I had a good writing day today and felt engaged with the platform and the audience. In my opinion, that is a job well done for a day at Steemit. I do feel however that I have been focusing heavily on the Steem side of the equation and neglecting my other content. This is easy for me to do as I see a lot of overlap and relatable material between pieces even though the style and even genre is quite different.
What I really enjoy here is the ability to play with many different toys, even though they may be unfamiliar to begin with. Tonight, I was combining porn, censorship and SMTs and potential benefits of attracting the industry. Smart Media Token knowledge is something I need to spend some time building which is part of the reason I posted it. I think anyone looking long needs to learn a little about it.
I see the platform as a very large learning experience for me and like most of the world, the more you learn, the more you earn. In a class today we were talking about the value of skills and I have the same philosophy here. If a skill is easy to obtain by many people and doesn't degrade much over time, there is not a lot of value in it as a competitive advantage.
And that is something that is increasingly separating individuals from one another, those willing to do a lot of work to learn something that has value but is difficult to get and, those who are not. The gap is widening and the group willing to really work is decreasing. In my opinion, this leads to an inequality of skill that some people will have very little chance to overcome if they let it go too far.
What is too far? I don't know but Steemit offers experience in complexities most people here are very unwilling to get involved with, let alone people that aren't here yet. And, it is learning in an area that is set to increasingly shift the way data, economies and people interact with each other and how incomes are derived from skills and behaviours. There is a lot to learn yet how many people are really getting into it?
It is a long, slow process but for me, my posts aim to move me towards a position of better knowledge, increased skills and improved awareness of the things that influence me and I can influence. What I hope is that we can all learn something together that makes our futures better than our pasts.

I know the main focus on this post wasn't the photographs, but man, those are some great shots. What did you take those with? If you don't mind me asking that is :P

Olympus EM-1 and it is from Lake Como, Italy. (Varenna) It was a lovely day there.

Oh, these are from Italy? I figured they were just from some cool area of Finland, haha. Acid's pictures that he has shared of the country make it look like a really pretty place. Either way, gorgeous shots of a gorgeous place. Not that surprising I guess when from the reviews that camera looks to be pretty high end :P
Again, sorry that this kinda detracts from the point of your post. I just love yapping about photography sometimes, lol.

Finland is lovely too but not many mountains.
I do too although I am not overly technical. The camera is a decent camera considering it is a small mirrorless. The lens I usually use, these shots included, is a 12-40 2.8 Pro. A nice lens for size and portability. I changed from Canon to mirrorless for weight while travelling. I had a 40D and with lenses it was my entire carry-on allowance. Now, it is much easier :)

Lovely photos. Your town is beautiful.
Sometimes I get overwhelmed with the amount of information and knowledge that I find each day. I am trying to sift through and go after the knowledge and skill that can add more value to my present skill. From there, I will move to other areas.
I think this is the best way to go about it, so as not to get overwhelmed in the bid to try everything.
Peace.

I really cant believe the cryptosphere isn't just filled with porn already. i think putting porn on steemit would really drive up the quality. I mean hear me out here. you get on redtube or youporn or any other variation and it is filled with low quality trash that someone filmed with their phone in a trailer park. Now you go witht eh steemit rules of only having 7 days to get payed on it and they are going to put some damn effort into it.

I think that the motivated will continue to strive for greatness as long as it’s shown that it’s attainable. Every individual will settle for their own level of success, and as for myself, I won’t settle until I can move things with my own vote. I’d like to say now, while I’m at it, thank you! Thank you for remaining as a brilliant example of diligence. I remember beginning 6 months ago thinking that if I could post like you did, I’d reach a nice spot. Here we are, 6 months later, you sharing powerful insights, and me still trying to emulate your efforts.
