Today is a big day for me, as I really put my money where my mouth is, and allocated a larger percentage of my investment portfolio to Powering Up with Steem!
I did this for a number of reasons.
Firstly, I initially invested around $2k into Steem and my Steemit account was worth over $6.5k in less than 3 months. This doesn't have much to do with a shift in the price of Steem, but rather the influence of my account growing and earning more followers, visibility, and also larger curation rewards. Logic tells me that money makes money. I want to up my chances of earning on this platform.
Secondly, I believe in the growth of this platform. There just isn't anything like it anywhere else. Every time I take the chance to sit down with someone and show them how Steemit works, they are blown away. As part of a community of artists that for the most part have zero investment portfolio, the concept of earning small amounts of crypto every day for doing what we do anyway - sharing content on social media - is a total game changer! I think this will only accelerate over the next 12 months.
Lastly, there is an intangible "tell" about the future success of Steemit that is undeniable - A CULTURE IS BEING CREATED HERE. In the world of corporations, brands, platforms and marketing, this is the magic ingredient. Whoever creates culture wins. It is simple. The friends I have been making here, the Discord server chat rooms, the allegiances, and the depth of reflection on our shared goals and principles is AWESOME and SUPER RARE. This is why we cannot fail. Culture trumps the odds any day of the week.
It feels good to have some more skin in the game.
It feels good to be actively participating in this new economy.
It feels good to be creating a culture, and therefor success, every day.
Big love to you all,
@benleemusic
Thanks for your help in building the community! I hope my content can be worthy of your support. Please email me if there's anything I can do to help you help Steemit. [email protected]

Do you think upvoting your own comments with $3.93 is helping the community or yourself? I think its all good actually to up-vote yourself however I am not trying to run for president and prove to the nation I am not a selfish leader. Something for you to think about when your out there canvassing. If there is anything I can do to help you send me 0.001 SBD and let me know.

There is a lot of good stuff going on here - of that I am in no doubt.
But before we all get too excited about a future where trickle-down economics suddenly starts working (for the first time ever), we might spare a thought for those new steemians who do not have thousands of dollars to spare on powering up, sometimes because they only earn a few dollars a day, and often because they need that money for rent or food.
Steemit, and indeed the whole steem ecosystem, has massive potential - otherwise I would not have spent so much time here (my time is worth more than my money). But as we think of the future we are creating, I hope we give consideration to what kind of future that is, and who, other than ourselves, it will benefit.

I agree with this sentiment - but we can each begin where we are. For me that means directly supporting the community of artists around me who live paycheck to paycheck with no financial security. I think this is a big step forward. And yes, as we grow, we can have greater and greater philanthropic impact on our wider world.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

We certainly do begin where we are - how could we start anywhere else ? :)
Also, sorry for being such a grump. I've had an increasing number of conversations with steemians trying to make ends meet. That, and my work is about to bring me into contact with some of the most marginalised people in Australian society (in Melbourne at least). I'd be happier of more people here were mindful of these people and how our wealth could help them. Reflecting on this, rather than reacting, I know that you are aware, and acting for change (in a good way).

Well said man, the work will only come to fruit if those with worthy upvotes (0.10 cent upwards) go out and actively find the bottom of the barrel posts (worthy ones of course) made by those who are on the breadline.

That is great! That is where value for all users increase: when people put faith in the system. As people realize what powering up does and the larger influence you gain, that increases the overall demand for steem and that is good for everyone on the platform.

lol @ The Hunger games comparison, you make it sound so serious. Its an online bloggin site mate, if its not making you enough cash get off your computer chair and go earn some cash. Visit the beach and collect some driftwood and shells and make something and sell it on ebay. Become a labourer on a building site. Distribute leaflets, work in a bar, Get a degree and earn money for your specialty. Etc. My point is steemit is nothing like the ideas presented in the hunger games.

With a fragile new ecosystem, and multiple currencies pegged to it. Hopefully we can become much more robust and get the wealth distributed more evenly. As it stands, you have one of the top 2000 most powerful accounts now probably.

Yo Ben,
I think it's a testament to the value of the platform that we have more and more people ADDING value to it.
Your financial contribution to the platform speaks volumes. But everything else you're doing - sharing great stories, unique music and your personal flavour within the community gives this space so much more. This is the true value of Steemit.
It's important that socially mobile celebs are encouraging like minded folk to take a look at Steemit. The platform doesn't need spruiking. It just needs exposure. It sells itself a the best upcoming social media platform for quality content providers and as long as we all carefully select who we follow, we will be fed the best kind of content - ad free!
Take care, mate.

hi Ben, you are a rare breed, many artist with an existing fan base would not bother coming onto a early platform until a sufficiently large number of their fans or potential fans have already arrived. You're early, and when even 1-2% of artist gets on Steem, we would have started exploding and a lot of your peers will be looking at you like the way most in the music and R&B industry look at Fifty for envisioning the potential in btc.
