Throwback to my old powerup diary

in steem •  6 years ago  (edited)

Here I was as a minnow on the platform counting my posts and comments and seeing how fast I was able to gain SP. Feels like a lifetime ago but it has only been a bit over 2 years, time travels fast in the crypto world or at least it feels that way.

I don't really have too much to share about this, so much still happening, so much has happened. I'm looking forward to the future and hoping things will be okay and that we can make the world a much better place with Steem.

Just felt like sharing this. How many Steemians from back in the day are still around? :)

Thanks for sharing @acidyo. Very interesting. Curious, did you invest money to get your stake or did you do it by Posting and Curation ??

I invested the most this year. :/

Nice! I guess I no longer feel like the only one recording my stats on a spreadsheet to compare! I guess it worked for you so I continue to look forward to my journey and looking back in the future to see how far I have come!

We all start out at the same place. And we end up in different spots.
You did good and good for the platform. Hard work makes all the difference between the two

Keep on steeming! Im in the same boat looking for ways to incease my SP! This is a historic time, buy more steem while its cheap!!

I came here in June 2017 and still here and not planning to go anywhere, but stay here for the long haul and remain powered up. 😄

I will be here for all time :) Because I see more and more dapps keeping me engaged and earning, even though I am not a great content creator.

Yeah I joined in June 2017.... hope to be here forever. Powering up.

This is so awesome. I wished I was here 2 years ago. My Steem Power would have been much higher. But better late than never I guess.

Also, @acidyo, you don't know me but right when I started out on the platform and posted without making any money and was actually thinking that I should just give up I received a 1$ upvote from you. That's when I realised that I could actually make money here. In a way, your upvote was one of the biggest reasons for me still being here and grinding that Steem Power.

So, I will be forever grateful for that, dude. :)

Cheers. :)

You need a bigger pad now, something with room for larger numbers. :)

I was around in 2016, August, but I wasn't posting then. So I guess I wasn't here to see this all happen. :)

I spent a little the same months ago, I think in fact I still review my comments when I feel that I am somewhat absent from the community

aaaw that so cute. I'm a minnow now. Actually today it's my 300 moon on steemit . YAY

I’m only from June 2017 so I’m not that old yet. I do happen to tell people about the “good old days” of insane amount of engagement and spammer we use to have.

My story was I was helping this one new person out by answering a few questions him and what I think where some friends of his. Then suddenly he was just dropping around 1$ upvotes on my comments. Turned out he had recently transferred in and powered up a fair amount. All those people are inactive or gone now a days. Was an interesting time that was for sure.

Lol, there are still some of us around!!

you are like me, I keep written records like this too, although my daily power ups look nothing like this :)

yeah, oldschool, pen and paper ^^

Sometimes we gotta look back at where we started :) hell I'm already past my 1yr mark :) haven't been as active as id like to be but life got the best of me with new jobs changing and getting into a car accident but I love this platform! Keep on growing!

"That which can be measured can be managed" still holds true :-)

A little less, a year from now! But ill stop working, and now im back!

(?)

That book looks old school finances =P

You can use Steepshot when the center of the post is a picture

Or at least is what i do n_n

Steepshot hasn't been letting me post lately. :(

True, ill forgot! Since they add video features the app start crashing T_T

Use the web site its alpha. Some times ill request desktop version on the mobile (the tree dots on movil chrome)

Steepshot A lot faster than another app
from the app. You can try it. I use
steepshot. So said.@ acidyo sir

it doesnt work for me anymore. :( it used to but not anymore.

crashes every time I select a photo to upload. -_-

Same here lately. :/

Bummer. You running Android 9 too? Cause it seems like it worked fine up until I upgraded to the Android 9 beta testing. I have a Google Pixel 2 XL too. But, my guess is A9 compatibility issues.

I'm still here, somehow. My 2 year mark isn't too far off now, got another 2 months and I'll officially be an old man in comparison to all these new whore ass whippersnappers.

Maybe in this second year, I have to start making calculations and targets that I want to achieve in Steem.

This November is exactly one year of my existence on the Steem blockchain, and I did not make what you made, I will re-organize my activities in this second year.

Oh yeah, still going. It's been a fun ride. Looking forward to the next loop-de-loop. Not yet 2 years for me, but a lot has changed.

I am from December 2016, so many interesting things happened during this period, I am still here and will continue this way

@acidyo, I came to Steem blockchain last September in 2017. But since this period I never updated like you. Sometimes I power up. Especially within last month I did it better. And I staying here for long term goal. I never find short term target or benefits. I am be patience with current downtrend.

You are doing amazing, I get inspiration from you on being consistant on steemit network :)

All 4 flights during steemfest we got recurrently the same lunch with the words "power up" I know it is coincidence but it stayed in my head

I joined when steem was at its peak and since it has gone down, never cashed out, just keep going. This is an endurance test

Indeed, when we are having fun time flies by.

I´m not here for 2 years ago, but I´m almost reaching my first year and I've enjoyed every moment (even the worst ones) :D

Your post inspired me..

I posted citing your post, instead of posting a huge comment here.
Thanks for making me think a little today @acidyo!

Steem On!!!!

Funny, I never thought about keeping up with any of it in any separate form.

Hi acid. Good to see you also had a plan. I wander how many have a plan today and just wing it. My plan is simple to work double as hard as everyone else so I can catch all the users that started ahead of me. Some things have changed like the price of Steem and the number of users etc. I think it is still doable and it just takes discipline and commitment.

If you can get to have power like you and achieve a lot of SP it is good that you pass the formula, I thought that your power had been because you invested a lot of money from the beginning.

So far you have done a great job
