Information Bounty - Name one Steemain that everyone should follow and why - Paying 1 STEEM Per Qualified Response!
I'd like to build a list of epic users to follow. I think this will serve as a great tool for people in the community. I am willing to pay 1 STEEM per 'qualified response'. The details on what qualifies for payment are listed below.
- You can nominate anyone in the community (including yourself).
- The person should have a 'beyond average' blog. It really should be something special that adds unique value to the community. (Do not list someone because they need followers. List them because their content is epic.)
- Each user can only nominate one person (make it your best).
- Give a good description of what their blog is about and why people should follow them.
- If there are duplicates, whoever posted the user first will get the award.
- The bounty is open until the payout of this post closes.
- All payouts will be made within 24 hours of this post's closing.
Reminder to vote for witnesses!
The Steem witnesses are the elected leaders of the community that power the blockchain. Everybody should learn about the Steem witnesses and vote on who they think is best. If you don't know much about witnesses or aren't sure who to vote for, you can check out this Witness Voting Guide. If you think @timcliff is doing a great job, please consider voting for him as witness! You can vote for witnesses here: https://steemit.com/~witnesses
I nominate @tradeqwik, because it is an exchange like none other. It's the only exchange that blogs regularly. It accepts Steem and will accept SBD in the near future. It is attached to the VIVA project, which many Steemians are involved with. The account is operated by @wiser, who is another great person to follow.
Other great bloggers to follow are: @hanshotfirst for his sense of humour and generosity, and @lordvader for a great laugh and something unique to Steemit. :)
I concur this because I have its tokens. oops! did I just say that?
lol
I will like to nominate many people but some of them probably are in your list so i will nominate @jphenderson :) I think more people have to know him because of the Whaleshares project and all the help he give to others :)
It becomes difficult as so many great users have been suggested @timcliff - actually I thought one could only suggest one user? However one of the great Steemians here has posted a lot of the ones I would suggest too - let me know it is fine to focus on more than once finally?
My vote dos to the Dr. of Steemit - a master of psychology, cryptocurrency, photography and art. A guy that helps the community tremendously with his great written posts! He also always has a helping hand for newbies and people in need. So here comes my suggestion @thecryptofiend - who is also the creator of the probably best steemit help guide!
I would have suggested tons of others too but @cassidyandfranks already hit most of them in his great list lol - will add further names in a comment to this one if I may!
As outlined, the followings would also get my best votes and suggestions but i have to follow the rules - just wanted to give some sort of appreciation:
@surfermarly - hope she is back soon, one of the best writers here, always positive and simply a sunshine;
@ats-david - one of the few that THINKS how the community can be improved with great ideas, he is really a driver moving forward calling out existing problem - i appreciate that - and he not at all toxic :-);
@knircky - a great German living in America, always supportive for the community;
@twinner - he helps newbies be delegating power and introduces them to this platform, he guided me when i started on steemit together with
@felixxx another user that calls out issues, even we are not in agreement with a lot he should get mentioned!
@freiheit50 -the master of blockchain in the German community;
@kus-knee @surpassinggoogle @sumsum @afrog @lichtblick @dirkzett @pollux.one @shortcut @detlev - all brilliant creators and critical thinkers - could mention at least 250 more but - the rules, you know lol
I'd prefer if everyone just stuck to one person.
Me too @timcliff - therefore the second one was just an addition to @thecryptofiend nomination as most of them have been mentioned already - just wanted to show my appreciation to some others too - sorry for confusing
I nominate @kus-knee. He's a truely community maker, he likes to share! His blog has some relly good resources for newbies, and he has a lot of interesting post in various topics, with good question in the end so everyone is involved in his blog. He's around on steemit for more than a year now and he's happy to give a hand if you have questions or issues with steemit.
I would like to nominate @jerrybanfield. This guy is very knowledgeable about crypto currencies, produces regular informative content, he got into bitcoin before most, bought into dash when it was just a few dollars and now he is fully behind Steem, which he also knows a great deal about.
Jerry is the reason I am on Steemit after viewing a youtube video of his. He uses ALL the money he earns from his steem posts, which is thousands of dollars a day, to further promote the Steemit playform. He does this with Facebook adverts etc. So if you would like to see the steemit platform grow and go mainstreem then upvoting and spreading the word about this guy helps us all. His posts are well worth the many upvotes they receive, if you like to learn, follow this guy @jerrybanfield
I could not agree more!
I also would like to name @mrwalt.
@papa-pepper always has quality posts in my opinion. Well thought out and unique.
yup! couldnt remember how to spell his name whilst
This was a difficult decision because there are a lot of people to chose from, but since we are only allowed to vote for one person - it will be @timcliff His posts put the finger on the pulse of what is going on in and around the world. He is very helpful, always have an 'open-door policy', or shall I rather say: "An open blog steem policy!", for us struggling steemers who really work hard but do not get the full recognision for what we are putting in. Thank you very much for your support, it is appreciated!
Thanks!
I'd like to nominate giantbear he is an outstanding writer and consistently shares content that keeps a person's attention.
I nominate AustinAngler @austinsandersco His cryptocurrency posts along with his extensive background in stock and trading make for very informational and interesting posts. Love the mix of tech and common sense.

Crossing my fingers!!!
I'd nominate @lydon.sipe, who weaves sports, faith, culture and more into an entertaining blog.
