As it ever occur to you that some people spend 24 hours on steem, and no hour to reverence their personal shit? Aside a witness which I don't think I am ready to argue the blocks with, every other person has a right to share in my story.
At first, you thought I was referring to you, I have been so engulf in steem that I forgot the day of the week. I guess it is now an addiction.
Steem blockchain is another community entirely, another commitment, your personal life that you live by it and stick to the code.
Being that the existing protocol is base on blogging, its makes it more difficult to be lackadaisical about job to be done. We have numerous, countless numbers of users on the chain already and everyday new users are joining across the globe. That's pretty good right? But that is a hell of a competition (healthy or un-healthy) you just have to play the games and be up to the tasks.
Right now it is just 3:25am Nigerian time and I am writing this out on the blockchain and probably it will be a different time zone while reading this. But the point is clear that steem consumes more effort, energy and time than any other activities you may plan for or think of doing. It is the game for the survival of the fittest i.e the game requires you to devout all to it.
Often times, I meet disappointment in the face of the newbies due to the fact that either they are frustrated cos of poor payouts or they get kicked out by the complexity of the chain. Whao, you didn't tell me it was like this, you didn't ask me.
Basically, I like referring to myself in instances like this, I could remember when I just joined the platform I was lackadaisical about blogging relatively cos I don't understand the ecosystem like I do now...
And I had a divided attention back then, I was schooling then when I joined. Meanwhile steem is a jealous type. She doesn't take NO for an answer, she's a bitch that probably seeks attention AF and nigga you will definitely give it to her if you need the positive result. I realize this I am telling you guys very late but not almost late, that steem controls 99.5% of your life and while the remaining 5% you can decide to keep it and give it back to complete the equation.
Probably I should list the things have neglected for the Steem Blockchain since I got addicted and initiated;
I no longer manage some of my social media accounts, they are on HOLD.
Sleepless night, my 4-7 hours sleep isn't complete sometimes.
Although, I don't keep friends though, my list of friends changed from random people to steemitizens.
I had to forget about my internship program at a Law Firm
And every other thing you could think of...
Its worth the struggle, STEEMIT the only platform that will pay you for doing just what you love and make you connect with a lot of intellectual people across the globe
