I have a lot to thank steemit for, and I have done so on many
occasions in numerous posts, but today, I realized
that I have a lot more to thank steemit for
than I originally thought.

It turns out that steemit has shaped me into a successful investor,
Someone who can invest in a coin and stick with it through its many ups and downs.
Someone who can get multiple (500k+) opinions from investors on various coins in real time 24/7.
Someone who can wait for eos to go down from $5 to $0.50 before diving in feet first.
Someone who went from being homeless at 15yrs old, to making 100k in a week........... True Story.
I would say that just investing in steem is a step in the right direction to becoming a great investor but can being active on steemit really improve your ability to make lots of money?
Well, yes! but first, you have to invest in some steem and then power it up to really find out how you become a great investor.
let me explain, when you lock up your steem in steempower it's impossible to panic sell when it drops to $0.80
This means for the first time you have a coin that is easy to hold onto because, well let's face it, it's locked up, neither you, your emotions or your restless fingers can touch that coin until you power down and that takes 3 months of weekly installments, by this time, steem has gone up to $2 and you've just learnt the most valuable lesson in the crazy world of crypto.......
HODL YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!!!
Of all the things I have gained since being on steemit there
is just one thing I have lost............... The ability to sleep
when steem is PUMPING!!!

congrats man!
That's 100% my own story here, currently looking at some sailboats online :-). Nice eh
Well done Bro! Can't understand all this haters who don't like that you are successfull and make some money with steemit! If you was an investor from the beginning, it is your right to take an active roll! Steemit is no reddit! So please stop with the shitstorm and hate messages and spread love! There is no place for haters! Everyone had the same chance! Fairplay! 100% upvote from my side! Thanks
Yep, I'm definitely holding out until it hits $1,000!
Yeah If you stop upvoting all your worthless, one line comments it might go to $1.000 you dumb ass!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 LOL
Steem to the moooooon 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
LOL! TRUTH! 😂
My man! 😎
Hate much?
Dayum!
Well done
Congratulations! Steemit is truly a dream come true. This is the future and we are receiving so much goodness from it. Congrats once again!
I feel truly blessed, as do we all no doubt :)
Thanks for stopping by @artedellavita
It really is Amazing the freedom that can come from smart investing. At the beginning I told myself I would NEVER Power Down and would wait until forever. But recently my husband and I have made some plans for me to make some investments in other coins as well. So I recently decided to Power Down just until I reach the amount I need to make my initial investment and then I’ll stop the PD. The fact that I have the freedom to do something like this is Amazing in itself. I’m hoping that this other investment takes off so that I can put even more back into my SteemPower. I really see Steemit taking off from here and I’m so glad to be apart of this now and not later :D
Keep enjoying these fruits my friend!! I know I will!!
Yes, @crosheille, the feeling is undesirable when something you believe in so much gets the value it deserves.
I like your plan, I too am making some moves to greatly increase my SP.
Thanks for the feedback. :)
Hello, totally agree with you! Have a good trip on steemit
yea
Well done Mark!!! This one was strong. I've recently realized that the Steem Dollars I was holding are 10x more expensive. I've suddenly received the money I needed to cover a debt. Part of the earnings went in other hopefully smart investments. Enjoy! :)
Great to hear, steem ON!!!!
Congrats my dear friend for your great success in this world. It's a reward for your contineous hard work and dedication in this community. Thanks for sharing how steem power help us to boost our power and control. Wish you a very good night. Thanks.
Thank you @maya7
A really big thanks to the wonderful Steemit family, from the creators, developers, witnesses, to most basic content creators.
A great community, feels good to be a part of it. :)
wow, that's amazing @markwhittam! Homestead/ecovillage here we come...
This is such a game changer, gonna be an exciting year for sure! :D
LOL!!!!! Nice way to notice the misspelling. LOL!
@truth-be-told stop upvoting your worthless comments all over my page, oh and look up Hodl it's not a spelling mistake
report him to Steemcleaners
also Randowhale pays you SBD for sending him SP
I think your new years resolution should be to stop being a jerk face.
Ok, I promise to stop being a jerk face when you stop circle jerking your one liners...... Do we have a deal? I'll even throw in an upvote on your next post
Who knows we might even become friends ;)
Jerk Face in steem land is someone who does this, says "Thanks" to everyone and then goes and upvotes his contribution to the steemit eco-system...... way to go buddy!
Thanks...
Yes @reko it's looking like it's meant to be. :)
I hope you come and visit when it's up and running :)
Bless.
you know it brother! Might even come and help you set it up, we'll see what the future holds...
or we'll both initiate one each and support each other... maybe Steem communities will pop up all over the world... Med regelbundna studiebesök till de olika platserna! :)
I always like stories about people who educate themselves for success. Great job.
Wow! Awesome! Awesome post.
I'm pretty new on steemit. Don't have visibility
Please do well to check out my introductory post

