Yesterday, I turned over a huge milestone in my virtual career on the STEEM blockchain. Reaching 100k STEEM was an unforgettable and exhilarating ride. But I gotta admit, the comments I received were every bit as great as getting to my personal goal. Too corny or fake? Am I just spouting bullshit? Well please, hear me out first...
Imagine buying a house. Or even passing an important exam. You get your result and feel on top of the world. You rush home in all your excitement, adrenaline pumping at the thought of sharing the news with... Hang on a second. There ain't no one at home! Nobody to ring, nobody to talk to, nobody but yourself to celebrate with. Kinda sucks, right? No, my point is you can't put a ceiling on how important the "social" aspect of any blockchain is. And we've got that covered nicely!
I've been striving to complete this goal of mine for three long years. Writing stories, blogging, reviewing, documenting. Everything that I can think of to get where I'm at right now. A culmination of many parts to achieve this small victory. So yeah, I was pretty stoked. But then when I posted about it, the fantastic comments I received added volumes of positivity to the way I felt, on top of that. I mean, it genuinely made my day so much better! That's powerful in itself. Hence I believe payouts and uplifting social interactions, are separate in that respect.
Both can bring huge quantities of happiness in similar ways. The question being whether they are independently exclusive of each other. Well, have you ever had inspired interactions of Facebook or Instagram in the past? Sure you have! And that's without a single cent being tossed anybody's way. Yeah, that powerful unique aspect intrinsic to bonding all of humanity, can get lost in the throes of the invention that is money. But yesterday, I could make a clear distinction between the two. When some people talk about all those that left or how shit or shallow this platform is, I see it pretty much the exact opposite. My experiences here seem to just get better and better, therefore willing me to "want" to stay here of my own accord. And I have no doubt, many other see t the same as I do too.
So if anything, I just wanna thank everyone who contributed in congratulating me on reaching 100k. I love this community and absolutely mean that. Strange that individuals can have such polar opposite experiences as I've read in the past and start hating it here. But not me. I've got nothing but great memories, awesome times and a bright future on the STEEM blockchain to look forward to. So bless each and every one of you for those amazing comments. Means a lot to me. The Steemit community? From my perspective, they're nothing but fantastic! Many, many thanks. Peace out, y'all...
