uncertain about the hard and soft fork issues with BTC. Which is why they will shift their balance of their portfolio towards altcoins.

My picks would be:

Litecoin
Ethereum Classic
Dash
Siacoin (my personal favorite atm, I'm up with about 90%)

EDIT: I Would like to know your top picks too :)

Nice stats Kevin! I wish I had followed your lead and held onto my peanuts! Or even what @nanzo-scoop did, and bought more peanuts.

But hey-ho, I'm just happy that Steem is on the rise again; and I'm here chatting to you and all my old and new Steemians. :-)

Cg

In a way its also giving others cheap steem while also being able to spend your spoils in fiat :) Planning to do spotlight series again?

True; I hadn't really thought I was being alturistic by selling off like that!

Funny you should ask, because I'm actually in the process of revamping it, watch this space!

Cg

Wow, I can't believe you're over 3,000 followers! Okay...well maybe I can believe it since you're a prolific blogger. I was stoked about almost getting to 1,000. Haha

I can't believe it too.. but i guess maybe 50% of them are inactive lol.

I joined last summer as well. I'm just a pleb and stopped posting for a while. I'm not that into social media. I do have a few ideas though about what I can provide as far as content for here and possibly youtube (would be nice if we can just upload videos straight to Steemit). We will see how much time I have this summer to get the ball rolling.

That's cool, i never used social media before this, except well FB, but that's just keeping in touch with people.. i guess u'd have to wait for SteemQ then for videos..

Cool, didn't know they had plans for that... Do you know when they plan on releasing that?

I'm just impressed with your posting. You deserve all the power and success you have on steemit. @kevinwong, What are some of the tokens you hold outside of steem? Enjoy the comfort of pajamas and Steem On!

Thanks for the kind words @runridefly :)
What i can think of atm:-

  • Lisk
  • Aragon
  • BCAP
  • Mysterium
  • BTS
  • TaaS
  • Hush
  • Muse
  • IOTA
  • MobileGo
  • Peerplays
  • Swarm.city
  • Viva Crowns
  • Cofound.it

A lot of solid tech in that list!

Nice journey! You've come quite a long way. Here's my question. What do you ultimately want to achieve here on steemit or with steem?

Buy a LAMBO. Haha just joking.. I guess just building out cooperative communities around here, and push the idea that we should be able to earn a little something out of working on our interests. Steem also seems to be like valve corporation, except, well more open. Check out their employee handbook :)

Kevin thank you for opening up yourself to questions because I been dying to pick your brain ever since I joined this platform. Do you think SteemIt is going to be more of social platform for cryptocurrency enthusiast or will it really compete with Reddit and FaceBook one day. $25 by 2020 would be amazing and I believe that to possible as well - like I have told many people I am on the Steem train for the long haul and I am going to buy getting more and more Steem and SteemPower in the future.

Hmm it could go both ways. In any case, i think Steem's valuation will be way higher than Reddit / Facebook with the same population of users.. so I dont think Steem needs to be super mainstream like a billion users. Just a million would do too, if most of us are sharing our assets via steem power. But it could happen, if the blockchain setup can support that massive scale..

woow!!! you surely have been doing a lot of vote distributing ,thank you for supporting steemitians ,i am sure your efforts are now paying off."The graph is bugged as I'm not doing a 1:1 ratio on my follows" lol are you sure about that.

Yeah looks like i'm at a 1:5 ratio! Can't follow too many as I wanna keep my home feed relevant, but it's also too much already tbh..

It shows that you doing a great job on this platform,well i can only say keep it up !!!!

th (3).jpg

Great breakdown! Just started 2 weeks ago, on my way to elite status on steemit, I think! 😂😂

Stackin them Steem eh? All the best man hope u're having lots of fun!

Not as much as you @kevinwong but you deserve it, you put the work in for about a year. Keep on STACKIN! :)

As someone who just got their account up and running today, I'm wondering how I will ever log off lol. That is some amazing and inspiring information you are sharing. Thanks for your post and I look forward to finding the time to go back and read your previous post. Thanks Kevinwong. Wishing peace and prosperity to you from Vietnam.

Feel free to ask any questions - we have a chat platform over in https://steemit.chat . thanks for the kind words :)

When you make memes, are your best ones made quickly right when you see them, or after you see the picture and think a while? And thanks for helping out steemgigs, it's an awesome endeavor! I am also new to social media, no followers from anywhere else. Only friends and family on Facebook. So it's good to know it's possible! Thanks for all you do!!