what a good friend...
Awesome story and great points! Congrats my friend!
That is fantastic! Keep up the good work! At this time it looks like you just made an extra $68 on top of that $100! :)
Oh Yeah! I'm looking forward to getting better and better at investing! I love following your story and in truth, this couldn't happen to a better family! You have earned everything good coming your way!!
good post @markwhittam
Cool 👍
I am not powering down till STEEM is up to $1000 a coin then I am only gonna power down for 3 weeks. Enough to pay off the debt I have and enough to put half of it into savings and the other half into a travel fund. Then I am gonna stop the power down and let it grow more.
awesome story wish you all the best well done
Hodl baby, STEEM on, time for the world to spread its wings!! Peace
Thanks for sharing your success. It is an inspiration.
This is the future of social media, we must be so proud to still be the early adopters of it!
first i wanna thank you for this amazing post and then i wanna ask when you start here in this website steemit
and vice ICO coming up on the steem blockchain...
Congratulations!
Can you let us know how did you manage to earn that much?
What did you do?
I will be thankful if you teach us new users.
Cheers!
He,he ...hope you sleep tight this time. Congratulations for that gain in just a week,wow! I'll follow that move. "Hold tight on my sh^**#t.
@markwhittam Congrats on the earnings so quickly. I am new to steemit and I am also new to investing, but I'll get there. There are so many Steemians to learn from. I look forward to your upcoming posts.
great..and congrats..I'm new and off to a good start...I'm happy to follow and upvote..plse see my blog. esp. if you enjoy prof. baseball witing!! thanks
Gratitude is a good thing. You understand and appreciate gratitude. You also have done much in helping others here on Steemit. I can think of your countless hours on @familyprotection. God rewards those to look after His sheep. You have found reward and are blessed by blessing others. Thanks @markwhittam for your kindness and blazing a path for others to follow.
Cool that you made 100k in one week, maybe you will have more of those in the future. As for Steem I don't think it will go much above the peak it has reached, I mean not at this moment, I think it will stall for a while and then the price will go down. But as we have seen eventually it will start rising again, to me it seems these cryptos are cyclical, with the curiosity that every cycle ends up at a higher price than when it started. So people can ride out the slumps and they eventually make money, I don't even know if I have made myself understood, I am kind of sleepy right now.
dang! Thats awesome keep up the good work! I am slowly but surly learning the ways :D just started buying into more crypto.. have some friends that turned a couple thousand into a couple tens of thousands :D crazy!!! I hope I can keep learning and growing and make 2018 a unforgettable year!!!
Cheers!
It's great to hear. 😎
Wow! I was not sure when you went all in this summer, but it sure payed off. I'm glad you introduced me to Steemit too! I have a long way to go to make a 100 grand but the possibility suddenly seems a lot more realistic. I am really excited about what I have made so far though.
Now I just have to get my investments right before the crypto market really takes off in 2018.
i really want to thank steemit to getting feedback, and thank you too.
DANG!!!!
Wow that nice man.
The powerup mechanisme is an awesome tool to make everyone hodl and preventie panick sales. It’s a sort of selffulfilling prophecy. We buy, we power up, steem gets scarce, value rises and so on and so forth.
Congrats to all of us I’d say.
I am VERY HAPPY for you!!! For sure you much more then deserve it and you are doing so many good things with that money. People like you should earn more and more, because being rich is a blessing, you have now more power to spread the resources with the others! Such a wonderful gift :) Or at least, I hard one day Dalai Lama speaking about it!
Thank you a lot! <3
@markwhittam WOW thats awesome...
More blessings!
Its absolutely crazy to see the kind of income steemit is bringing to some users! It truly will make a HUGE difference in peoples lives!
You deserve it Mark. You have shared so much love and support money can't buy.
All the best of wishes and I hope you have the life of your dreams waiting around the corner !
After I read this story, I've been inspired all week!! You're a true example to me and I am so delighted, amazed, and encouraged to hear your story as it spurs me on to believe I can also achieve financial freedom through being on steemit... In fact, you've inspired me to set this intention in the universe:
https://steemit.com/healthy2018/@mountainjewel/healthy2018-increasing-financial-abundance-through-steeming-part-time
THANK YOU! for following your dreams and sharing them and being an example to us all. XO
The secret of all of it is perseverance, hard work and just to HODL it whenever all your sense tell you to sell it all. We have all in our ADN a survival instinct which when things go bad we enter in a damage control status and we just take decisions to survive, to not lose it all. But, the ones that are powerful, strong and see the vision on long term just keep it together until the storm passes. Great achievement and let's not all forget that we are here to help each other and grow together. Congrats!
Thats Awesome! Keep up the good work buddy! Yea! As they say Happy Dance...
This is really fantastic - it sounds like you're swimming with the whales now and you deserve every penny.
Well done, be sure to diversify some of your winnings into other solid asset classes. Even 10%. If the entire crypto market falls on it's ar5e you would never forgive yourself for not taking some profit off the table. I've made the same mistake myself and thought the market will never stop going up, but it did and it crashed and I lost almost everything.
Please ad me to your upvote list! Steemit is great! Please visit policyofliberty, too. Appreciate your upvotes! I upvoted yours as well.
Congratulation! The locking up the investment is probably the best feature to save us from quick fingers, and avoid selling in panic :) I am just angry i did not put more money into it. I was more like, I will earn it blogging.
this is encouraging from near zero to hero, i hope to be like soon ..
Cheers
