Random Thoughts and Thoughlessness

in random •  7 years ago 

I made a twitter account a couple of months ago.  I tweet often.  I rarely get hearts or retweets.  There is not any money there and I am still expected to earn or advertise for my own following.  


  • How that relates to SteemIt... In the future I predict not everyone is going to earn here.  As we get more people and more applications running on the steem blockchain, it will be harder and harder to earn.  If the price goes up we will see some increases, but mostly earning Steem is going to get harder and harder.  The good news is....  That makes Steem more valuable.  I picture a time when people are working extremely hard to earn that coveted Steem.

    Many people have been noticing that rewards seem lower, of course they are, we have more people, more posts, more applications competing for Steem.  Followers are harder to find.  You have to keep raising your game to keep people's attention.  Remember if users support new users, that support is going to come from somewhere.


Plural:  If one Steem = 1 steem...  Are 2 steem or steems?

  • Can we please filter out Zappl posts on SteemIt?  I am excited about the project, but not about it falling on my feed.  I made a new account for Zappl.


  • I am enjoying how well the site is running and I like the new interface


  • It is a bummer that SteemFest and the Bitcoin Hardfork hype are happening at the same time.  


  • If you can't manage the money you have now, you are not ready to be rich, no matter how much money you get, you will make it disappear


This post was a collection of random thoughts I've had recently, and not been able to make a full post out of any of the ideas.

The good news is.... That makes Steem more valuable.

Accruing Steem Power now makes sense for a lot of reasons.

If you can't manage the money you have now, you are not ready to be rich, no matter how much money you get, you will make it disappear

This is so true. A classic example of this is the many cases of people who've won the lottery, only to have it ruin their lives.

@whatsup,
You are absolutely correct! More apps, limited reward pool will make less rewards for the contents! But as you said bright side of this is, we can see rise of the STEEM price! Few days ago a friend of mine did a small analysis of STEEM and he has found compare to BTC market supply, STEEM price should be at 465 USD level! So this coin is high de-valuated! Just imagine SMT will power up STEEM and what will happen next!

Cheers~

When you can earn something easily, it isn't valuable. When it takes time, effort and skill. That gives it value.

@whatsup,
Yeah, easy is cheap! That's what I believe too!

Cheers~

we should be thankful enough that we are the first one to be on this platform and we should we wise enough to use this opportunity

it will be interesting to see how people reaction will turn out when reward will be very less

Wait, is there another Bitcoin hardfork coming? Which one is it this time...?

Ty, I heard Segwit2 drop somewhere before but didn't realize it was another hardfork.

I also thought about it, the more people the harder it is to earn. But if you are trying to produce good interesting posts, then you will be one step ahead.

Tweeting never held any appeal for me, but I do like zappl. I agree that the zaps should be filtered out. Like you, I have a separate account for zapping and that keeps the feed somewhat cleaner.

i agree with your thoughts, SMT should be the real game changer and gives steem more strenght, upvoted and resteemed too.

If we are talented and skillful, then if we can introduce and upload valuable blogs, attracted others you can earn easily. But i know real trouble has in steem blockchain platform.Lot of users adding daily. But however we need to protect steem blockchain. Its our responsibility.

I respect all your thoughts..thanks for sharing it with us

agreed with you about the future of Steemit. It will surly get harder to earn from it in future as more and more users and platforms will be there in steem blockchain. Nevertheless the demand for Steem will go up in future.
Cheers!

Oh!! I appreciate your thought if its randomly became. Yeah i agree with you, in this condition we cant earn little bit money on steem blockchain because new accounts making daily lot. See daily steem reports for refer. Lot of steemians will going and follow up more rewards. But will not receive enough money.
Also I haven`t zappl account. But i see zappl options from my friends account. Interface and other options is very better. But my opinion, steemit is very better.

time to up the game !!

Also, I notice a lot of hoarders of SP/steem that rarely contribute/curate.... money always screws things up

Steem Hoarders are what I call holders or investors. What would happen if we they didn't want to participate and so they had to power down? Crash.

I mean hoarding and not participating... which means less curation for content creators. If they aren’t actively using their SP daily then we are left with a bunch of minnows fighting for scraps and swimming in circles. I have seen so many get discouraged by this.

Except that isn't how it works. The reward pool is distributed by active users. The entire reward pool is distributed regardless of who votes.

Not sure how that works... I will press the “I believe button” on this one. Thanks

I think more users will attract more investors, and so because of this, i think the future will be bright for every steemian who works.

Nice thought's appreciate that you shared with us well looks to me time is going to be testing all of us :)

steem is a valuable gold right now no one know its price
