RE: "Has anyone lost a tesseract?" - The Official STEEM EXCLUSIVE Stream Playback of the worlds first Blockchain Live Art Event
I am always amazed by what makes money on these platforms and what doesn't. Congrats to you... hope your live goes well, at 7 :)
Do you mean that in a negative way brother??
not at all --- I'm glad for him; I just wish more of us could literally post 'anything' and make as much money too.
It’s over now this is just the playback!! Man I worked really hard on this, Almost four months of grinding, not much sleep, not much time for eating all to promote and demonstrate the potential of this blockchain and platform to as many people as I could, the payout on this post is less about money for me at this point brother, it’s about exposure to show the community what I’m doing for them, my dedication etc I truly believe in this blockchain ideologically and I will do my best to help you on your journey as much as I can!
you're not understanding what I'm saying. Unfortunately like most people these days, you are just talking, about yourself and tuning out what's being said. Your post is nothing special... it's not. That art exhibit ... was nothing. I'm not hating on you at all ... YET you made over $200 --- for nothing; IT didn't take you months to figure that out bro; You figured that out in an afternoon. It's just crazy 'to me' that people on this site, and it's related sites, can make so much money for literally posting nothing. what does a chair do for anyone's life? Playing black music videos over a plastic see through screen?? How does that make money when people who share real information get no votes, no comments --- this has nothing to do with 'you' --- and everything to do with the Audience of this site.
but you won't understand; i think I typed too many words.
Now I’ll write too many words ;) . I do understand where your coming from. I am 19 year old from a working class background in the U.K. I discovered STEEM whilst I was recovering from double jaw surgery that I had to have or I would have no teeth by the time I was 30. I saw not the monetary potential of this site, that’s just to attract users, I’m talking about the real decentralised, and life changing opportunities this platform has to offer.
so I decided to use ALL of my meagre sick pay to buy steem back in January. I hear you that this post doesn’t perhaps deserve its payout but hear me out, and listen to what I’m saying too.
I just finished my pre degree art foundation. Now I don’t want to go to uni just yet or if atall, I had already decided to try my hardest to go full time steem and get the word out about this platform as much as I possibly could, now call me young and dumb but isn’t that worth something?
So I spent one month of learning the innings and out of steem, reading every single white paper I could find the papers stacked like the Himalayas in my room I can tell you that mate, then the next month building my reputation on steemit, using my little wages I earned at Tesco to buy sbd and steem to grow my account, missing bill payments and the like because once again- I was and am dedicated. Is that not worth exposure?
Listen brother, I knew that over 100 odd uncultured old people would be coming to this exhibition and I thought I would give them a real taste of what it’s like in the world, you should of seen the faces of some of these people who couldn’t say a damn thing because i was showing them the truth of what’s going on in america and that it’s not anything to be laughed away because “it’s not as bad as it is in the UK” (when it still is)
I did a social experiment that might too, I included a clip of a horrific white guy GTA nutcase who went on a rampage smashing into cars and stealing peoples cars the whole nine yards and I asked the bastards “did you even realise he was white” and I’ll tell you 1% of everyone there did that’s the state we’re in mate and I didn’t hold in my disgust to those that are ignorant of the reality of the world - I upset a lot of people that night (what I wanted) and I don’t care a single bit because of the support of the people that aren’t ignorant around me. It took a week to construct the box, months of experimentation with different software to get the music visuals and then even more so scrimping and saving to get the sbd together so that I could push this post. This is what this platform is all about having your voice heard in perhaps situations where noneone else will or won’t listen and your spot on that the system is a little skewiff but I cannot help that I can only use the position I have to help others which is my next step in the journey I having in here. For example I’ve spoken to an amazing man called @richforever who works on the @yensesa project a beautiful thing that finally has some recognition it deserves about making it easier for Ghanaians to get involved with crypto and ease poverty issues (there’s a lot more too it then that please check them out for me) but I am planning a big article that is giving light to the small guys and that’s all I can do at this point in time man. They’re the ones that deserve the big payouts but to help them and other projects grow I’ve gotta grow in terms of reputation and standing so that my voice is more trustworthy, because they’re are plenty of people on here for a quick buck, but not me
By this I mean that 99% of this posts payout is from smartsteem or bid bots now not that I like using this system but unfortunately I needed to get out the message I was trying to convey. So that means that 99% of this payout is the SBD which I’ve been saving up, put back into the system with minimal profit (in the range of $30-40, again another reason why I didn’t put my grade on the line for a post payout (Which I’m feeling because of the way the screen was flipped round so you couldn’t see the writing is why the messages didn’t come across)
I watched some of your TNG forever and actually liked it man and that’s what I mean the creativity this platform can bring out in people is crazy and I’m more than supportive just dm on insta or in the messages and I’ll be there I want to see us all shine man I know this was a little rambles but Too many people on here don’t reply to the comments and I got upset that you couldn’t see the true motive behind this post but if you don’t agree that’s 100% okay man but I will still be here if you ever need support ❤️❤️❤️ big love and seriously I liked the show
Thanks for the mention @blockchainyouth, I totally agree with both arguments. One thing we have to know is that Steem is an investment and community. Just like Facebook people will post anything and get likes for themselves, because of the friends and networks they have built over time and others are on there doing good things.
There are a lot more people on Steem doing great things than those who are not, which is fine and I think @blockchainyouth what you are doing is amazing. The more we promote Steem, the better it is for the blockchain and the community. @topnetworkeral I am sure if you put steem stickers on your car and drive around through town showing steem off to people and blog about it with the right tags you will make some money. Whales will vote for you because the more you promote steem the better it is for their investment.
@blockchainyouth, lets connect and talk more : look for @black-man on discord.
Sorry brother I went to sleep before reading this thank you so much for commenting you are truly changing the game as to what’s achievable and I can only hope to be a part of that I will hit you up ASAP 😊
Awesome...
sounds good yenesa ;)
i believe you; as I've been saying all this time, I swear I am not hating on 'you' -- I'm happy for 'you' --- not saying you do not deserve what you've made either; just to be clear ::::: also thank you for checking out some of what I've put up 'so far' -- really about to get going real soon.
I was simply commenting my amazement that a video like this --- could make that much money; and others on your channel --- lol I feel like I'm working too hard; Like I need to just show a Cat rolling around or something .... maybe a starfish on the beach would earn more money than actually talking about real life stuff.....
it was more of an outer thought process than an insult to you or what you're doing man; So not sure if that's come through or not; talking more about the audience on steemit and related platforms; than I am about the content creators -
and i swear/promise I am not hating; but what is this? Dude made over $200 showing a chair ?? .... I am working too hard.