Oh i'm not related to steemgigs, just working on something similar. I usually take quite a long time for any of my posts even if it's short lol. Plenty of considerations, even some walkaround in the corriders thinking if my blogroll would start to seem too spammy, but I'd really like to use the platform freely sometimes.

What's the benefit from accumulating more steem power that I get??
when SP increases, the people that I follow get benefit from my vote, but I don't understand what's my benefit from it.

Steem Power? More voting / curation rewards and influence over the network. Your vote provides higher $ amount too. Here's a guide: https://steemit.com/steem/@kevinwong/why-should-you-consider-accumulating-steem-power

(Just by voting, u actually get a slice of the rewards. So best if u find good posts which are undervalued, before it gets popular, so u'll get better rewards from your good taste in voting! )

Great post, gives the rest of us motivation to keep steeming and diversifying into various cryptos.

Stay decentralised :)

wow! you posted 55 minutes ago and already 322 votes! every word you type is magic man :) all your earning from steemit is just from blogging ? no investment?

There are autovote bots, unfortunately (and fortunately). Hmm i've thrown in a couple hundred of ethers when steem was 2 dollars in 2016. It went to 20 cents, but I just held on. Now i'm glad the price has returned to 2 dollars :)

Great post Kevin.. did you slowly build up the Steem Power you have now or did buy Steem? Just curious

A mix of both. A couple hundred ethers into Steem, but i earned way more than I put in.

Cool, I'm just getring started, earning my way.. but I might buy some Steem as well. I'm with you, $25 Steem seems like a real possibility down the road

The number's kinda high.. lol. All the best @drewley have fun :)

Hi @kevinwong I was wondering, did you ever go really wong (see, what I did there?) on a coin and lost big?

Thanks for your post and have a great day :)

Hmm nope. I just hold till they're back at a good price.. been working so far. I think it's going to work generally because the industry is still so young, and there are plenty of cash floating around..

Thats what I like to believe as well. The market is growing and will continu to grow in the upcoming decades, unless those white collared crooks put there hands in the crypto jar, but lets hope they dont find a way how to..

Hi!

I heard about three parties opposing each other thinking they know what's best for bitcoin blockchain, the Bitmain, the UASF and the Segwit+2mb. Assuming the worst case scenario, What will happen to my bitcoin hodlings if I moved them after the UASF that will be executed this coming August?

Hmm best to refer to users like @joseph @kingscrown for bitcoin. Believe it or not, I don't hold them at all.. except for a few in cold storage

Great write up! I read the whole thing. That is cool you made it through the Steem Depression without buckling. I didn't fare as well. It was painful and I'm glad it is over.

I wish the price goes down a little more, but i guess the platform is maturing.. so its getting pretty out of control now. Remember that we used to know just about anything that happens on the platform? I can't say the same now..

I was expecting a photo of you in pyjamas :-P

too much logic in your expectation! lol

Auuuu That's awesome of you!!!, The eyebrow ring though 😌👌🏻 I love SoundCloud !!

U too sue. U too.. where did u buy ur coins by the way?

I Bought my bitcoin at bx.in.th and trade other coins in Bittrex up I'm still so new and it's confusing a bit >~<.

feel free to ask on steemit.chat if anything, i saw your msg btw.

Thank you so much Kevin !! Yes I will :) just got signup on there yay!!!!

It is truly interesting to see all of your stats. It really does show that hard work, good content, great engagement can really lead to large things.

You have a lot of followers! Do you think that many of them read what you write or even see the post? I feel the trend here is to ask for followers recently (I won't being doing that). I think obtaining followers more organically would lead a lot more success!

Hmm no idea at all.. looks like stuff just gets more seen in top trending, and i usually get about views totalling to about 10% of the number of followers i have if the post doesn't appear on trending. I dont think much bout it really.. and i was surprised with the number. I guess, just continue steeming! I used to put a simple and short follow me text at the bottom of my posts.

Hmm, Maybe I'll have to the short follow me text at the bottom of my post and see if that helps at all! Thanks for the info!

Yeah just a minimal one will do like


Follow me @dzboston33

"The world blogger" - I like it :)

You are doing great man, making a lot of STEEM !

