The more I learn about this platform and the more I understand it's possibilities. Some of you may not have noticed but I've been buying up Steem this whole week, it could be interpreted as a crazy financial move, but my years of being a businessman have taught me to recognize opportunity and potential.
I for one have not found a platform that I could use with not only with the intention of investing but with the possibility of making a difference in the life of others. You may have noticed my VP is pretty low at the moment and that has simply been me going on an upvote rampage, the positive attitudes, the appreciate words and efforts that some Steem users put into their journey on Steem is inspiring to me.
I fully intend to continue to give back as much as I can to the community and have been approached by a few Steemians with some interesting ideas and initiatives we could start in the near future.
I enjoyed very much 
To me Steem makes sense because of it's application, many coins people buy and hold are simply speculative gambling tokens and it does not seem to be a long term strategy for anyone who takes their investments seriously. I've only been on this platform for a little over a month and have grown to understand it's huge potential, the possibility of taking over other social media websites in the not so distant future.
I feel grateful to have been invited to join Steem, and I'm feeling great about buying up many tokens this week and will continue to do so. I will however point out that some of the negative comments I've received seem to be of people that don't understand a key part of Steem or maybe cryptocurrencies in general.
That does not sound like a crazy thing to say, if this platform is thrive it needs to be one that attracts more investment to it. The worth of currencies worldwide even have much to do with the amount of people using them, but they balanced by the amount of investment coming into them too and Steem is no different.
To attack people because they are buying Steem and using it seems very irrational to me, and I'm saying this with respect as someone who does not understand the "logical" arguments against it.
I try to write inspiring things everyday as I find this to have been the fuel behind my career for my whole life, but today I'm writing in a more serious tone simply because this is an important thing everyone needs to know.
If every time things were not going my way I slowed down or stopped I would have never accomplished anything in my life. The lower payouts to me simply means It's time to elevate my level of involvement, and in my case specifically my investment on this platform.
From what I read from some posts on the subject I'm getting close to making this account a Dolphin. I fully intend to celebrate this small milestone with all of you My tribe of good intent because it has been you after all who have inspired me to continue sharing my stories and thoughts.
It's important to know as well that it's actually a terrible time to be selling your Steem, powering down on a bear market seems like a counterproductive move if you ask me.
Im finishing up the next chapter of the story...
It was a busy weekend for me at the Studio and it's been hard to sit down more than ten minutes at a time on my computer, but I'm not done telling the story and have plenty more to share...
Hope you see you on the next chapter...
Much Success, Regards
