can we get some ether rain here also? I like the lottery thing on youtube :) don't know if it's easy to implement here also, but it would be a nice to have!

Good to see ya here mate :)

Hi David,

I have watched couple of your videos on youtube and like your rational approach about cryptocurrency. I have worked in the financial markets for couple of years. Been involved with the pharmaceutical & Biotechnology Industry for 15+ years, I am a retail trader myself and can relate to your videos its not about easy money but intelligent investing. However history tends to repeat itself and people fall in the same trap time and again. 

I have upvoted you and following you. Your videos have been inspirational and I am going to share my knowledge and wisdom with the fellow steemit members to make this community great.

Thanks.

Regards
Anand

I have been a fan for months on youtube. I am now following you here. great job. You are one of the most sober posters on cryptos.

The smart media token?

I think its a good idea to switch over on steemit. 

How old is the bitshare video?

Still takes a lot a lot of time to earn here if you dont want to make videos

Loved this video.  Yes. Steem is a really nice concept without all the annoying ads. 

Love you content David.  Keep it coming.

hi david love your work keep on sharing info ibelive its the biggest power we all can use happy to see you here on steemit and good luck to us all. looking forowed to follow your contant here

Great video, personally I'm over mainstream social media and their advertising maximization model. 

Especially Facebook. 

They completely screwed over people who built up their fan pages over years only to make them pay to get their posts in front of the audience they built, paid for, and earned. 

Personally, I spent over $10K building up one of my FB pages only to get rewarded with 1-2% organic reach in 2017. I recently shut down all of my projects on their platform. I'm done supporting this company that thinks it's too big to fail.

You can still make good money and add value to all parties involved. They got way too greedy in my opinion.

Not to mention their customer service is the worst I've seen in a long time. They are notorious for shutting down accounts without providing any explanation or process to get in touch with them to figure out what's going on. I haven't had this happen to me, but I know of a handful of people this happened to. They send a boilerplate statement to the effect of this is their final decision without citing any details of your page or reasoning behind their decision.  I've heard FB enthusiasts say "you shouldn't be violating their rules in the first place" - to that response, I would say that I personally know people who are legitimate upstanding citizens/business people with Facebook accounts in good standing for several years and this has happened to them. These people lost thousands in revenue overnight without warning. This is good business? 

The point is if something of this nature happens there should be a way to sort it out on the customer service side of things since we provide 100% of Facebook's content, the very content people go to FB's newsfeed to see, which drives FB's ad revenue. Their 2015-2018 business model is "maximum ad revenue, minimum customer service."

Steemit is a breath of fresh air so far and I hope it doesn't get greedy like its social media predacesors.

Watched this on YouTube! Now I am here :)

Hi David, 
Great job!  Your content is really valuable and I'm glad someone like yourself voices your concerns about scams like Bitconnect.   

Now we know for sure this is your account!   LOL   There have been some high jackers in the past!

Awesome video mate. It’s great to see you on Steemit!!!

steem it the has the most transactions of any blockchain !!! says alot

Hey David, 
Just want to say thank you for all of your contribution to the cryptocurrnecy community. I been  following you on YouTube for a while now and I am glad to see you are moving your content over to steemit. Your one of my  top 3. love your work , love how you keep it real honest and laid back during the happy hour nice bro...keep doing your thing.

really i truly believed steemit will going to revolutionize the social media world...its a great business model for everybody.

Hey, have been following you on Youtube but just get to know that you are on Steemit. Immediately clicked on the "Follow" button :)

Great post and looking forward to more good content in the future.

always on point!

Facebook beware your time is near!

Your video pumped _Steem_ price! :D

Man, you can (_and should_) ask people to flag those guy posting your videos... I guarantee you will find support from whales here... Many people just take advantages of youtubers who does not post on steemit, dont let him!

Hey David
Good to know this is your legit page. Your caution against bitconnect saved me tonnes of money.

Thanks for introduce me to Steemit.. I follow you on both You tube and now here. :-)
Cheers  ...

