lolololololol I can´t believe it, I finally made it to superhero after 943 posts over 2 months. The last part of the ride I had to boost myself as the price of Steem is dirt cheap right now so I bought some! :)


So how was my ride from zero to superhero?

I had written an article for Stakepool Magazine and had just posted it when someone told me that my article had been re-posted on steemit, so I clicked the link and saw that he had made $8 on it and realized that a lot of my original content had found its way to this platform and was making people rich on my work, so I had to protest and created this account to make sure that nobody but me makes money on me.
My first article made $0.21, and I had to identify myself

The second article made a better reward, Are you going to profit on the next big short made over $500 which is a fair price for such great insight and well written words - two months later we all made a lot of money, or should I say - Bitcoins when the S&P500 finally crashed from its all time high on Friday, so this weekend has been one of those worthy of celebrating.
I work as a Crypto-Fund manager in my day-job, I babysit a lot of bitcoins for a lot of people

If I am going to be completely honest with you - I am so tired of looking at charts and cannot wait to retire from this job in 2-3 years. Since joining Bitcoin in 2009 and been part of the crypto-scene for so long can make anyone burn out.
Trading is a very effective and secure way to make money year over year, but it requires my attention every day starting from 9AM London-Time to 4PM New-York Time while living in a completely different timezone, I have to wake up at 2AM my time - so you can imagine how little "life" I get to enjoy - but I can enjoy it later, I´m sure. Just one more trade, right?
If I can make 3-4 excellent trades per year, I´m happy.
So what have I learned on Steemit?

Well, when I joined everyone became so happy when the price pumped 2000% and there was joy and happiness everywhere. Since then most of the euphoria is gone because the price dropped down to what it is at now, and I have a feeling that a lot of people have become exhausted, burned out and also dollar-poor, specially the people who have been buying steem at much higher prices have had to see their investments vanish quickly in value.
Don´t give up - only quitters quit!

I´ve done a lot of different things on Steemit, I´ve made songs, puppet-shows, cartoons, articles, photography - not everything I made became front-page material, but some of the things I made did - and some of the things I did that costed me a lot of money barely broke even but all in all the experience on steemit has been so good that I will recommend it to other people outside of steemit. Of course.
We are almost 100,000 registered accounts now - competition is getting harder

I assume that soon enough someone far better then me will come out with a mind-blowing show, a funny song or something completely different - just like every other social media the attention will tilt in the direction of who can entertain most people from the masses. I am pretty sure we have seen nothing yet.
During my time on Steemit I have voted, commented, posted completely manually. At no point have I ever tried to game the system in any way, just focusing on creating as great content as possible, knowing that you would enjoy it every time.

The most expensive Post I made on Steemit only made 22 views
As a traffic-machine, Steemit is not much of one as of now. It really seems like the majority of votes and comments are non-human or non-readers or watchers. As an experiment I started writing and producing shows specially made for this platform, and even if they made great author-rewards and probably will make more views in the future, this video has only been seen by 22 people according to Youtube, so if you could watch it and write a comment about it would be nice :) Or maybe the video sucks.. Anyways :) I´m very happy to have made it to Superhero, I´ll try to be a great superhero - I have to buy a cape of course and a superhero outfit so I can sneak around at night doing good deeds in secret :)