Ask you anything??... hmm are you going to the Steem party this year?

hey man. I think so! hopefully everything goes well

from one guy in pyjamas to another guy wearing pyjamas , thanks for sharing these stats. you HODL history and earnings is inspiring! great going :)

All you need is something to lock up ur coins, like Steem power, or cold storage. Then block coinmarketcap and go for a holiday hahah..

Do you create your posts in another html-platform and copy paste the whole code in Steemit or do you write the HTML directly on Steemit while writing? Great work! Following you is a pleasure!

I use https://stackedit.io/ to store all my drafts in markdown then just work on the final piece on Steemit's editor. Thanks for the kind words man :)

Oh thanks for this link! I am only just starting to use HTML, I need to learn a lot! Steemit is helping me a lot with this! :-)

First of all congratulations for you hard work. This is so impressive. The way you have explained all the stats, too good man!!! you really rock. Keep working hard. Good luck.

Thanks for the kind words, its really all thanks to the support given by strangers when i first joined..

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

I always aprreciate it when established members like @kevinwong bring out time to give constructive tips which will help new and old members to do better here...good job . I am more optimistic and thus believe that Steem will reach 20USD by early next year and take over social media segment. Members are growing and working hard. And because members are successful, they will promote more which is then a win win for all

Yes, we're all in the same boat here. That co-ownership thing going on just by owning steem power is quite a game changer :)

good point @kevinwong, glad that we are in the right platform and hopefully we willfollow to write the next story of a soccessful social media platform (number 1)..following you for more good posts, lets stay in touch

Great post @kevinwong !!
110k for just over a year is not bad at all !!
I also feel thrilled about being part of this new economy/revolution

thanks for sharing! its motivating !

It is! Good capital if i've any project that needs funding. Glad you're onboard man. Thanks for the kind words!

@kevinwong..as you mentioned "ask me any thing" I am asking this. never mind.. hahaha
Is there any support kind of stuff we have on Steemit. My $12 SBD put to convert in to STEEM are no longer appearing in my account which was suppose to be converted by now( it's 4th day Today). Any help on this.

No problem, I'll try. How did u convert that 12 SBD by the way?

edit: ok i gather it's the convert function in wallet that take 3.5 days. it's weird.

Yes..right there in Savings..but it's 4th day already.
What could have happened to them..Vaporized...!!!

According to steemd.com

It has only been 3 days (this is rounded up). Perhaps give it another 1-2 days?

Yeah..I am gonna wait.. Patience is virtue.

AI created this account :)

Sometimes i really wonder if everyone's a bot around here :D But yeah Steemfest confirmed the realness.

Ikr :)

Great to see individuals like you on here helping others , generosity goes far

I'm just voting :) keep voting!

great one mate ! keep up the goodwork

Thanks man, appreciate the kind words!

Steem's Great Depression, haha. Those were some valuable peanuts, fellow hodler :)

Should've bought more of the peanuts too ;)

Great stats! Congrats on your achievement...

I wanted to know you more. Can you direct me to your 'introduceyourself' blog? Hehe

It's in one of the links in this post :)

Way to go bro! Kudos!

w00t :) no questions??

Actually I do. I'm looking for new cryptos to invest into so would love to more about some of the projects you are invested in.

Too many.. this part of it buddy..

Lisk
Aragon
BCAP
Mysterium
BTS
TaaS
Hush
Muse
IOTA
MobileGo
Peerplays
Swarm.city
Viva Crowns
Cofound.it

Oh wow! Thank you Kevin! I was actually considering 4-5 from these already!

Kevin, thanks for the AMA!

Such an enjoyable read.

My question to you: How invested are you in Steemit? Do you see any other projects replacing it? What's the future like according to you?

Surprised there's no clear competitor yet. Clearly akasha, synereo etc are not really going to work out. Too lofty, their plans are not even rooted in user behaviour. They should have rapidly prototyped their stuff and test the market. Not sure what they're doing. Can't tell the future, although i hope we'd return to being nomads :)

This is actually really encouraging to me, @kevinwong. I'm also starting with zero social media following because I have always despised social media until I got involved with Steemit over the past couple weeks. Glad to see organic growth works for someone!

yeah i've been very lucky! just keep posting and voting :)

To be honest, it's getting a little too overwhelming for me. Private messages and all. I'm in a couple dozen of channels on Steemit.chat, even on multiple Slack / Telegram groups in other blockchain projects. So I'm sorry if I seem to be lacking in my replies.
ha...ha... I understand about this.... you are popular steemian, but do not worry you have many loyalist followers. Nice ! :)

actually i dont think i'm getting as many as others, but i'm just not used to it...

