Vlog 406: Why I never powered down in nearly 3 years.

exyle in #dtube • 6 years ago (edited)

Yesterday I had a nice conversation with @themonetaryfew and he warned me about my emotional investing in Steem.

These things usually don't go together and he is right. Emotions and investing don't mix.

One of the subjects that came up is that I should have powered down in the past.

I gave it some thought and answered him but this morning I also felt it would make a nice topic for a vlog and explain my reasoning.

I'm currently a buyer of Steem and believe in this blockchain more than ever before.

I talk about this and many other things in one of the longest vlogs I ever made.

Hello Mark, I have listened to your vlog and because I know you a little better than most other Steemians, I know that what you say is real and that you are completely yourself. I also know that vlogging on the Steem blockchain has done you a lot of good. You dare to do things that you thought you could never do. And now that you do them, you became a very good vlogger. You may look a little more into the camera, at us, your listeners, but your story is consistent and well worth listening to.
I stopped writing (for now that is), but just like you, I never powered down because I believe, just like you, that Steem and especially the Steem blockchain is there to stay. Love mom

I sure hope you know me better :). Haha, vlogging sure did me good. I try to look more into the camera but I realized when I do that I can't think and lose my train of thoughts. I have accepted this is my style of vlogging. I also have never used a script.

I hope you start blogging again one day when you have more time. Thanks for the positive spirit!

I had a laugh here sitting at the table watching you tell me about being social akward, well that akwardness is highly appreciated, and you cant please everyone and people Will always have different views. For you and later for me Steemit became a habit, an addiction if you want, but also a library off life which Will always be there. Nobody knows what the future of socials and blockchains Will bring but i dont want to be the one who is saying HAD I , or I WISH I JOINED!: i joined and i am in 100%, still a noob in alot of steem aspects but i mean well and that cirlejerk commentary and people on accounts telling you its unfair and not done is just bull, what would they have done in your shoes? APPICS is a great addition and looks great so for a fast blog in between blogs and other content i think i can not do without. So i wont!

Last thing the grey hair is something i worry about, maybe i should prepare for that moment to come, its the most shocking vlog info i got untill now so when i do leave this beloved steemisfere you know where ill be😉

Thank you so much for sharing this. I think more people new to steem should hear this message.
It is straight from the heart and you have been one of the people that I followed from the start because you could see the person behind your posts.
Really appreciate what you have done and are doing for the blockchain.

To those that don't understand, I want to pay extra attention to the fact that you also decided to post in English, which isn't always common practice for Dutch natives on Social Media. Whether it's Twitter, Facebook, Youtube. Most of the time creators stay in their comfort zone and create in their native language, which you didn't and now you are benefiting from a broader audience. A lot of steemians who post in other languages than English can also learn from that.
