Never think of the money in the first place. Do what you love and the success will come by itself. Steemit is more than just money. It's a real world society where you need to be part of the whole. Posts like yours remind me over and over again what counts most: the right attitude and motivation.
Thanks for the words and especially for this : "then start spamming posts like a Nigerian prince selling Viagra when the price shoots up and cash out"
LOL
thats a really good attitude you have there
I post more when the price drops and give others a chance when it goes up
I don't really think my posts are worth what they get, so to balance it out I post once every 3 days or less when the price is high
I usually write mainstream satirical pieces
Not long ago (like 3 months before) steem was just 7 cents, those who have invested more and kept with the platform are looking back at those days as best investment ever.
Thank you for sharing information with us, excellent work, I would like to be great as you and I am working on it, follow me and I follow you
Right, money is something but its not everything. There are far more important in the platform than earning money, its the connection and relationship we have with steemians. Relationships are priceless which value has no volatility and will never drop.
Steemit is still an experiment that is "likely" being financed by some of the windfall Wall St has created for computerized pricing algorithms dictating current "values" of pretty much everything. If the $$$ misallocated to those who are financially backing this venture that is steemit dries up, it will likely then be only the price of STEEM itself as the final thread holding this experiment together. Unless Steemit can come up with an alternate way to sustain itself of course. Being the first social media site that pays you to spew doesn't mean squat if there is no $$$ to pay you with. :-) I simply take the attitude that I don't care if I get paid or not. I use steemit as a forum to log all my thoughts and theories (generally about markets) at one place.I don't ever expect to make $$$ by posting at steemit. Certainly not becuz the price of STEEM cryptocurrency has appreciated tremendously anyway.
