February 10 2019 - freewrite - Some thoughts after reading a post - Will you be seen here in the future ?

@tarazkp wrote a post Fires-of-confusion that I just read and what jumped out at me was

If Steem price is 20 dollars and there is 10 million users, will you be seen?

My comment was ;

I was not seen when steem was at $5 . I don’t know what steem will be like at $20
We get back to the 2 basics items. Powering up and engaging. The bedrock of this platform. Hopefully that will keep one from becoming invisible.

The post brought up many ideas. I suggest you read the post for full thought instead of my takeaway.

We would talk abou the following items here. Not so much anymore. Maybe because of the price of Steem. There are fundamental to steem and the platform. Let us not forget them.

Foundation
Building a foundation is one of the most important things here that you have to do For sustainability. It takes time in order for this to happen. It is a slow process. Your following list is not a good indicator of your following for many reasons. Build your foundation. This is a social media platform

Authenticity
Be yourself. Do not try and be something you are not. To include your opinion. Over time all things come out. Everything you do is visible to all.

Engagement
This is the single most important thing you can do. Talk to people. Get to know them. Who, where and what they are. It’s the only way to be personnel. Respect goes a long way. It’s about building friendships. Enjoy who you talk to and what you are doing here.

power up
In order to provide any type assistance you have to have SP. The more the better. Your voting and influence is directly related to it. It also shows your commitment to the platform.

This is like I said a social media platform that everything you do is available for anyone to see. Have fun and enjoy what you are doing. It’s not about the money. Although that is a possibility. A possibility to change lives for the better. We don’t know what the future will bring. Help others grow. Giving is the hidden gem here if you have not figured that out yet. If you haven’t maybe FB is a better fit for you.

I am not worrying about the future of steem. I am just going to enjoy and have fun today and every day after that. I will power up as often as I can by fiat and earnings. If I loose all my investment in steem, that’s OK I have done worse in the stock market before the big up turn in the past couple years.

I enjoy the engagement that I have here. That’s what keeps me going. It gives me joy and put a smile on my face. I hope it does the same for you.

Will you be seen here in the future ?
