The Old Dog Reports: Share Your Success And We'll Succeed Together! Giveaway Reaches 294 SBD And 100 Steem!

YOU Have Helped Make Steemit A Fun, Kind And Generous Platform!


Friends, this is an amazingly loving, worldwide community!  

In order for Steemit to continue succeeding it's important that we do it together! After the last hard-fork it took a while for the rewards pool to fill up and there was a fair bit of negativity. Many Steemers just kept blogging away and now the platform is again robust, positive and lucrative!

As a result of Steemit's resilience and stability I was able to give away 48 SBD this month. Not my best month so far but things are on the upswing and gaining a lot of Steem! Here's my report for april:

Thank you very very much :)

I think after the last hard fork even more the Steemit has a great future. We have a wonderful community here, with many gifted people from all over the world. I think we will achieve a lot together.... Steem on**

You are also a big part of our success @homeartpictures!

many thanks my friend!

I am very impressed with the good performance of Steem, what impress me even more is the performance of SBD, that just refuse to go down, against all efforts to get it closer to $1.00. I am extremely positive about Steemit. Like you say success will come when we all stand together in our efforts to promote Steemit and make it a better place for all.

So great to see you steadily sharing, interacting and enjoying the platform!

I really love it.

Me too! :)

On Steemit many talented people. It's cool! I see them becoming more and more. Thank you for Your work. You help people feel better. Thank you for supporting my comments. With her, I began to feel more confident here. Thank you kind and fair dog.

It's a great community and a lot of fun!

"Are you excited to know that Steemit is open source and developers can now monetize their applications?" Perhaps the most under rated benefit of the last hardfork. We're going to see some really cool stuff, I am sure of it

You're right about that one. The future developments will be interesting and exciting to follow!

It's dible the way it has bounced back. I hope that people can have a little more faith in the platform instead of crying doooom as soon as something changes

And top marks to you @kus-knee, you are the most generous old dog there is!!

Hey man you are a HUGE part of our succeeding together!

Aw shucks! Yeah, we all gotta work this thing and make it good for everybody!

You are one of the best Old Dogs I have ever known)))

Thanks so much and keep sharing your artistic journey!

))))))))))))))))) thank you))

Rewards, curves, forks 'n knives, SBD pegs, etc., make little sense to me.

The community around here, that's something I get, and can believe in...

You're so right about that!

It's thanks to you and many others. Truly a fascinating place!

Your Filthy Jeans post inspired an article for me too!

:)

I love what you bring here too @inphiknit! I think that you are quite brilliant! I must have missed your inspired post so I'll check it out right now!

A very generous compliment. I'm not so good at receiving them, so I'll just say thanks and go away feeling warm!

Wow! It's great to see you keep up with this. I've sure benefited from your kind gesture.

Yes, Steemit has a future and it looks bright.

Well done.

Thanks so much @fisteganos, it's so great to see you doing well here and over at Viva!

Why don't you change your name to good dog? :) Nice work!! @kus-knee

Yes sometimes I wish I had a different nick name. That one came about because of my first 3 articles on Steemit and it stuck. :)

WOW! AMAZING POST! upvoted and resteemed!

Much appreciated!

I'm very pleased))) Thank you very much))

You are so welcome!

Steem on.!!
Good job.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much @tinachung! It's so encouraging to see you so active here!

Welcome ^_^
@kus-knee can i ask, why my post is always downvote same adm and pfunk, how do i fix it.
Thanks

Hi @tinachung,

I'm not sure but I just went to look at your post of the sunset and it seems that someone thinks that the photo is not yours.

I've tried to fix and show that it's true that my post I post, and I've tried to find help in steemitchat. But there has been no response from certain parties. Thanks friends have helped..
@kus-knee

Wow, I was totally unaware that you did this and it's a very creative way to give back and share the wealth. I had more of an issue with "the experiment" than the low reward pool. Flagging as a reward reduction on $2 posts seemed insulting, but ultimately like you said I just decided to keep on steeming. We are all in this together and we can all help keep steem positive.

Thanks old dog :)

I'm so glad that you broke through the difficulties and have kept plugging away. I still get the feeling that we are still at the beginning of an amazing ride!

Thanks for helping the community like this. I remain optimistic about Steemit. We've been through tough times, but Steem is rising (along with other coins) and the community is growing (slowly). I hope to see some major updates (communities please!) that will help to bring in more people. I want others to share the benefits of this amazing platform.

You've been rock solid through all the ups and downs!

