I'm putting my LAST penny into Steemit.

Man... Where to start. Those days where you just have to pull through. Its been one of those days. I'm not going to just rant to about the hard parts of my day and end it there. I'm sure like of TON of you guys and girls have just had a day so epically painful that you just want to give up.😞 SO you know what I’m just up to my eyeballs in stress and it seems like anyone i talk to doesn’t get me. I’m STEEMing lol.

A little bit of backstory to me. I was a successful marketer and seo company blah blah blah. We've all heard this. I guarantee it because most of the users on this platform are early cause we see the value and the power of steemit. So anyways I lost it all. When I say I lost it all i mean my home and my cars and the roof over my head. I slept in my car for 4 months. It was the most miserable part of my life. Sometimes i would go 2-3 days no food. I spent hours every day at Starbucks. Like more than the homeless people. I joke about it because of where I’m at now. (no I’m not gonna say I have made millions so follow me 😂)

I got on my Gary Vee thrift shopper hustle.
Grabbing every small opportunity that I saw.🐙

FAST FORWARD 3 months.

I was able to pay rent in a little place at $400 a month from living in my car. (but I was still on the couch) Not only that but I had been able to start catching up on the basic bills. The phone bill that was 2 months behind for the first time in months it was all caught up.

I managed to save $1500. Which in the past 3 months is an enormous amount when you couldn’t buy a .76 cent bagel for 3 days not that long ago.

I have been avidly tracking the success of Bitcoin which brought me to the Blockchain.
HOLY SHIT… We found Utopia… So I was converted and lets just say I am a skeptic. There are so many fly by night ponsi schemes. I even looked and paid for Futurenet.club if anyone has heard of it but it didn’t feel right. I still had to pay money to make money. That’s when I found steemit.

I’m literally LOL’ing super loud thinking how much of a spokes person I sound like. But here is the catch. I’m putting out this monologue/blog/vlog before ive made money on steemit and that $1500 I saved was for this decision. I believe that steemit has the power to change the entire social media market. It doesn’t feel like some unorganized BILLIONS OF FEATURES crammed into a website. It feels like early facebook and early youtube. I cant explain the feeling!

But HERE ARE THE REASONS steemit.io is a fucking 🦄

1. You DO NOT have to pay to get an account.
2. You get paid for any interaction you make that drive views and Like (upvotes)
3. The quality of content on steemit is decided by the users based on the like and comments of other users.
4. NO MLM or affiliate signup system
5. It runs on the Blockchain which guarantees I get paid 75 for the quality of the content I put on steem and on DTube which is where I uploaded a video RECAP of my day. (its not pretty)🤑
6. I CANT BE CENSORED for my posts. I can say what I want when I want. We’ve all had a facebook, Instagram, or twitter post removed. Maybe it was just me haha 🤐

BACK TO WHY TODAY WAS SO HARD,

Remember that business I told you about? Ya well I put my money in my bank account to invest in steem coin but Paypal had a transaction they “decided” was unable to reverse so they charged my account $700. MOTHER FU*#^%$&^%(&

SKIP FORWARD 2 HOURS...

I live right next to the Puyallup fair ground and it is the biggest yearly fair. I park my car at the 7eleven across the street. I live close enough that I was able to run back and grab my cellphone faster than waiting in the lineup of cars. 🚌🚜🚓 🚕🚗 🚓🚕 🚗

10 mins later I come back to the 7eleven to find my car missing…aka towed by the rude owner of the 7eleven.

THEY TOWED MY CAR!!!! 😡😡😡😡
THIS COST ME ANOTHER $400 to get it out of the impound.

So I lost a total of $1100 of my $1500 to spend on steemit which was also all of my remaining money.

This is when I thought how could it get any worse… I take my last little bits keeping in mind that is today for me right now as I'm writing this. I’m not gonna lie it's really hard to put my life out there like this not know what people are gonna think but I can't be the only one that has struggled this much lately. I go to buy bitcoin and my Coinbase account is under review since I have not been active on it since setting it up.

I'm really at the end of my ropes with this system of things and I only have one choice that I can see and that is to steemit UP 😤 to get my life back on track. If anyone wants to talk about the power of the Blockchain and what it can be used for outside of Steemit and Bitcoin like the applications that will change the world leave me a comment and follow me. However, this works I want to hear from someone one out there that gets me.

So everyday maybe even multiple times a day I'm gonna write about what I'm doing and what I'm thinking and I promise I will never be anyone but me to you.
