Whapishhh, that's the sound of a dollar in your back.
My mind is a CPU that processes my version of the world.
If I live in a community, and never get involved with listening to or spreading rumors, then all the rumors become about me.
When I look at a tree the leaves show me chaos, when I look at a high rise building the windows show me order.
Craig Grant in 2001
Vicky and I started looking for a place to buy in Miami Beach. In just a few days after looking at many beautiful high rise Condos, I fell in love with the best one of all. The condo I liked was $856,000, it had glass walls and an amazing ocean view. The condo was on the 40th floor, # 4001 at the Blue Diamond building on 41st and Collins Ave. Miami Beach. The building was new, only a few people lived there. Vicky went back to Bulgaria to take her final exams to graduate from school. The Blue Diamond condo I bought came without paint or floors. I hired a company and explained what I wanted. I designed everything with allot of wood, I was inspired by the apartment I stayed in Bulgaria. The condo was 3 bedrooms but I took out one of the bedrooms to open up the space, and I put a bar instead. Cashe had the other bedroom. They said it would cost $97,000 and take at least 6 months... read more @ https://sercee.wordpress.com/
Disregard everything in your imagination as being real, then look around you in your physical reality, that's the real world.
The worlds most expensive skateboard can do amazing tricks if you follow only one rule, never tell anyone how much money you paid for it.
INTEND = want it NOW, then let it go, until it comes back around in the flow, when I least expect it, like magic.

have fun :)
Let youtube be youtube and mold steemit to be more like twitter. Limit the amount of content posted and pay everyone for their efforts. The effort should be enough to guarantee to you a base payout and let the votes bring the value higher or subtract it. But the base price will remain the same and never be taken away. The base price can be valued depending on the amount of steem power you have. Under 5k will give you $15, 10k $25, 15k $35, 20 k $50 per blog. That would make me want to buy Steem power to earn more money blogging.
YES, payment based on steem power is a great way to flow
Agree! I would go even lower like 200$
Craig Grant's posts are getting only $1?????????????? What is happening to Steemit when one of the most popular and insightful bloggers only gets $1 in rewards?
The value of my message would be reduced if I earned allot of money... or if I blogged for donated money, my content would not be what it is now... you see, $1 is perfect, or me being paid a minimum amount per blog post for having steem power is also perfect
Don't understand it myself. All his material is informative regardless if you agree with him or not, that alone should have him at least making $20 to 100 a post, its a club and certain folks aren't invited no matter how you think about it. Im starting to see whats going on and yea at times a few whales may pop u a few bones not me of course but someone like Mr.Grant who is willing to invest they will up-vote him to keep him lured in, I hope you stop feeding this system and get your investments out asap!
As far as giving everyone money just because they show up and post, I don't agree with that. I think content should be judged for itself and sure when a market cap is very high and plenty of money exists to go around then I'm much more inclined to agree with your philosophy of generosity, but when things aren't going so well then I don't think we can have these rules.
I don't think there should be minimum or maximum rewards as you know, but I do think we need to figure out how to raise the price of Steem itself because Steem tokens are ultimately what determines whether any bloggers can get paid. No dollar value exists if Steem tokens have no value and payouts shrink for all.
I do think your idea is interesting. Steem Power resulting in minimum payout is not a bad idea generally but how do you determine that threshold and how exactly is it fair if someone gets a minimum payout just because they bought a lot of Steem Power?
It's worth discussing but I don't think it could work unless the price of Steem were high already and then people would have confidence enough to know they can receive the minimum payout indefinitely. If there was a minimum payout, I would set it along an index, where according to the market cap or price of Steem, the minimum would rise or decrease, so that everyone has the maximum incentive possible to raise the market cap and price of Steem. But minimum payouts by Steem Power is still flawed because these people might have simply purchased their position instead of blogged consistently to earn it. What if the minimum payout supports sub par bloggers?
You are wrong. Better content deserves much higher rewards. This will bring in quality content creators not just a whole bunch of crap. Users want quality over quantity. Btw. Equal is unfair.
That is definitely how it should work. Unfortunately whales content will always make more money then the most well written piece here on steemit. That is why many talented content creators are leaving steemit.
I agree that a fix rate is not the best way to attract quality content, but at this point is just an idea by @craig-grant
We need to keep thinking of ideas and ways of attracting and keeping people who make high quality content.
The community needs to stop upvoting whale content for self gain and focus on finding quality content.
We all need to take part on that if we want steemit not just to continue to grow but for it to be successful. @mughat
Here is my part on that

Agreed .
Money runs the world.
Like you said, money is a state of mind.
I like the blogging limit. Its unrealistic for most people to come to Steemit and get rich overnight. Unfortunately that is the mentality that many people come here with.
Thank you Sir for these videos, I'm new here and I was looking how it works finally I find some one who can explain to newbies what it is it exactly, thank's again Sir
You have a point. Videos are easier to make than writing which takes a lot longer. So a video blogger might be happy with a smaller amount of money.
At the same time, I don't think private people are necessarily bad, or that crypto-people shouldn't be targeted. I would say it's the opposite, some of the crypto people are the most morally advanced people on the Internet, and while some of them are gangsters like you say, it's not likely the gangsters are going to acquire a good reputation on Steemit. So Reputation could filter that out.
Really good points Craig.