I'm just a stubborn old dog :)

True! I also have the tendency to be ver tenacious. Nothing comes easy to me but I keep plugging away.

How's the running going?

The running is okay. Just trying to keep it going. I hope to have more time for exercise soon.

I'll admit that I had some negative feelings back in early March. I got really busy working on the house because spring arrived early, and I rarely checked in on Steemit. But now that I've been back I am excited to see the rewards pool back up and optimism high again.

It's great to have you back and feeling positive. You bring a lot of talent to the platform!

I appreciate that compliment! With longer hours of daylight and my multiple projects going on the house, I won't be quite as active as I was over the winter, but I will be here when I can.

Very understandable!

You are doing a useful and good deed. Thanks to such purposeful people as you and others like you, I do not even doubt that Steemet will develop. Thank you!

You are most welcome and it's beautiful to have you in out international community!

great work

Thanks a lot!

Having grown my reputation on steemit "organically" -meaning I was given 5 SBD to start and have not purchased steem via any crypto exchange I will answer your questions.

Have you been impressed with the way that Steem has bounced back? I have been a Steemian through two hardforks and I have to say I made more on my posts before the second hardfork. I sometimes could make anywhere between 5 and 25 SBD...now I barely make 1 SBD.

Are you positive about Steemit's future?

Seeing as it is ridiculous to think negatively about anything..I will try to focus on the positives... including the future of Steemit.

Are you excited to know that Steemit is open source and developers can now monetize their applications?

Not a developer so good for them... but I have zero excitement over this.

Do you believe that we need to succeed together?

The answer to this question depends of the definition of "we" & "success". If you mean "we" Steemians.... this whole platform is based on group participation but is up to the individual to post good content. I believe even before I started using this platform that the "whales" will succeed off the togetherness of the plankton, minnows, and dolphins.

Great comments @mithrilweed! The open source excites me because developers have the incentive to build on top of the Steem graphene blockchain!

Keep on Steeming my friend!

That's all I can do as a lowly minnow...just post. Followed.

Have you been impressed with the way that Steem has bounced back?
Yes, I impressed

Are you positive about Steemit's future?
As long as many good people stay on steemit, yes positive future wil come on steemit

Are you excited to know that Steemit is open source and developers can now monetize their applications?
Yes, that is the main purpose, give other people chance to use open source and let them use in good way

Do you believe that we need to succeed together?
Good people stay together, that will give positive aura and bring luck to them

You're awesome and you live up to your name @happyphoenix!

Congratulations for what you do for the community dear friend, very good initiative, thank you very much for the action and the prize

Thanks so much for having a look!

Awesome and generous initiative! Cheers @kus-knee!

Thanks so much. It's a lot of fun!

1 - Yes, I am! I think that this community have a lot of potential.
2 - Also yes. The open-source politics improve the trust in the blockchain and I think is fair that someone could monetize what she or he created.
3 - Of course I do! Otherwise, what would be the point in being here, right?

Thanks for your visit, your support and your comment!

I feel very positive about the future of Steemit... and working a lot on bringing in new contributors, these days.

But first, a big thank you for your positivity and generosity here on Steemit; I'm always excited to discover when I have been "thrown a bone," and it's initiatives like your that make Steemit the kind of true community that's mostly missing from social media.

I'm very happy with the way Steemit/Steem has bounced back... I know we "lost" a few significant contributors who got frustrated and stopped posting-- I wish they would come back, but so it goes... but I do think this is definitely a "community effort" where we all can help each other succeed.

I'm looking forward to communities being formed although I'm not sure we'll I'll fit in there!

Yes it is too bad that some got frustrated and left especially since things have bounced back quite well.

I hope the "Communities" plans are well thought out. It should help categorize and sort the site content a little better... I just hope the result isn't fragmentation. Another site I write on recently split itself into 20+ "subsites" and whereas the content is well-organized from a reader perspective, it also destroyed any cohesive sense of community the site had...

I've been away most of April, but it looks like you and all those commenters have been busy! I'm looking forward to the future of Steemit, especially when it gets communities. Then I think it will really take off. Thanks for your generosity on Steemit!

Good to have you back. Yes, the future looks very intersting here!

You are such a great guy!

Questions and answers:
Have been impressed with the way that Steem has bounced back? No, i did not expect anything else :-)
Are you positive about Steemit's future? Without a doubt
Are you excited to know that Steemit is open source and developers can now monetize their applications? not excited personally as i am tech virgin dumb old guy but for the community and dev awesomeness!
Do you believe that we need to succeed together? Only as a team we win
