✴️ YOU MUST SUCK IF YOU&#x27;RE NOT A &quot;STEEM DOLPHIN&quot; YET! 😳

On a platform that doesnt pay, people will shell out money (and time) for advertising and networking. On steem, that money can be used to increase your stake while at the same time attracting bigger accounts.

Oh boy...This should ruffle some feathers.

For me, I learned SUPER early that no one was going to boost my account with upvotes unless I hustled myself and put some skin in the game. Without that, no one will even know your account exists...And it's still a battle to get noticed here.

But the opportunity is there! Especially at these prices.

There is no reason to change the thinking of the smaller accounts. It is the larger accounts and the Investors that need to understand why they are on steemit. I will be approaching 2 years on steem on Aug 1st. I did buy some steem monster cards when they came with steem as a bonus, that is the only money I have invested in steem. It is likely to be the only money I do invest here. I am not an investor.

I am fine with not being at dolphin status, I will get there. Your post has done a lot to re-inforce in me why I do not want to invest money in steem. I am here as a content user, a sometime content producer, and mostly just an individual sharing a few things with some like minded people. It will not affect me in the least if steem drops to 5 cents, I don't really care about the price.

I have nothing to lose other than the 100 dollars I "Quote" invested in Steem monster cards. My account is worth a whole whopping $400.00, who really cares. Go buy your votes for your content self vote for your earnings, and by all means tell more and more people about how they are pieces of shit for not having money, that should go over big, tell a few more people to go get jobs too,

Me I am not butt hurt at all, I have not lost any money at all in steem. I am not the one crying about the lack of content, about the lack of quality, about the lack of a good price for steem, I am not the one blaming others for the failure of steem. There are aspects of steem I don't like there are attitudes on steem I don't like, the aspects of steem I don't like during hardfork times I put my two cents worth, (or Less), of opinion in. The attitudes of people, who cares. rats are going to be rats and the faster this ship sinks the faster the rats will bail.

While I don't think the end-users are supposed to be the main investors, if we keep them here we could get some investment.

Many do hold even if they haven't bought.

However, I actually saw someone asking for people to pay their rent because prices are down. ;)

I don't pay people's rent.

I also don't upvote those who are clearly milking the system.

I don't mind commenters and content creators who are really trying getting some votes though.

It's a tough call.

A month ago I had 200 Steem, and honestly I powered down about 2000 SP to get my Splinterlands cards maxed out.. However, since then I have been battling to earn DEC and selling my season rewards cards for STEEM to power up.. I have 3 kids and am very tight on finances.. But with my DEC and Cards I am up from 200SP to 700SP in like 1 month..

Now I have been here since July 2016 and I would agree I WISH I had at least 5000SP, but before Steemit I was doing surveys to earn like .00001 Satoshi so it was an upgrade for me.. I have never been financially blessed and I don't earn much at my job. So for me 1000SP is a personal goal of mine hopefully by the end of Summer but after that I will be aiming for 5k!

Well I have been here more than a year and not being great at putting thoughts into words it is slow. I did give myself a birthday gift and bought and powered up 400SP, but as I am busy job hunting I will have to wait to invest more into STEEM.

@jongolson and @steemsavvy have been great at encouraging and engaging me in my journey here.

You did not make me mad, but I do prefer to read more positive uplifting posts.

I am 6x further ahead of where I expected so far, only time will tell.

I am 100% agree with this thought. I am buying steem starting of my journey at steemit.
But price of steem is disappointed me at this stage and also the behavior of different steemians, who make their own rules and regulation about posting and earning. This makes negative impact of new steemians.
Let see where it reaches.

Yes, you are absolutely true people are like they won't spend a single penny. I just invested my time and yet I am not professional. Investment is always risky without knowing. What and where you are investing without knowledge. Do you can say more than 5% people can understand precisely the block chain concept over the globe , even still big giants and govts have different opinion as regulatory issues. So peopl just seeing as side oppurtunity to work. in a year I earned only 50 steem. The people like me exists

Hi @stackin, I do agree with you people should invest in Steem!! I however never invested FIAT into Steem, but a lot of time, and yes, I have also reached dolphin status. I have powered down some Steem and invested the money into other altcoins and now have R64000 in altcoins at todays prices. ($1 = R14 ,I only invested R1000 FIAT into this account, the rest is from Steem and a bit of trading) The trading went quite well as I powered down around 4000 steem. I agree that people should not power down everything they earn, otherwise they will never grow!!
Thanks for a very nice post.

I hope many of you guys didn't get "Butt Hurt" and all "Emotional" reading all this. If you did, you probably know it's the truth thats why.

Naw, the shaming attempt was worthy of an upvote.

Guessing many here (myself included) might not worry so much about being a dolphin. For those that are, it might get significantly cheaper to buy ones way into that after the upcoming HF and Binance (probably) blocks Steem from being traded for US traders.

So true @stackin !! Nows the time to buy if you can afford to do so!! I used to be a Dolphin back in the day about 1 and 1/2 years ago with around 11,000 steem powered up untill I got laid off for over 7 months and had to power down most of it. I have slowly built it back up to around 900 steem but still need to power down just for doing stuff on steemit as I am now into early retirement and trying to build on our small country property with no money lol!! So for me its always been a struggle when the price drops to be able to take advantage of it. Best of luck to everyone and Buy Buy Buy!!! 😎🚀🐬🐬🐬🐬 #palnet #steemleo

Hello @stackin
Nice to meet you, I'm here for the publication of @elsiekjay
I have to give you a comment for the dcontest contest and it turns out that I have to read to you to be able to respond to it.
Although you sound a little hard. I think that from your point of view what you say is valid.
I turn on all the STEEM I get.
I live in a country where the minimum wage is approximately $ 4.
So I do not intend to work on anything.
Internet does not help and the light does not either, I do not have a telephone and, nevertheless, little by little I have been gathering my 190 STEEM.
I'm happy with that, it's more than the 16 I had when I started.
I am also happy that many people have helped me along the way.
I had an emergency these days and had to sell the 10 SBD I had collected throughout the year and I was able to buy an urgent medication.
I think it helped me when I needed it.
What do I do here?
I love!
When I have some internet, I read and comment content and vote, I give reSTEEM.
For that I want SP, so that my vote is worth a little more.
I have had two delegations that have helped me grow a little and my support for seven77 also paid off.
Well, I do not want to get drunk with my story, but this platform has kept me a bit away from depression and I do not have money for therapies, so I should be here where, in addition to downloading, I can get some Crypto and Savings as an investment.
So STEEM On!
Happy life!
