Crypto feels stagnant, Steem feels stagnant. My writing is stagnant. My mood in a bit of a slump.
I think it could be after the move is over and we have no immediate action plans.
Stagnant water in a small pool is a bad thing, it grows fungus and moss, and mosquitoes breed.
Malaria and dengue are among the main dangers of stagnant water, which can become a breeding ground for the mosquitoes that transmit these diseases. Stagnant water can be dangerous for drinking because it provides a better incubator than running water for many kinds of bacteria and parasites
I'm not complaining, sometimes it is okay to spend a day or two not feeling highly motivated.
I'm of the opinion Steem needs a new drama, a prank, a stunt... ANYTHING new. But it could just be my mood is restless, restless and stagnant don't go well together. In any case I've considered it and nothing immediately comes to mind.
RV Life Update
We are still in the RV it is going so easily I don't have much to say about it. Tiny Fridge, tiny shower and the overly talkative neighbor, Dave, are the biggest issues. Honestly, it is pretty scary how easily I adapted to the camper... Makes me wonder about the house shopping we are doing. Or maybe I am just this comfortable because I know it is temporary.
Yep, I've been going in and out of this feeling for a while. Noticed other people feeling similar. The interesting thing is how subjective it is; there are still an overwhelming number of developments being announced on a daily basis for STEEM and crypto in general.
I believe the main underlying factor is the prolonged bear market that requires a lot of constant perseverance to overcome. Something that's helped me recently is trying to appreciate how relatively calm and peaceful things are on the platform at the moment.
Best of luck with your house shopping and I hope you're able to break out of the slump/stagnant feeling soon!
Suggestions for starting some shit.
will think of more..
I love this. Don't forget to complain about berniesanders and dan, haejin and how terrible the trending section is. Oh yeah and how long it takes for Steemit, Inc. to roll out changes. Oh yeah and.... (infinite loop of complaining)
All great ideas , also don't forget to NOT INVEST in steem power now that it's dirt cheap so that you can re-discover the steem distribution whinge when the prices go up...
It's called Planning and future proofing.
You forgot to mention the dank sneakers ...
omg lol 😂
@whatsup,
Boring? Then write something against that Bot Controller :D You might never get boring and STEEM might rise by less daily supply through Flags!
Cheers~
Stagnation seems to have made your post semi- interesting and engaging :)
The latest edition of the Quality Content vs. Bonus Whores battle is shaping up over at Musing if you aren't totally bored with that yet. They got a big Steemit delegation a few days ago, and for a while only a few of us noticed, but now the maximum-content-for-minimal-effort crowd has shown up in force. I expect things to blow up pretty soon.
As for pranks and stunts, we definitely don't have enough of those, but sadly it's not my skillset most of the time.
Woooo... :) I'll have to check that out. :)
I’m totally out of the loop. What is Musing?
It's a Quora clone for Steem. https://musing.io
Awesome. Thanks. I’ll take a peek I guess. Still learning the ropes here each day.
Hey hey hey....
we are not supposed to openly call them clones...
There has been a lot of discussion among a couple of users regarding @timcliff initiative to promote #STEEM to investors. Many believe that the platform should only be for those who create and consume content while others say that the role of investors are important. It has made for some interesting reading over the last day or two!
That was an interesting discussion, thanks for pointing it out.
Yeah it sucks feeling like that. I hope it gets better.
RV neighbors are a strange bunch but usually they mean well. It is almost like a caccoon and it will turn into a wonderful estate, hopefully.
House hunting is stressful as hell too. The constant ass kissing for commission is a nightmare.. I had a sum of money when I was younger and I went to find a house. I ended up just going to the courthouse auctions and scored one. It was was less expensive than buying new.
You are OK really!
When I first saw your posts on Steemit I thought you were a guy from England!
I just did a post about bots. It was you that got me obsessed with bots...

I'm more interested in alternate accounts. I wonder if everybody has one?
I do!
Only total freaks have more than one account - it's a personality disorder...
Oi!!!...less of it...
😂😂😂
That is a nasty pool! lol Hopefully your mood is not that bad. Have you posted any RV pics?
I think you're right, there is a bit of flatness about at the mo!
I get like this all of the time! So we just keep moving haha My mom calls us gypsies :)
"overly talkative neighbor, Dave" UGH!!! There's always a few of those, the guys you want to put your head down and feign busy until they pass by haha
"sometimes it is okay to spend a day or two not feeling highly motivated."
Absolutely! The worst trick self-help culture ever pulled was fooling people that they could be constantly happy. I am not, and noone is. And once we acknowledge this, we are ironically much more content, on average. You go ahead and have a few stagnant days, or a stagnant month. It's normal, is what it is.
"the overly talkative neighbor, Dave"
Ever since you moved into the RV, it feels like you've been living in a sitcom, and Dave is obviously the annoying neighbor character. Well done for being so adaptable. I panic if my computer doesn't boot up, or if I can't find my phone, so I feel such admiration for someone who can do the second most stressful thing in the world (ie moving), and go with the flow.
Hope your mood perks up, and if it doesn't now, you know it will later. :)
I'm of the opinion Steem needs a new drama, a prank, a stunt... ANYTHING new. <--- Please do something mischevious!!
I'll start thinking of an evil plan now.
for now im just enjoying myself. I want to build repuation in this period of drought. I know many consider those numbers beside their steem handle as useless, but as @tarazkp put it shows the level of work you've put into the community, so for me that's my focus right now. engage, engage, engage. the steem will come later
As always green....good 👍

You just need a pump up or might be a little holiday to refresh up things hahah :D
You are exactly where you need to be. :-)
Where I live doesn’t really matter to me. As long as I get 2 hots and a cot.
What's up whatsup, (bet you never heard that before...lol) this is probably a stupid worthless idea but then so is my upvote.
Just get out of the camper and take 3 pictures of the stupidest things you can find, maybe Dave the awesome neighbor. (I picture Jerusalem cruizers with knee-high black socks and ugly Hawaiian shirt.)
Then instead of trying to write a crap post (seen you do those before) which are fun and funny. Try to make an amazing post out of it....
Stagnant happens, especially when in cramped quarters, with nothing real exciting going on. I'm having one of those weeks my self, I can't get anything productive done for some reason.
On the bright side, life is full of surprises and you never know what's around the corner. (It could be every time you look at dave now, and seeing the knee-high socks etc.)
Haha! So many good things wrapped in this comment.
Dave, I may just do a whole post about Dave, he's 74 and a bit lonely. If I am outside reading, eating, anything... Dave will join me and tell me about his life....
That sounds, well a bit annoying. I know the feeling, my wife manages a 130 apartments and 60 houses all of which are 62 and older(average age is 81). I have to go to functions, and even better community dances... (yes they can still dance, some with walkers)
Ok this article I heard a long time ago just came up in another conversation, for some reason I thought I would share it with you as well.
It's Earl Nightengale Acres of Diamonds. http://www.nightingale.com/articles/acres-of-diamonds/ I have it on audio and listen to the whole book lead the field a couple times a year.
I do personally feel that it is the part of human psyche that he/she loses something feels sad. It's not only with you rather it is happening with almost everybody as the price of steem goes down. I am very confident that things would be alright, just a thought :)
You could write another "I was wrong ..." post 8-).
Here, have an inspirational flower:
A busy bee gathering food, quite a popular metaphor at the moment, it seems.