My question to you: how someone can have 200+ followers who just entered in steemit a week before and how someone can have 20 followers if he's on steemit from 2 months ?? How ??
And both are active here ???

how would i know? i dont control who people follow..

Love this! $25 would be nice. Just about to double up on my Steem power. Followed and upvoted. Go get em...

25 is quite epic, i'd be happy even if like 10 haha..

Appreciate you taking the time to do this.

Blogged yesterday, thought it was pretty good.

I Offered a contest that was fun, and in it I referred to an article from a decent sized steemer and tagged and linked to him, he obviously wasn't appreciative.

I Offered the winner 10 dollars and I would match the 10 dollars if it was donated to the good cause of one of a few members that were going through rough times if it reached a certain level of upvotes.

It got 4 upvotes and less than a dollar.

I want this platform to work, but I'm losing faith in it after last night.

You can see the post here...

https://steemit.com/life/@wetthebeak/let-s-play-a-game-to-find-out-just-how-addicted-to-the-internet-you-are-but-w-out-google

Games aren't that easy, what more if coming from a newer account .Patience.. i guess..

Hey, I can relate to everything you said here except making money, being popular and having lots of votes. Other than that we're basically twins separated at birth. Hello my brother ;)

Hi bro :) there's really plenty of luck involved, i think i just happen to join at the right time last year.

I see in my wallet " currently you are receiving 0% APR "
what is the meaning of this and how it works and how to increase this %?

Oh that's set by the witnesses. I dont think ithey're going increase the APR anytime soon as to limit the inflation rate. But you can consider APR generated from voting / curation activities.

nice idea thank you

WOW Beautiful, keep posting like that :)
I have followed and upvoted, please do the same thing for me to help each other.
Thank you so much :)

I can't keep posting about steemit stuff :p

Haha, nice one :P

What are your secrets of success please share.

be patient .. :)

Very Cool! Do you know anything about Geocentrism??

Can't say i do! But if earth as the center of the universe, then perhaps, although i'd disagree

I bought 1000 reddcoin , do you think its going higher to 1 dollar or no ? I know that noone can predict but I just ask

I know nothing about reddcoin! haha.. you think it's a good coin? too many coins to study :)

well It's so cheap now , you can buy 1000 reddcoins with about 2 dollar

What are your top 3 reasons to get reddcoin? why is it good?

maybe I dont have much reasons , but when I see that with 2 dollar which is equal to buying a cake or something like that , I can buy 1000 coins of it.

It’s not easy to tell. People support cryptocurrency because of hyperinflation in fiat and security issues.

It is better to have inflation, but what is the suitable rate annually? I believe a stable environment, The ideal case should be between 5% and 6% annually in order to let people work.

In future, what kind of crypto can still stand? I personally don’t know which, but reddcoin has a value to stand because it acts as real banking system which only need at most 10W and massive storage space per node instead requiring massive scale of miners.

People believe bitcoin as the development team has answered how to deal with hyperinflation while with high security. In later stage, some teams find wrong on the first model so they introduce different models such as Peercoin, Dogecoin and etc.

Reddcoin becomes more popular when the improved staking model introduced which no one has used before. It depends on your activity, Also only few watts with big storage space to work so it has a value to stay while others, may be only no bounds or group mine with others.
refrence : this comment is from another user called @Nero90 from reddcointalk.org

Very interesting! Thanks for the comprehensive response on this, I'd need to check out what reddcoin's about then!

you are welcome my friend , wish luck for all of us.

Haha! But what if they have 1000000000000000000 coins? I guess that's actually quite an okay reason to buy without knowing much of the coin though..

Do I need to pay for additional 'premium' to follow your (or anyone's) trail on streemian? It doesn't seem to acknowledge the 3 users I added to 'my trail' after I signed up and verified. No rewards are reflected after 3 days...

I don't get what you mean. Premium means you'll get to the front of the trailing vote, so effectively, more curation rewards.

ohhhhhh, gotcha, thank you good sir

Great work @kevinwong! Thank you for sharing! I wish you a good Sunday!

Nice flowers :) have a great day..

Great achievements. Thanks for your honest sharing.

Interesting post