That was a great overview! Between your content (and others), I'm going to start taking the time to post my own content. It's a lot to learn, but seems worth it in the long run.   Again, great content!

Glad to follow you here as well, check also my channel for more blockchain related videos.

Hey, just caught your podcast. Wanted to make you aware that if you come across someone posting your videos you can report it at https://steemcleaners.org/abuse-report/ and the steemcleaners can take care of it.

Obviously we can't delete the post but as you are the original creator and you are actually here posting material we can remove the rewards of anyone attempting to post your stuff :)

good video!!  But I wish steemit was easier to use, and I hope they keep making their software easier to use...  for example, I just tried to search for David Hay within the steemit site, but it google searched him and I could not find him within steemit. I kept trying and never could figure out how to simply search for a major player within steemit so that I can follow his page. I had to go to his youtube page and click his link from their.

Also, it is hard to see who has liked my comments and is very unclear. I have to take extra time to figure out who recently responded etc... Their is no notifications new messages or responses and they don't offer emails for notifications. 

Also, I own Steem in Bittrex, but when I click "wallet" inside my steem site, it is only for Bitcoin...? Surely their is a way to send it here, but it is just not simple and easy to use. 

I also don't know how to add a picture...?  I pasted my URL from a pic on facebook, but it is not working.  Are they going to make a phone app?

Their are a few other things... I just hope they make everything more simple on their site.

Hey @davidhay, you might want to add some clarifcation next time on how the payouts work. The 0.31 cent payout you referenced in the video is not actually paid in USD value, and its kinda complicated but worth exploring. 

How it works is, you get 75% of that pay-out, 25% goes to curators. Of the 75% you get paid 50% in SBD, and 50% in Steem. The Steem payment is made dollar for dollar, but the SBD's are paid out as if each SBD is worth $1.00 USD, which of course it is not currently. This ends up meaning payouts are significantly more than you might think. 

If you earn $100 on a video post. You get $75 pay out. Of that $75, 50% will be paid in SBD, so you will get 37.5 SBD, and $37.50 dollars worth of steem (or about 5.75 steem).

The steem ends up being worth $37.50 USD, but the SBD payout is currently worth $268.50 USD (37.5 SBD x $7.16 USD per SBD). 

I think its a bit more complicated than that, but that is how I understand it.

Also I saw this great video from another Steemian, he touches on Reputation, and Rewards on Steemit:
https://steemit.com/dtube/@brandonfrye/7cilbj7z

Wow, Bitshares at 0.004 USD?! Dang. #Missedtheboat.

Great video David. Hope more people start following you because I believe you have great value to add to Steemit.

Thanks for all the videos you do. I've been watching you for months on Youtube.

Reddit still great but not worth for making money 😂

Hey David, I wanted to thank you for turning me onto SteemIt. I've truly enjoyed your YouTube Channel, and look forward to learning more about Cryptocurrency Investing.

Random question for you... and would love a video on this if you have time.

What is your process for researching new Cryptocurrencies to invest in? Also, who do you enjoy learning from in the Cryptocurrency space?

Thanks again for your terrific content!

Just a sidenote: Steem needs to improve *a lot* to overcome Reddit in creativity. 

For example, there is no proper worldbuilding community here. Or a proper group of idunno, One Piece fans. Or Rimworld players.

These are examples for themes I love, but I'm yet to see a stable community around them on Steem.

man just dropped here after seeing your video, steem is the future of blockchain,and we all agree with that :)

excellent video and info. thanks for sharing this from a great guy.

You do giveaways on youtube... Are you palnning to do same here?

I find your talk on crypto coins very informative on youtube. I find a lot of other channels are more of a speculation, but it looks like you do a good research and provide information that is not usually on other channels.

Another thing I like is that you talk rather than speaking something off of the computer.

Is this the real David Hay?

STEEM inflation is 9.5% bro, no one would buy STEEM if it was 100%

I am a fan of you and your thought process. nice video sir
