I am perched on steem and I found moon- @Surpassinggoogle

The @Steemgigs Discord Talk show which held on Saturday 14th July, 2018 by 5:00pm (GMT+1) was an amazing and an inspiring after about 3 weeks of not attending the show. Though I arrived very late due to my earlier speaking engagement in a nearby State – Cross River; I was able to grasp a glimpse of everything that happened and I was able to ignite the fire.

I was so stunned to see @Surpassinggoogle use the text channel during the show (that is my first time of seeing him do that). I know he might have given a reason for that. It was amazing to have read his chats some of which were copied and screen shot for the sake of this update and review.

The Show was explicit about challenging us to be a part of the journey in taking STEEM to the moon. @Surpassinggoogle was deliberate to elucidate simple but practicable measures to undertake so we can see and improve the value of #steem.

Behave Like the Co-owners of Steemit

Terry charged every steemian and in reality every #ulogger to see themselves as the co-owners of steem. Indeed, it dawned on me that Steemit exists because I am a part of it. Steemit exists because you are a part of it. Our involvement in the STEEM project is what gives it the value it presently has. In his words, Terry had this to say:

How about if we started to treat steemit, like the co-owners that we actually are, as well!
My point is, if you own a house and you get tenants in it and they misuse the furniture and puncture the walls etc; do we hastily react and pull down the house?
Do you leave the house out of tiredness and abandon ownership of it; to the tenants?
Most likely, no! We will passionately put in effort to renovate it; to fix it and if it is only one room in the entire building that we own, we will renovate and fix that room!
I am not trying to teach! I am mostly talking of me as a steemian.
I have like a little bit over 1000 steem power and it may be uncut comedy; but i am co-owner of steem technology.

See the Beauty of Steemit

Now, "steemit is beautiful!" - @Surpasinggoogle

It is true that of all crypto-based platforms and all internet-based social platforms, only steemit celebrates humanity, that is why it is beautiful. In one of my responses to @Autofreak on this subject, I said that the #beautifulness of steemit is as unique as #Steemit itself. No rival, no competitor. This is because we all OWN . I can make bold to say that Steemit is the true definition of DEMOCRACY. Many others will always want to partner with steemit because #Steemitisbeautiful.

The beauty of steemit also portrays itself in the fact that everyone who comes in whether today or tomorrow has a stake. We all have our courts to contribute our quota. Am glad to be a part of steemit especially when we have amazing people like @Surpassinggoogle in the governing body.

Terry continues his chat this way:

If my dear little portion of steemit, is starting to grow scars, do i quit? I don't intend to! "I will try donate my portion to fix the entire steemit or fix my tiny portion of steemit!"
I am becoming enthusiastic about steemit as something that I own. In layman’s term; 'as i gradually understand what steem technology is and the model around which it is built, I marvel at its genius!'

Believe in Steemit and Be a Part of Steemit Future

I believe in steemit and I don’t see it failing. My conviction is strong! In the first steemit meetup in Manila, Philippines recently, i; who was only recently, a newbie to blockchain, social network on blockchain, crypotocurrency etc impromptuly had to speak about steemit to regular internet users and as i explained steemit in layman terms, i saw it; "Steem technology and steemit is indeed a beauty!"

Terry further emphasized his belief in steemit as he said this:

Steemit isn't built to fail!
But if it does fail; in my case, there can't have been a loss! The "mining with minds" will continue endlessly! Only the token changes! For an investor here, it may not be that easy! Therefore, the solution is; "We must make sure it doesn't fail and we can!"
Steemit and steem technology means alot to different people and for some steemians; amongst many other things, steemit is a means to GIVE. "A means to inspire, influence, touch someone out there; by means of a simple upvote or by means of a timely comment".

This beauty of #steemit is what guarantees it future. This is because Me and you will take steem to the moon. We will together define and give steem its value. Steemit is ever-green and full of value with me and you.

Share the Joy that Steemit Offers

Sometimes, I was obsessed with knowledge sharing and had many posts on that. This is because I discovered that the value of knowledge increased each time we shared it. In steemit, we are all expected to share all that we have. With as little as upvotes and resteem, we simply share our joys and we all have something to give to one another. Terry is one person that has taught how to be this philantropic and gladly he is never giving up. He had this to say:

If I had the means, I would buy steem, just to give it out in upvotes.

If giving has become as easy as an upvote; "Then we have all given". "If we have all given; then we have not lost!"

Steemit as an addiction

Personally, since I joined steemit, I won;t stay a day without coming around, sometimes, just to view posts and smile within me. I have become a happy workaholic with #Stemmit.

But steemit is one beautiful addiction: "it affords its users, the luxury of having their say; running your own dream! According to me, even now that the price of steemit is declining; "yes, it is scary"; but nothing is wrong with steemit that we cannot fix! We just have to take charge and do what we do best, "mine with our minds" and for now, if there is not much steem, let's mine with our minds; for the many other beautiful things about steemit. "There is also its very amazing beautiful community!"

Come for the Rewards, Stay for the community!

All that guarantees rewards in the #steemit platform is the decision to register one's presence here. When our presence is registered, then the rewards can follow. Staying around is what guarantees the joys. Terry had made an analogy of Noah's ark. The only thing God told the people to do was to enter the ark. That simple obedience was what was meant to guarantee their safety.

In Terry's words,

I won’t lie, this is a big statement! On today's internet, a true community of great minds is luxury. It doesn't exist anywhere! - Terry
I spoke to @papa-pepper, @kus-knee, @benjojo today, for the very first time and yes, 'i am somebody' but in reality; on the internet; "who i'm i? Yet, they gave me ears and if they had apprehension or rules, they broke it and gave room to me. It doesn't happen anywhere!
Let’s repaint that to ourselves and display that to the world! Let’s re-engage with ourselves and get to know each other. Let’s tell every steemian, that a even a tiny piece of their mind as seen in the comments is valued and even valuable.
As we strengthen our steemit community; this will strengthen our conviction in the imminent breakthrough of steemit; which will instill us into bringing new people into our finally established home-away-from-home! This will help us see more need to create things, that will shoot steem technology to the mainstream.

Steemit is beautiful because I and you are involved and we will take STEEM to the moon.
