So last night I finally crossed the imaginary line. I'm officially a Dolphin of Steem. To be honest with you I thought I would be able to fly or move objects with my mind, but none of that is happening. I guess it must be the flags, the flags of the trending page... Yes, I'm sure that's it.

I know things are a little rough at the moment, most of the users of Steem are considering dumping their coins, getting out of the game, as they say. But, I've decided I'm staying put. To me what cryptocurrencies have started is nothing that can be stopped, and I won't be missing out on the big picture just because I'm feeling a little scared at the moment.
If we don't risk, we can't possibly expect to gain. It really comes down to that, and possibly nothing more. I know that to some Steem is doomed, there are so many issues with the cryptocurrency that it cannot possibly make it. They could be right, they could be 100% accurate, but of course the future remains to be seen.
However, my point, my drive, is not specific to Steem. It's more connected to the shift in the tides sort of speak. There is no way to go back, and do so remaining emotionally sound. The things I've learned, the things I now know are just around the block, won't allow for "my life" to continue as it normally has for almost 40 years now.
So here I'am standing in defiance of the system that I now know to exist. Cryptos are not going anywhere and right now I'm going to work my hardest to collect as much as I can.
Much love

Congratulations @meno! New to following you, but this seems well earned, from what I am learning about our Steem Community.
Not sure how long you've been involved overall, but starting into the "crypto universe" last August was an uncharacteristic step for me. "Out of character" for the most part. We'll find out together what the future holds and whether the "promise" of Satoshi's vision in 2009 is ever fully realized ...
P.S. Someday, I'll have to learn what these levels are and how it is determined which one applies to you. As far as I know, I am a "minnow" ... 😧 Not really ... I'm fine ... 😊

Damn flags. Nobody should ever be flagging a dolphin. We need them to fly.

Congratulations on dolphin @meno!
I agree about Steem and Steemit. Also, the value of this platform for me is not just about the currency. It's about pushing myself creatively, and making what I feel to be valuable connections with other creatives. About the community, in other words.
But, just out of curiosity, what are the doomsayers saying about Steem? I thought it was a relatively strong crypto...
Either way I'm going to continue to post and interact. Just too many cool people, fun contests, and inspiring initiatives here.

I revived the creative side of me because of the community of #openmic so of course I relate with you.

Yes, #openmic has been amazing! And for me also #freewrite, which not only provides an outlet (and interesting prompts) for spontaneous poetry, but also inspired me to begin writing fiction for the first time.
Speaking of Open Mic, any chance you guys are gonna run another songwriting challenge anytime soon?

Congratulations!! Yes, you are right - Steemit isn't just about crypto. It changes so many lives - the community brings out the best in so many people to get creative or write about personal stuff. I personally learned also a lot of things since I'm here. Keep on steeming! :)

Hmm, we only let Aussies or people living in Aus in (although a few non-Aussies, mostly Canadians, were grandfathered in from the old steemit days). So it's not looking great at the moment I'm afraid. Sorry mate. But I'd be amused to hear your Aussie accent. You never know, that could work.

Congrats man! I recently realized that I was wrong calling myself a minnow. lol I guess I'm a plankton or redfish or something out there in the ocean at the bottom of the food chain.

i think its quite confusing... steemitboard shows you first a little dead fish, then a red fish then a fat goldfish... those are not even part of the white paper.
ahhahah so no worries, everyone was confused at first.

Congratulations, dearest @MenO! <3 Definitely a celebration-worthy occasion. :)
I think you've got the right attitude, regardless what happens with Steemit. If you continue investing of yourself in meaningful ways, you're certain to earn dividends.
I'll be swimmin' right alongside you, undeterred by changing currents – focused on the unknowable future – enjoying the journey and those whom I share it with.
Grateful for your friendship.
