Good morning dear friends, thank you very much for your time in reading my work, today I want to share with all of you Steemit and what he has done for me, this is my contribution to the call of our friend @ kus-knee. Testimonial Tuesday! Many people know my story, for those who do not, I tell them briefly.

I am from Corrientes Capital, a small city of one million inhabitants located in the northwest of Argentina, I am 49 years old, a year and a half ago that I publish every day on this very beautiful platform, I am connected more than 17 hours. a day, preparing, commenting, healing and interacting with people who visit my post daily, you could say that I live for Steemit, even when I sleep I dream that I am in steemit.

All my life I worked under a dependency relationship, three years ago I made the determination to give up my work to fulfill a dream.

!Live from the web!

I had heard many stories of people commenting on how their lives changed after working online, this caught my attention and I decided to venture, one morning I woke up, talked with my family and announced my retirement from work, all were left with their mouths open, They could not believe what they were hearing, more than thirty years saying that working in the supermarket was my life and my vocation.

My beginnings were very hard, as it is said in the jargon, I had to pay floor fees, work for companies that never paid me, faucet that they were a hoax, ptc that they only lost my time and mining platform that were a fraud, I barely started collecting cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin) when I took hundreds of dollars from them, they stole my wallet, if I had kept them today I would have a lot of money, at that moment the Bitcoin cost $ 200 Dollars, transferred to the $ 17,000 that arrived . Today would be a true fortune.

Not everything was bad in my online experience, I met many people, including an extraordinary being called Amaury Contreras, he invited me to participate in the best social network I have ever known, had it not been for him I would have never known this wonderful platform.

Steemit came at the precise moment, when I felt defeated and about to resign, this wonderful social network illuminated my life, I registered and began to hardly publish, I started publishing in English, I had not the faintest idea that it could be published in Spanish, were our great friends, Pablo @pcargo and Manuel (@gargon) who left a comment encouraging me to publish in Spanish.

There appears in scene @cervantes and his team, Manuel @gargon, Pablo @pgarcgo and @walden, these three people have made me a being who had no idea that existed, never in my life had published a post, I had neither the Less idea of ​​the basic rules, I did not know what a source was and much less that I had to mention the sources from where I got the information, I think I did everything wrong and what can not be done, I gave a great job to these three people , they got tired of placing flags, so many that in the end I gave them pity, I want to clarify that everything I did because of ignorance, never was in my doing or causing damage to this dear platform.

I must admit that I continue on the platform thanks to them, if they had not taught me how to manage on the platform, a long time ago I would not be here, the support of @cervantes was essential for me, both economically and morally, everything I am I owe to @cervantes.

I am very proud to be part of this Spanish speaking community, the great growth that the cervantes group has had me full of happiness, to see the video that was presented in the most important festival that our company has, I am moved to tears.

I am very grateful to have known this wonderful platform, harvest very good companions and friends, I learn daily from everyone, never in my life come to think that I could live telling the story of my childhood, the experience and advice of my grandfather, the legends of my ancestors, family photographs.

The Steemit effect is something unthinkable and extraordinary, get up in the morning, turn on the machine to see the comments and evolutions of the votes of your work, go for a walk with the camera in the neck, because you never know when you will find a beautiful photographs of flowers, buildings, trees, an old car, which will be used for your next post.

The addiction caused by the group @cervantes is magical, you are waiting all day for the group's publications. @ don.quijote, @goya, @velazquez, @ sancho.panza, @ simon.bolivar, @ frida.kahlo to see which of your friends or colleagues were mentioned in the posts, not to mention the joy and satisfaction that it causes to see your user name in the list, beyond the economic benefit, feel satisfaction for the work well done, that recognition strengthens and motivates to improve day by day.

Before knowing steemit, I would never have thought that something like it existed, a platform that completely catches you, that you are totally dependent on it, living and sleeping thinking about it, never in my life I thought that I would meet people from all over the world and interact with them, I have friends in every corner of the universe, diversity of languages, thanks to the google translator I can interact with them daily, traveling the world in one day is the best thing that could have happened to me.

Economically speaking steemit was very important in my life, can fulfill my dream of living my work on the web. The economic effect is very important, I am about to do a great work in my house, something that I had already given for lost, a very expensive work, more than $ 10,000 in expenses.

The passage of time deteriorates the roof of my home, every time I bring, there is more water inside than outside my house, with the savings I had in Steem Power, I am about to solve this big problem, having done Power Down gave me the great hope of the realization of this great work that saw it lost.

I had other plans with that money, I had assigned it to my retirement insurance, but other more important plans arose, I must admit that I could not continue living in this way, be aware of a storm, thinking about the consequences of them was no longer healthy for our family.

It would be very ungrateful for me not to do this recognition post, to this wonderful platform that gave me the opportunity to post my post, to my friends and supporters who support me with their votes, to the group of whales, orcas and dolphins that value and reward my effort, to each and every one of you, thank you very much.
