With newsteem upon us lets do something I haven’t done in a while.... a steemit post

in steem •  5 years ago  (edited)

My journey on steemit started back in July 2016, i had been in bitcoin for a few months and was learning about other cryptos. This was right after ethereum had their Hardfork after the DOA debacle... I FOMO’ed into steem, putting in around 1.8 bitcoins in at the all time high in satoshis... i think I got like 400 steem.... for 1.8 bitcoin... imagine that... well at the time steem inflation was 100% the initial supply so pretty much my 400 steem turned into 750ish before steem changed their inflation model....

I got distracted by life and other coins like monero then dash before 2017 came upon us.... I can’t believe I did not stock up on steem around $0.08 march 2017... but a year later steem was sitting over $3 per steem...

Imagine earning a higher income than people working minimum wage....

I saw this potential and decided that one of my financial goals would be to get thousands and thousands of steem power so that one day it’ll net me some pretty good residual income and hopefully I gain a following and this and that...

Instead the steem price plummeted and with it so did my motivation to post...

I eventually just used steemit to post pictures of my meals so I can keep track of what I’m eating as i lose weight and also earn a little something along the way..

Now with #newsteem i am getting attacked (rightfully so) for my oldsteem self vote lazy behaviour.

So recently I decided to do a change

-I am now going to exercise every single day
-I lost my job so I will either find a way to work for myself or find a position I am passionate about that pays a lot

  • I will post real posts on steemit and engage like never before

my biggest problem, my kryptonite, is consistency ... I do AMAZING for a few days then 📉📉📉

Everyday I am finding new ways to motivate myself, steem price going up would be a nice confidence boaster 😍

#theycallmedan I am tagging you as a witness in case I get downvoted by these bots that are now set on auto downvote once any of my rewards get to 12 hours left to payout... a witness to see this is not some random one word post meant for self voting.... I won’t even vote for this post, I am looking to curate only with my votes

Have you looked at using auto-voting tools? Your curation rewards are harder to take away and you have enough SP to do a lot of good. If you are really out to be a better Steemian then I would hope the anti-abuse people will stop downvoting you. It may be worth engaging with them in comments or Discord. Making friends here can be beneficial and even earn you more than self-votes.

I have the same problem with consistency. I tend to get very enthusiastic about something and I'll do very well for a while, then my interest switches to something else and I start to neglect the other thing I was doing before. I call it a lack of stick-to-it-iveness. :-D

I hope you continue to put out decent posts and wish you good luck with sorting out your problems with Steemcleaners and their downvote bots.

Why would they autodownvote. Seems like they are auto rebelling for flagging

Please read the comment under before making nonsensical assumptions. Steemcleaners do not EVER do such infantile things as "auto rebelling for flagging". Whatever that nonsense means. We are mature project.

Good on you for posting instead of the comment shitfarm you were doing, have an upvote.

Now hopefully it doesn’t get autodownvoted when it hits 12 hours until payout

No because it isn't low effort spam just for ROI.

Yeah but spaniator or wtv the bot is called is set on autodownvote. I’ll figure something out but they have almost 3 million SP in the bot, even with a lot of steemian support I’ll be rekt vs that amount of SP... they should be attacked haejin who has profited the most from farming

I'm sure they've only placed it on your comments, if not then contact them and ask in time on their discord.

I hope this explains.

That's probably the reason.
Looks like comment farming on own low quality posts with proxy accounts (jester87, cceleste etc).

Just explain that you stopped that and mack bot will be deactivated.

Yeah thanks, downvoted him from the top slot in a trending post a week ago or so and noticed the farm, he instantly got triggered about the downvote. Glad someone reported him and even more glad he's adjusting to newsteem.
