800 Followers!

in #steemit6 years ago

I just happened to look at my account, and realized wow! "I have 800 followers!

I know a good percentage of these followers are bots, and dead accounts, but many of you are not, and I want to say thank you for following, and supporting me.

My account is 143 days old today, created 2017-12-22 02:50:51.
My reputation is 53.6, and I am proud to say I have never received a flag from anyone since I have started. I don't even know how this is possible with the spam I have flagged.
I am account 517,733 created on Steemit.

I'm really proud of what I have achieved on Steemit. I am not a whale, I am not super popular, I am not the most intelligent individual on Steemit, or even close to it and I really have no specific theme that I stick to. I pretty much just blog about what ever is on my mind, run a few giveaways, and play some @spl poker on the side. I'm pleased with what I do here, and I am grateful to have made the connections I have made. You have all made a profound impact in my life. I'm thankful to have you. You're more than just Steemit friends to me. You have all contributed to saving my life. I mean this wholeheartedly. If any of you don't already know, I am a recovering alcoholic, and drug addict. I am currently living one of my longest periods of sobriety that I have ever experienced since my induction into addiction. I attribute one of my motivating factors to maintaining sobriety to be my relationships right here on Steemit. I would really hate to think of what would happen if I entered the blockchain inebriated, but I assure you all, it wouldn't be pretty, and I would embarrass myself. So thank you guys, for helping me do this, and supporting me along the way.

Steemit has changed my life.

I opted to not use any photo's (with the exception of my banner) because once in a while, I just like to write a good old piece of text, and keep it simple.

Thank you friends, for everything.

Much love,
@futuremind

well, I have been following for a while, I do not read everything but most of what passes by. I do not always have time to comment though.
I recently passed 1000 and it feels kind of hollow sometimes because of all the dead accounts and such but then once in a while you get some real comments and those are the nice ones. Just keep at it and don't look to much at the money

now to ruin all the emotions here I am going to throw in some spiel, lol
we just set up a witness and could use some votes because those are even harder to get then comments, lol
this link will get you there...

Kind of like your comment right here! I appreciate it @felander

nah you didn't ruin any emotions. I'm feeling the positive vibes here! I have some extra spots open for witnesses, and I just voted via the link. I am happy to give the support my friend.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by and drop me a comment :)

Woohoo 🙌 congratulations, let the bubbles fly 😁

Woot woot!! Thank you @vee2180

You rock!!

Glad to see your excitement with this achievement! You must always have goals and these are great accomplishments to obtain on steemit. Being sober in America... Really hard when your surrounded by addicts. God knows sugar was forced fed on me!

Thank you @dynamicgreentk

I'm pretty proud of what I have accomplished with Steemit :)

Very true about being surrounded by addicts. There isn't a place I've lived in this country that isn't overflowing with addiction. The scale of the problem is quite underplayed IMO, and I find it to be sad, as it becomes worse.

You were force fed sugar too? Well, I'm not so sure I was force fed sugar, but I have extensive memories of cool aide man being ingrained into my subliminal consciousness with all those awesome commercials of him bursting through the walls. Needless to say...I drank a ton of cool aide.

Thanks for stopping by friend :)

I am your 801 no. follower...Thanks for your valuable post...

Thank you for following!

Looks like it's party time, yaayy!!! Congratulations! 🎉
I got three downvotes from a spammers I dared to downvote :)

Haha yeah where's the confetti!!! lol

I think I remember you writing a post about it at one point. Like a week ago or so?

I hope the spammer has left you alone since. This is certainly a risk associated with fighting spam. Ever so often, they will retaliate. I suppose I have just been lucky in this aspect.

Thanks for stopping by! rolls out the keg :p

I reported the incident but got no reply, so I have no idea if the downvotes were deleted or not. Turns out that the account was hacked and the hacker made a lot of harm. It happens often, unfortunately.

Yes, this does happen often. It's unfortunate. I hope you don't have to deal with this again in the future. Spammers sure put a damper on this place.

Sometimes I feel the need to write about it but no one cares.

futuremind cares. hugs :)

😘 then I will post about it! Thanks! 😊

Congrats mate @futuremind i totally agree with you 96% of them dead followers or bots .. i got 300+ followers but only 2 of them active followers rest just dummies.. lol

Thank you friend! Yes that aspect is a bit daunting at times, but I truly believe steemit is going to gain popularity, based on the fact that the 4th wave of the internet (blockchain technology) is being slowly adopted into mainstream.

If we maintain being active, I have no doubt, we will be in an excellent position during this upcoming boom.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

Congratulations, futuremind! What an astounding growth from the day you start till now! Upvoted!

Thank you my friend. It's always a pleasure to see you!

Hey that is great growth, man.

Thank you my friend!

Congratulations @futuremind for getting 800 followers.
