I love this story brother. We are looking to bring Steemit to the entire Los Angeles area as well! People here need it too. Behind the glitz and the glam is a city that is hurting to be heard. I am going to resteem your story and I have followed you as well. If you know people in the LA region, we are doing the first ever LA Steemit Meetup this Saturday. It's on my Blog if you would like to share. Thank you again for your dedication and congrats on being a Dolphin!

Big congrats !🎊🎈🎉 🍾I can just say that you deserve dolphin status - you are the hardest working person I have seen on Steemit and you have kept grinding through the ups and downs -
Never giving up ! I think it's fair to say that you have been eating sleeping and breathing Steem ! The good thing about that is that it has paid off big - congrats !

Congrats my friend.
I love reading stories like this.
STEEM is already changing the world, one life at a time.
There are so many instances where people were struggling financially only to find STEEM and turn it around. I read about people paying the electric bill, feeding infants formula, and eliminating debt all from proceeds made on here.
Lets see Facebook do that.
You are proof of what can happen with hard work and effort. Too many complain that "I cant make it...the system is unfair...it needs to be changed" garbage. You can do it if you put in the time.
You did and now you are a dolphin.

I am always a huge admirer of those who work really passionately in any field of life. Well you gave me motivation through your story for which i am very happy that you are a Dolphin now Congrats!

Ha! I assumed you were a dolphin or a whale already - with how much love and effort you put into steemit on a daily basis! Congratulations!
You have much more heart in this than many whales that simply were here early on and invested or got those legendary early day rewards.
Side note - I saw your post a while ago about steemit pacman - I was kind of in the mood to play a game today, but pacman isnt really my style - do you know of any other games on the steemit blockchain? Waiting for steempunk...

Love it man, great work to start paying those bills just by being an active Steemian, because honestly, I am trying to do the same. Granted my content consists mainly of aerial photography and short blips or videos of the places I go, not very indepth thought-out dialougues with viewers that garner hundreds of SBD a video. Naw, I am in the business of impressing the peoples eyes by letting them view the world as a bird does.
My utimate goal is so similar to what your initial goal with Steemit was, to pay off bills. I have thousands of fiat debt to the student loan cartel for the education I could have learned online, so I am trying to rid myself of those chains and begin traveling to document the world from above for all of Steem to see!!
Steem on, Brah!

Congrats! Maybe you will now be able to attend the next Canadian Memory Championships and sleep over in a 5 stars hotel!
You are certainly not the only person enjoying a great success right now. I have just made a post a few days ago and it's now worth over $30, twice as much as my next biggest pay of last year.

I would never sleep in a 5-star hotel. Also I am not really feeling well towards the memory world at all. My idea for a memory cryptocurrency might be my last involvement in that area for the rest of my life!
Awesome that your last post made a nice sum. Continue the grind and you will see that more often.

I kind of knew that making lots of money would not change your habits. I was teasing you. You've been poor for too long. Your not going to use your cash to say " Look! I have arrived!" You're probably going to have to think about what you'll do with it. But your feelings for the memory community may influence me. Steemit may be a better use of my time...
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Ho, and by the way, I think you had a great proposal for the memory community with that crypto currency idea. I have a website, the CanadianMemoryChampionships.ca and maybe I should have contacted you about it, although I did feel a bit intimidated about it, as even a simple website still intimidates me a bit. I think people in general need to understand cryptocurrency before they are going to understand how it can help them. New understanding are difficult for most. Maybe a good future for Steemit is the way to get people to pay attention so they can try and understand the concept.

Also, if I get to see that nice sum more often, I may quit my job as a courier: it went up to $50 today...

Glückwunsch Flauwy!
Sehr sehr cool! Kann mir gut vorstellen wie du dich fühlst. Auch wenn Cryptowährungen nicht gerade stabil sind, gibt es doch einiges an Sicherheit in STEEM(IT) investiert zu haben.
Bin ja auch bald bei meinen 5000 STEEM aber ich warte noch ein bisschen, bis sich die Ratio hoffentlich etwas gebessert hat. Mal schauen.
Keep Steemin' :)

I'm glad Steem is working out for you, and thank you for all the upvotes and good advice you sent my way! :) I found you early on and followed many of your tips and I'm really surprised how quickly nothing changes into serious pocket money. I do not write or create a new post every day; I can't, so I try to make 1 or 2 posts a week and spend the rest of my time watching El Alemán de Costa Rica do his thing, and a few others of course.

@flauwy - Thank you. When I signed on to this platform Steem was kissing the $0.14 HIGH, with the potential to drop down to $0.08. Honestly, I didnt see the value and potential so sadly after a few days and headaches later, I forgot about it. Until a week ago. I'm grateful a friend asked if I had heard about Steemit and Dtube, and even more grateful I remembered to save my password. How I managed to remember my username is a miracle ! but the real miracle is that I've been exposed to people like you who have been positively affected by this platform.
