So You're Not Leaving Steemit, Brandon?
No. Now I know that there was a little bit of a speed bump yesterday and many of us were upset (included myself). But that's over and It's time to move on. Let's continue doing what we do best which is to produce great content and help one another in our pursuit of success here on Steemit and beyond. We've got an incredible platform here that can help elevate many lives around the world.
So.. just in case you guys thought I was going somewhere... I'm here to stay. In fact, today alone I've added over $3,000 to my Steemit account! And I plan to continue adding to it in the weeks to come.
My normal videos will resume on Monday. Until then, I hope you guys have an awesome weekend. Oh.. and yesterday's winners for the comment rewards have been chosen and you can see who won by visiting each of the posts from yesterday. And yes, I will be choosing a winner from this post as well. I will announce the winner on Monday!
How to Exchange SBD for Steem Power
- Daily Comment Reward -
- Upvote this post
- Leave a unique comment (not just a "great video!" or "follow me")
- And you could win $20 USD worth of SBD!
That's it! It's also a great idea to go ahead and follow my channel so that you don't miss any upcoming posts. You can do that here: https://steemit.com/@brandonfrye
Awesome news @brandonfrye! I'm excited to hear you'll be sticking around. The $3,000 you added, I assume, was from rewards on your posts -- you've reinvested those into Steemit? I am trying to get a grasp on what the content creators I admire are doing here on Steemit so I can take a similar approach when I reach 7 days and start adding my own rewards.
Really appreciate the transparency you display toward the platform. Thank you for what you do!

Hey @prettydecent, thanks. And no that was money that came from my crypto investments. I have a lot more I'm looking to add in the upcoming weeks. But I do also reinvest my earnings. It's really best to reinvest all you can into your Steem Power. That's what gives you the most "power" here on the platform. And if you're investing in your Steem Power that's good for everyone here. Anyways, thanks for your comments and I will always keep it "real" and "transparent" with you all. :)

I thought i was the only one who experienced the speed bump because my network really sucks sometimes, its really being an honour meeting a steemian like you @brandonfrye
I am about one week old into steemit, i must say your informative post and cryptocurrency talks, really made your blog my second home
I am happy to know you're not going, i too,i ain't going no where, i just starting steeming and i already see the unlimited prospects here, its being four days now and i haven't logged on to facebook
One of the things keeping me here, is the fact that someone like @brandonfrye will always make my day bright and informative

Hi Brandon! I'm really glad to see that you're doing okay after what was going on yesterday. I read through those posts and the comments, and I didn't even know what to say, it was incredibly frustrating to see that this kind of thing is going on here. I am new, been on Steemit just a few days so far. I have really been enjoying learning all about Steem and how to become a part of the community, contribute valuable content, Etc. Yesterday I did not know that voting bots even exist until I came across your post and a couple of others about the topic. And, I have spent a bit of time today reading all about these whale wars that have been mentioned between a handful of people... It kind of hurts my heart and made me feel just a little bit disillusioned, sigh. BUT, not enough to really scare me away either... I'm going to stick around, too, stick it out, and do what I can to make the community better. Maybe someday I will get to where you are. I know it will take me time, I don't actually have the ability to invest any money from outside Steemit right now, so I am building from the ground up, lol, but I'm cool with that and having a lot of fun already. I have visions of building my own Linux Ubuntu server and becoming a witness. I'll get there eventually, I'm currently educating myself and sourcing... Anyway, thank you for making such awesome videos and posts, I've already learned a lot from you! Take care, see you around. :)

I came to your post from steemfollower today because I was interested in your headline. I cannot afford to buy in, and I take about half the sbd out for my living expenses with are not too much. I think I am "mining" for sp with my blog posts and this is how I invest. I'm all about the sp :)

@Brandonfrye, Excellent!
Very encouraging!
So one real quick question?
I have not been able to buy crypto or steem when I tried to sign up for coinbase.
They said they have some technical issue. Where do you recommend to by a currency or by steem dollars direct besides coinbase that is safe and cost effective? I want more steem power
So glad to know your steeming on.

I just came for the first time across your post. How are you adding 3000 to your account? all with earnings here on Steemit? That is really impressive. I will have to watch one of your videos to see what information you share.
You probably do know that, but if steemit has a hickup, you can usually post just fine from busy.org. You need your active key to sign in to busy. Everything you post there will show up on your steemit blog as well. I found it when a few month back steemit was under attack for over a week and posts kept disappearing. An added bonus is that if you tag a post with busy, you will get an upvote - once a day.
Another platform is chainbb. I am not that familiar with it yet, but there is a forum option.
Finally, may I share a link to your profile with the freewriters in my daily prompt? The chance of an upvote is a nice gift to all of us who still dream of even having a total of 3000 in our wallets. :)

Good to hear. I think Steemit needs alternatives, to end all the drama. Something like Utopian-io but for other types of content. So that people don't have to use bots necessarily. All a matter of further organization. The market is the only system whose institutions are endofunctional: they can operate on themselves. Problems exist to be solved.

True. I’ve already learned from this post that I don’t need to use upvote bots. And I’ve been teaching all along that people shouldn’t rely on bots. What would be cool is an account that rewards people for creating great content and not using bots. These are the kind of things I’m interested in creating here on Steemit.

You make me believe.

Great news man. I think everyone that follows you saw how frustrated you were with the downvote. Especially being newer to this community, it was a rough lesson I're sure.
But I think you have a long term vision for your game plan for this platform and that's just a bump in the road.

good! If an incident like that from GrumpyCat would have been enough to make you leave the platform then what chance do the rest of us have? btw another wrongly abused victim of grumpycat was among the top trending ones today, so its going around. Not much anyone can do to stop that behavior though, that I can see, sadly.
