My First day as a Steemit Superhero! I just passed 100 million vests! Leave a Comment! Upvotes for Everyone!

in #steemit8 years ago

lolololololol I can´t believe it, I finally made it to superhero after 943 posts over 2 months. The last part of the ride I had to boost myself as the price of Steem is dirt cheap right now so I bought some! :)

So how was my ride from zero to superhero?

I had written an article for Stakepool Magazine and had just posted it when someone told me that my article had been re-posted on steemit, so I clicked the link and saw that he had made $8 on it and realized that a lot of my original content had found its way to this platform and was making people rich on my work, so I had to protest and created this account to make sure that nobody but me makes money on me.

My first article made $0.21, and I had to identify myself

The second article made a better reward, Are you going to profit on the next big short made over $500 which is a fair price for such great insight and well written words - two months later we all made a lot of money, or should I say - Bitcoins when the S&P500 finally crashed from its all time high on Friday, so this weekend has been one of those worthy of celebrating.

I work as a Crypto-Fund manager in my day-job, I babysit a lot of bitcoins for a lot of people

If I am going to be completely honest with you - I am so tired of looking at charts and cannot wait to retire from this job in 2-3 years. Since joining Bitcoin in 2009 and been part of the crypto-scene for so long can make anyone burn out.

Trading is a very effective and secure way to make money year over year, but it requires my attention every day starting from 9AM London-Time to 4PM New-York Time while living in a completely different timezone, I have to wake up at 2AM my time - so you can imagine how little "life" I get to enjoy - but I can enjoy it later, I´m sure. Just one more trade, right?

If I can make 3-4 excellent trades per year, I´m happy.

So what have I learned on Steemit?

Well, when I joined everyone became so happy when the price pumped 2000% and there was joy and happiness everywhere. Since then most of the euphoria is gone because the price dropped down to what it is at now, and I have a feeling that a lot of people have become exhausted, burned out and also dollar-poor, specially the people who have been buying steem at much higher prices have had to see their investments vanish quickly in value.

Don´t give up - only quitters quit!

I´ve done a lot of different things on Steemit, I´ve made songs, puppet-shows, cartoons, articles, photography - not everything I made became front-page material, but some of the things I made did - and some of the things I did that costed me a lot of money barely broke even but all in all the experience on steemit has been so good that I will recommend it to other people outside of steemit. Of course.

We are almost 100,000 registered accounts now - competition is getting harder

I assume that soon enough someone far better then me will come out with a mind-blowing show, a funny song or something completely different - just like every other social media the attention will tilt in the direction of who can entertain most people from the masses. I am pretty sure we have seen nothing yet.

During my time on Steemit I have voted, commented, posted completely manually. At no point have I ever tried to game the system in any way, just focusing on creating as great content as possible, knowing that you would enjoy it every time.

The most expensive Post I made on Steemit only made 22 views

As a traffic-machine, Steemit is not much of one as of now. It really seems like the majority of votes and comments are non-human or non-readers or watchers. As an experiment I started writing and producing shows specially made for this platform, and even if they made great author-rewards and probably will make more views in the future, this video has only been seen by 22 people according to Youtube, so if you could watch it and write a comment about it would be nice :) Or maybe the video sucks.. Anyways :) I´m very happy to have made it to Superhero, I´ll try to be a great superhero - I have to buy a cape of course and a superhero outfit so I can sneak around at night doing good deeds in secret :)


Thank you all for being Awesome! Leave a comment below and I´ll upvote it! With Love from @fyrstikken & Family!

Congrats @fyrstikken

Am not a fan or videos or cartoons, and I'm sorry about that, hahas. But am a fan of your views and opinion on the stuffs that you post. I'm sure most of the community agrees with me, enjoy your new cape!

I have truly found value in some of your posts here. And that's what its all about; finding excellent content that you may never have found elsewhere.

Congrats on your success!

that is awesome, glad to hear that kenny-crane.
thank you so much for your kind words!

congrats! great work :)

Congrats fellow trader and steemian. I enjoyed the read.
I'm adding 'follow's with discretion and only have 50 as of now when I added you.
Thank you for the post.

Very wise words to Steem by! Congratulations on your big earnings. :)

Congratulations! I hope to be following you soon(er or later) to superhero status.

What is the chart you showed?

Cool, so 49 people have made a "real" income.

100 Million Super Steem Power. Awesome! LOL

nice you got my vote man :)

@fyrstikken. You are the best. We all love you.
Thanx for being here for us.

Since then most of the euphoria is gone because the price dropped down to what it is at now, and I have a feeling that a lot of people have become exhausted, burned out

Yup, only took me a couple months to burn out and go on vacation :P

It was kinda sad to see the atmosphere here so low lately, mainly cause of the price. People should know better by now never to look at the day-to-day price of steem and think of the long haul instead.

To me this feels like a blessing in disguise cause I get another opportunity to cheaply buy steem or get higher steem power rewards. :P

yeah, totally. Hopefully the mood will become better again once steem goes up in price and make people feel euphoric and giving in spirit again :)

Yeah, I'm sure the atmosphere will become a lot better automatically. =) Let's keep it nice until then!

Congrats! Do you trade your own money or is that part of a fund as well?

Oh an congrats on SuperHero! I am not even close to Hero level yet ;)

Muchas Felicidades, Me gusta mucho su estilo, Gracias por compartir este post

Congrats, Fyrstikken! Rhymes with Kentucky Fried Chicken!

hehehe, yeah that is true :)

Congratulations @fyrstikken. It's good to see you back to your normal self after all the bs that went on recently. To be honest I did enjoy watching the beef. I'm back to following you as I did before and I was pleased to see this post. Your journey on here inspires me to continue my own. Cool to hear more about your self too, I enjoy getting a sneak peak at how others live, it's motivational. And nice ride, she's a beaut! Hopefully Steemit helps speed up your retirement goals :)

Peace!

thank you @senseiteekay Yeah, not so fun with community-drama. Glad that is over with, Hopefully we can write a new and better chapter for the future and new happy songs when the price goes up again :)

Congrats man. Keep on steeming!

@naifaz, easy money here.

Congrats @fyrstikken I believe you have a lot of talent and while I do not always hold the same position on topics that arrise, I do believe you fill a humor niche :)

thank you @bendjmiller222 - I am sure we have a lot of things in common as well as things we disagree on :) Humor is where I find a neutral ground, not to stir up any trouble.

How could I not upvote that beard in the dog photo?

Congrats too on the 70 reputation. I know that one was hard fought :)

yeah, the last part was like climbing mount everest. But I made it :)
For a while there I was sure I would be downflagged to oblivion by some forces that went person to person and told the biggest players around here to stop supporting me and called me a psychopath among other things... Yes It was hard fought! But I started from the bottom, now I´m here :)

You may not be a legend on steemd's distribution chart yet, but you're already a legend in my heart.

awww <3 my heart, pump so hard <3

Congrats! You deserved it.

Really cool story from zero to millions Vests =)

Hell yea congrats man!!!

After reading this post I get the impression that your video Babysitting Bitcoins was based on a lot of personal experience. One of my favorite videos btw. ;-)
