Today I Celebrate Exactly Two Years On Steemit

in steemit •  6 years ago 

This day in 2016 I joined Steemit. It was after @wadepaterson interviewed me in his famous "20 questions with..." series.

Sometimes I really can't believe it's two years already. It was a bumpy road at times, but nevertheless and enjoyable one. I met a lot of interesting people, I was rewarded beyond my expectations, I crawled through the depths of the bear markets and enjoyed the enthusiastic spikes in December 2017. Or, in clearer terms, I've seen STEEM both at 10 cents and at 7 dollars.

I started my witness node very soon after I joined, on November 10th, which, by the way, it's also my birthday. I kept my witness node(s) running continuously ever since (except a one month hiatus in the spring of 2017, following one of the many flag wars). I'm still actively contributing to the community from this position and I don't plan to slow down, on the contrary, I have a couple of other projects building slowly under the radar.

During these two years not only I maintained my witness node(s), but I also created and still maintain and improve:

  • steem.supply - for many the number one site to check your STEEM rewards
  • php-steem-tools - the php library on top of which steem.supply was built

With the good, the bad and the ugly, Steemit is still my number one crypto project, the one in which I'm keeping the majority of my portfolio, my highest hopes and on which I'm spending the most of my time.

Thanks for following me on this journey and here's to the next 2 years, even more joyful than the first ones.

And more profitable, obviously.


I'm a serial entrepreneur, blogger and ultrarunner. You can find me mainly on my blog at Dragos Roua where I write about productivity, business, relationships and running. Here on Steemit you may stay updated by following me @dragosroua.

Wanna know when you're getting paid?

I know the feeling. That's why I created steem.supply, an easy to use and accurate tool for calculating your Steemit rewards

It's free to use, but if you think this is a useful addition, I'd appreciate your witness vote.

Thank you!

Congrats on the two year. May your next be even better.

Sorry @dragosroua , I see this post really late .
I just want to hope you all the best for your third year in the Steem blockchain which is commencing !
p.s. Someone told me that we will see you soon at Valencia ;-)

Yes, I will be there after October 15th, really looking forward to it. :)

Hey, @dragosroua.

Congratulations on your two year anniversary. You've seen much of what's gone here in that time, which makes you a valuable resource for history and how things work on the blockchain. Your dev expertise is a plus, and so is your perspective. It helps when you've been around the block a couple times, doesn't it?

Here's to several more anniversaries. :)

The time is flying by and it's still exciting. No platform is perfect, but I think we have a great community here who can make something of it.

Hi @dragosroua! Congratulations with your 2 year anniversary! Keep it up! I'm just finishing my first year on Steemit.com at this month and I'm glad that one of my friends told me about this great platform at previous year.

Happy Steemversary!
:)

You know I was just telling you this some days ago about your two years here, Waoh, glad you're two years old here.
Congratulations once more bro.
What are you going to use in celebrating this milestone.

When we hear 2 years when Steem is 2 and a half years old it's impressive. Congratulations to you for hanging in here in... interesting times, both ups and downs. And eager to find out more about your under the radar project(s)!

Happy anniversary....
Cheers to many more to come...

Congratulations, Dragos!

I've appreciated your presence here, your tutorials and your analysis of situations, and I continue to support you as witness.

😄😇😄

@creatr

Happy Steem Birthday @dragosroua! There are some exciting years ahead!

Hippo Birdie Two Ewe!

Man, I'm glad you are here. Clearly one of the good guys.

Congrats on 2 years and thanks for all your contributions @dragosroua!

Congrats dude! I have already been following you for a while and know for a fact that you have done good work here.

There are many things that I can list here but I would mention the point that made me choose you as my witness - The way you take care to let us know whats happening with Steem. It is the way you do it, making sure to use a language that is understood by the non-tech crowd and even then you try to include as many details as possible..... I really don't need to explain since a lot of us already know what I am talking about.

I don't intent to sound flaky but I am still gonna say it...... basically your posts doesn't make me feel stupid, they make me feel informed.

Thanks for the good work :-)

Happy birthday man ! really eager for SMTs to appear so that we may enjoy at least one of your "under the radar projects" :) Have fun and don't forget that birthday upvotes are a thing :D

Congratulations @dragosroua :)
steem.supply still one of my favorite's Steem tools 👍

Congratulations on your 2 years on steemit @dragosroua
Blessed to have you here

Congratulations! I'm happy to have you as one of our witnesses. It's amazing you knew right off the bat that you wanted to go all in and set up a witness node. Good for you. And glad you still post also.

Then you certainly deserve a decent upvote 😀

Congratulations, my friend!

Keep on pushing in whichever way you decide.

Congratulations!!! This is big time in this platform. I want the best for you.

Congrads on 2 year!

You've been through it all man. Your Steem supply tool was a very helpful tool for me when I started earlier this year.

Thank you for your contribution to this Community and happy two years anniversary buddy. More strength, more fun and more Steem in your wallet.

Wow. What a great personality and great achievements within a short period. Good job to you @dragosroua. Happy Steemitversary.

We love what you do. Kudos...

Entered June 20, 2017
When Steem ranges 0.92 - 1.60
I do too, saw Steem at 8 and SBD at 14
I made few bucks which I spend on food, groceries and some drinks.

I still believe in the coin performance. Steemit.com is my primary publishing platform. Going forward again to the 200 SP Level. Not That much but it is a way to incentive mysel to the next level...

Congratualtions @dragosroua, you remain one of the better witnesses

Happy steemAniversary @dragosroua !

KEEP ON RUNNING!!
No need to be a masochist to run well... but a bit of pain could make you stronger. ;)

Wow many congratulations on this awesome and epic journey that you had on the steem blockchain :D many more years to come keep sharing and inspiring all the steemians along the way :)

Good day @dragosroua! Congrats with your 2 year anniversary! Keep it up! As so as I'm here just a month such big period seems to me increadeable!

First of all congrats on completion of Two year. After reading your post I regret a lot why I did not know this awesome platform when it started.

I started blogging in year 2010 on blogger and then moved to WordPress invested so money in hosting domain and other premium service around the WordPress. At the end I found there is no value of good content if you are not targeting keywords and SEO.
Thanks God to Steemit where Good content gets value without help of SEO and keywords and people help each other,

On Steemit helping other means helping yourself.I am at very beginning stage, after my completion of one year I will also write a post and I will thanks to everyone who helped me to grow on this platform.

For me, you are one of the very few steemian who write not only regularly regardless of the sentiment of crypto market, but also your blog always have clarity and very concise as well. Thank you. Cheers for completing two full years.

Hello @dragosroua, thank you for sharing this creative work! We just stopped by to say that you've been upvoted by the @creativecrypto magazine. The Creative Crypto is all about art on the blockchain and learning from creatives like you. Looking forward to crossing paths again soon. Steem on!
