Whales of steem. How did you build your steemit empire?

in #steemit8 years ago

Do you have any tips on how new people should start. Can you become big without purchasing any steem? How long does it take? Do have a day job that does not involve steem or is it you full time job. Please share your story with us.

I worked for year fr bitshares community and awas beieved in the tech even when it was ignored. live off ramen noodle and created content for free for nearly 3 years. sometimes i even paid out of pocket!

so when i heard about this project i had to get in on it early...even though it could have been a waste of what little money i had if steem didnt get popular. but it turned out i was right. :)

@officialfuzzy Is persistence and time the key then?

I have to give all the whales and big dolphins credit. You guys paved the way. Without the early adapters, the minnows of today would have nowhere to swim.

Really cool to hear your back story @officialfuzzy! It is truly amazing what you early adopters accomplished. It is great to see your hard work paying off.
