Win or bust...

in steem •  5 years ago 


With all the news that Alt-coins will recover in the coming months ive been thinking about what i want to get out of STEEM.

All of us are here are on the same journey of expectation with Crypto. Will crypto change the world, will STEEM change my world?
All of us invested in one way or another. Some have invested thousands of hours into STEEM, some have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into STEEM.
When you put all that together you have a very solid base for this community.

A person that has been here for a year.... do you really think hes going to up and quit? How about the investor that locked up his STEEM for as long?
Everything about this platform screams "LONGTERM."

It draws you in and the longer you stay the stronger it hooks you. Id even call that a sort of addiction.
It has a lot in common with the addictive MMORPGS out there like "World Of Warcraft".
Just one more boss, i need that trinket, i need only 500 more gold...
Similar thing here:
Just one more comment, just one more token, hows my curation doing today, is my VP full, hmm, ill vote 1 more time today.

People keep coming back. Thats the strength of Steem.

Ive held a number of tokens over time and none of them really had any appeal to me outside looking at the "green" and the "red".
For all the times this cheapest of phrases has been spoken, i still have to say it: STEEM is more then "just a token".

Im not saying its perfect or anything but when i look at the complete trash out there like Trx, Verge, ETC, BTG and observe their communities and their interactions i cant not think what a waste of money and time those tokens are.

  1. TRX is down, when will TRX be up. Do something Justin! Give out cute puppies to some kids!
    OMG TRON now has 642 gambling shit dapps and EOS only has 639 gambling shit dapps. BULLISH on Trx, amarite!?!?!

  2. ETC is better then ETH because ETC loves immutability and ETH doesnt. Vitalik can suck it!

  3. Dont call us Virgins! We are Vergians! Oh, and Verge is private! Yes it is, yes it is, yes it is....lalalalalalalalala

  4. Dont have an ASIC and you want to mine some junk on your PC? BTG is for you!

Anyways, thats basically how i see those communities. lol. (yes i am mean)
Obsessed with their own stupidity, standing in some corner of discord somewhere, patting each other on the back and waiting, waiting...

Steem creates value day after day which makes it stand out against any other token. It builds communities and long lasting commitments.

So what do i expect from STEEM in the end? Not much.

I expect that in the place where it said 8500 it will say 8501 and 8502 after that. ;)

Lol. Ill see ya.

if steem closed today, might have to go rekindle that flame with the discreet vergins in discord lol

Very true, I've been here since 2016. Quitting was never an option for me, in fact as time goes on I'm even more hooked. Stake, reputation, friendships, one of the best blockchains out there, fun apps.. I expect it will all add up in the end.

I think it will. The next bull run, if it happens, could bring in a lot more people that will stick around.

Ja samo tribam pogledat oko sebe i ljude po Splitu. Da Steem skoci opet na 7-8 dolara, da ljudi cuju za steem, nahrlili bi odma posebno zbog naseg standarda ode.
Nebi se vise piskaralo po fejsu.

Definitivno, ekipa je utekla kad je cijena drasticno pala, vec kad je bilo oko dolara samo cvrčci poput nas ostanoše. Ako se ikad vratimo na one visine di smo bili mnogi ce se vratit to je sigurno, fejsaši, mame, tate, airsofteri, ribari, reperi, ma svi.

Meni fejs otkad je Steem izaša nema ama baš nikakvog smisla. Šta ja znam jedino vidim messenger, koji event šta ima i to je to npr. one mandarine neki dan, to je bilo za dobro nasmijat se.

Haha. Mandarine. Sve novine o tome ko da sise u zivotu vidili nisu.

Sjecam se da nas je bilo dosta jedno vrime. Onaj Cro discord. Al vecina se pokupila.
Cak i velimir ne posta vise. Znam da je on jedno vrime diza po 100 tisuca kuna mjesecno.
Sve ovisi koliko virujes u steem. Ako mislis da ce opet narast onda nema smisla sad se ne trudit jer steem sta zaradis danas vrijedit ce sutra.

Nije lako to poslozit sebi u glavi kad nismo naviknuli na tolike promjene u vrijednosti necega.

Posted using Partiko Android

Te promjene u cijeni su najgore, ovo tržište je toliko mlado, ne zna se di je prava vrijednost i zato cijena oscilira toliko. Zajebano je jebiga, zamisli placu jedan misec 10k kuna, iduci misec 100kn, to je kripto. Nije za svakoga, al mi šta smo naucili plivati u tim vodama, mi možemo to podnit. Šta se mene tice I ako cijena padne na 5 centi sve ok, kupit cu još Steema pa cemo vidit šta dalje :)

Velimir cijedimir, cini se da je i on skužija da novi steem nece više podnosit ta sranja i pokupija se ca. Obraza imat za onu kolicinu šitpostova šta je radija dnevno dva puta i kolike pare je ubira.... Neviđeno nešto.

They may be stupid but they are holding there prices on the flip side steem is a strong community hense the price go figure.
Will the price ever rise? as soon as it goes up even slightly the larger accounts will dump, as they are making crazy amounts for nothing.
Will the price ever hit $1?
Zero chance.
The concept behind the platform is great but this is the result of 'decentralization'. You leave the 'people' decide and this is what you get

0 chance? Id sooner say theres a 100% chance of 1$ happening. lol

You leave the 'people' decide and this is what you get.

Who do you think should be deciding then?

Who should cant answer that coz its complicated.
Look at what's going on around the world. Forget bullshit media and think about which countries are doing well with so called 'dictators' China smashing it Russia most millionaire/most expensive real estate. Venezuela oil rich.
Flip side democracy Uk on its ass can't decide which leg goes in which trouser leg. America running on debt. So goes to show one man in charge making the decisions seems to be working lol
Ps obviously I'm hoping to hit a dollar but honestly can't see it

Haha. Actually, the dictator argument isnt a new one.
Contrary to popular belief many people are more then happy to give up their freedoms to "daddy" just so they dont need to think for themselves.

I call those people idiots.
Russia was always going to do well. China as well.
Them succeding has nothing to do with the dictatorships/partial dictatorships in place.
Why take global super powers when youre brining that up? Why not take Uganda, Sudan, North Korea, Ethiopia as an example?

African countries are all war torn. You can have democracy won't make a bit of difference. As they have influence from outside for there natural resources. N Korea is 'brutal' have you ever met a n.korean not me so we have to take the word of the good old media.
OK libiya iran both run by dictators now they have democracy, ask them which they prefer that's if you can find anyone alive.

We had a vote here 3 years ago and aint shit happened lol. We have to parties in UK and same in u.s you pick either one and they do the same shit. Provoke a war to make money.
They are both the same parties giving people the illusion they have made a choice. Why don't we have a black/Asian you man/women you just have the same people all educated in 2 universities interlinked probably inbred
