Hahaha. My neighbours did the exact same thing with the gardening.  Makes no sense :)

Congratulations @exyle!
Your post was mentioned in the [Steem Hit Parade](/hit-parade/@arcange/daily-hit-parade-20190725) in the following category:

* Pending payout - Ranked 7 with $ 51,12

That's a big bonus for steemians definitely steem has got everything to be the top pick of all the users

That is super exciting that a group like that would actually recognize Steem.  It is too bad that the mass public doesn't feel the same way...  yet!  I look forward to seeing where things are heading here.  It has been a great ride so far.

@exyle I definitely see where your coming from... now is the REAL time to be aquiring and building your Steem portfolio especially if you are vested in the project by blogging /vlogging or participating in the games.  For me the Steem community has shown me how I can flurish by not just be vested in to the tech, but use the tech and earn more tokens by providing some content that a lot of people are already participating in now.  Im now documenting my journey on all mediums even taking advantages of things such as share2steem.  The future of this platform  I only expect good and great things.  Until then lets strengthen the NETWORK.

It's nice to see a youtuber like datadash  (@nicholasmerten) joining the platform. At the same time, it seems to confirm the primary worry I have on how <a href="https://steemit.com/steemit/@costanza/did-steem-create-a-new-problem">Steem created a new problem</a> with all the dapps.

There seems to be literally no reason whatsoever to hold SP anymore as all the major upvotes seems to come from the dapps (threespeak, actifit, steemmonsters) while everyone is just leeching those without needing any SP whatsoever. Looking at the datadash wallet he seems to be using a service to directly convert the upvotes into liquid Steem paying a 1.5% fee for that having been on the platform for about a month. https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbYespTLdkGbSgqeoL1WfwC1o8mDweaXGZWSjLKUxS7fR/image.png

Many seem to be powering down because it doesn't really make much of a difference these days to have SP (Unless you really go all out on it). I'd love to power up some more myself reaching the 10k mark but I honestly don't see any point to it anymore. Would love to hear your view, for what reason would anyone want to power up on a platform that's just full of users that just want to leech the reward pool?

That's great man, I am also promoting steemit in my own way, like asking people from Instagram to join steemit, I tell them about benefits of this platform, and how great people are in this platform, many of them joined steemit and they bring great contents (arts/music) on this platform.
keep up the good work, you know If I had a big channel on youtube or twitter I would do the same thing, but unfortunately my other social media channels does not have much followers so I think it is even better if we find youtubers and others who have more number of people in their channels so if we ask them to promote steemit, it will work really good.

steemit will be top coin if there are many investors investing in steem. Also the stemian who have big SPs should never do powerdown, because that will cause market panic.

Communication is very important no matter how it comes, it helps give one an understanding of the platform and a way forward instead of speculating and reading false news.
I wish partiko can do the same, haven't heard anything from them for a long time now.

This post earned a total payout of 50.613$ and 38.055$ worth of author reward which was liquified using @likwid. [To learn more.](https://steemit.com/steem/@likwid/announcing-likwid-the-reward-liquifier)

I've marketed Steem on mainstream social media and made posts about those instances with links to my comments/posts/whatever outside of Steem. People have been upvoting those posts. I think it would help if some heavy hitters announced they were going to reward such marketing efforts if documented according to suitable guidelines.

Lots to like here. I've scrolled through my feed and opened 12 new tabs, all with interesting looking updates. This is only the first, so an exciting few hours ahead :) 

Thank you so much for participating in the Partiko Delegation Plan Round 1! We really appreciate your support! As part of the delegation benefits, we just gave you a 3.01% upvote! Together, let’s change the world!

Always a joy to hear some bullish news on Steem. Datadash are right about the potential of steem💯. Enjoy your day👍😁

Hello @exyle,

@actnearn does exactly that. It rewards all those who are promoting our sponsored content on outside channels. And it promotes Steem related content too.  Pls give it a try.
