1st - I'd like to thank @BernieSanders the benevolent would be president (if Hillary wouldn't have stolen his nomination ð) for putting on #BernieBlackFriday!
2nd - I'd like to thank the SteemIt super hero and guardian angel @DJ123 for calling this #CircleJerk âïļ to my attention and critiquing my posts so constructively.
Thank you ð my SteemIan brother AGAIN for ALSO suggesting I change my tags to #BernieCyberMonday!
Which then brought me to @Steemed with his crazy #CircleJerkPileOn âïļ âïļ to add to the madnesss! ðĪŠ ð
When I finally decided to start researching bitcoin and blockchain technology and how it would financially behoove my family to start picking up on crypto currency well, quite naturally, the first place that I found was none other than SteemIt.com - which besides Bitcoin.com, CoinTelegraph.com & CoinDesk.com (which are incredibly informative) is THEE PLACE to get all of your info and education on crypto.
Although some on SteemIt may not like it, I must admit that I have also found some incredibly informative and educational articles through BitConnect's news section on their website Bitconnect.co/Bitcoin-News.
SteemIt has actually changed life in general by changing the way we network on social media kind of like how Tom changed the way we socialized and network PERIOD - by creating MySpace.
One could say that success on ANY social media platform largely depends on good content and good CURATION of good content, however, the difference between SteemIt and other networks like ð Twitter, InstaGram, FaceBook & YouTube ð (my links) is in the PAID ð° ðī ðĩ incentive to produce and CURATE content.
So now, not only have I the incentive to produce content and HOPE that I will make money by people watching my videos enough to justify #YT paying me ad revenue for it but, I potentially get PAID just to write a blog or take a pic ð· or to load a vid ðĨ to D-Tube or some music ðž to D-Sound interesting enough for a #whale ðģ ð (the gods of SteemIt) to applaud. ððð ð
Ok, so go crazy ðĪŠ dump a million dollars ðĩ ðĩ ðĩ into Steem #Power ðŠ and start blogging ðĻâðŧ like my life depends on it?!?!? ð ð
Not really, but we're ALREADY social networking anyways so the difference here is that, not only can you make good money from consistently posting and earning Steem âĻïļ as you go, but you ALSO have an economic incentive to critique and applaud, upvote, share and resteem others' posts because as you gain MORE followers and EARN more Steem by SOCIALIZING and NETWORKING (curating's the point) you are financially rewarded the more you Steem âĻïļ yourself and others - that's a win win for all!
It is the potential and ability to $ELF fund ð° (from scratch if you have to) a brand or an organization or a product's creation (crowdfund) or to fund a good CAUSE through socializing that makes this particular network built on a blockchain particularly interesting and enticing to learn about even if you're not into crypto yet, like my friend ð Ash Katch ð (link) a popular YouTuber and influencer who at least hinted at curiousity after I posted my SteemIt blog on ð Thanksgiving ð (link) and then posted a pic about it on #IG and sent it to her!
SteemIt has the power to change lives by incentivizing how we network and the reasons for it.
We need popular influencers like my friend ð Ashley Katchadourian ð (link) and eventually people in her personal network like #GaryVee ð Gary Vaynerchuk ð (link) on this platform, not only because it helps us grow in influence and gain popularity in the culture (that much is obvious) but what is ALSO just as obvious is that bringing these kinds of genuine souls and influencers onto SteemIt brings up the value of our Steem currency and THAT is where we ALL (eventually) want to be!
Concerning using SteemIt to crowdfund a cause, consider the Super Hero Music Project.

Special shout out to our SteemIan brother from Bangladesh @AzizBD I really âĪïļ what he's doing with his Steem âĻïļ power ðŠ ðŠ ðŠ to benefit the children of his local community - THAT is what it's all about! ððð
The ability to affect change and influence in your environment and $ELF FUND ðĩ ðĩ ð° the necessary resources needed for any particular endeavor is TRULY the essence of steem power âĻïļ ðŠ that is the TRUE potential and SOURCE of SteemIt's power.
I hope ALL of my friends join us here on SteemIt today! ð
I mean, just look ð at what the SteemIt gods ðĪī ðģ ð ðĪ have done for me while I was writing this! ððð
