Hello friends, welcome once again to my blog. For this occasion I come to talk to you about the craziest things that have happened to me since I registered on Steemit about 45 days ago, that is why I decided to make a Top 10 of the moments that shocked me the most, one way or another, either in a positive or negative way. Since it is a bit long, I decided to do it in 2 posts. Here we go…
Top 10 craziest things that have happened to me since I joined Steemit.
Number 10.
- I had an awful experience using the famous "Bots"...
This is probably the worst thing that has happened to me since I joined the platform. I had no idea what they were; I never imagined that you could send your SBD (Steem Dollars) to another user and that this will be responsible for voting my post (with a certain percentage, according to the investment). Since I was just beginning, I was curious to try them, after listening to another member of the community who had done the same.
I must say, I did not do it for the money... My intention by using the Bot was to position my publication in the trending section, this way I would get more to people to follow me on Steemit... I waited for hours until I found the perfect moment to send my SBD, you see the Roi varies depending on the number of people who invest in buying votes. After analyzing all this, I decided to take the risk and send all my SBD (3$ total) to a Bot called Booster.
Everything seemed to be going well, at that moment the currency was at about $5.47 (the total investment was $16.43), since the Roi was positive, the vote should be 3.24%, this would give me an approximate of $22.85, and not only that, it would be among the trending publications... That's what I thought, I had to wait almost 3 hours for the Bot to vote for my post, I was very anxious, when it finally did, it voted with a lower percentage than stipulated, with a 2.54% to be more exact, not just that, it was so low that I ended up losing 1.25 SBD! :( I could not believe it, I sent them a message to solve the problem and I did not get any response from them on there discord channel… I even sent them a private message but they didn’t answer... So I do not recommend them at all... The worst part was that other 2 members who also invested 3 SBD received their respective vote for 3.24% ... Both of them! So I do not know what happened to mine.
Here are the images of everything that happened.

First and last time I use the Bots... Comment below how was your experience; I would love to read them. Despite what happened we must never see things in a negative way, I have to admit, I learned a lot by using this bot.
Number 9.
- Steemit made me quit my job and I do not regret it.
For those who do not know, I had been working for 6 years in an important accounting firm here on Margarita Island, when @kimberlynv told me about Steemit I started to find out what it was about. I watched many videos of @jerrybanfield, until I decided to join the community and dedicate myself fully to the website. I knew that the ideal moment had come to leave my boring job and dedicate myself to something else. It was one of the best decisions I've made in life, I love being a part of Steemit...
Fight for your dreams.
Number 8.
- I have learned so many things.
Something wonderful that has given me the Steemit community is to learn new things, all kinds of topics, things I had no idea about... Before becoming a member, I did not know much about cryptocurrencies, today I can say I know a little more about this topic.
The information in Steemit is so diverse that you can find users who write about the topics that you are most passionate about. How cool this, right?
We can say that there is plenty of talent, either because you are a great writer, musician, blogger, influential person, artist, or any other talent you have....
A lot of talented people here on Steemit.
Number 7.
- My participation in competitions made by other Steemit users.
I have not participated in many competitions yet, but I must admit that it is something I like a lot... I have competed in only 2, one sponsored by @votovzla and one by @provenezuela. I did not win any of them, but I can say that I learned a lot from each one and not only that, I got many new followers. In the contest of @provenezuela I got a vote from @ausbitbank and @provenezuela (who selected my publication in one of their daily posts). Another 24 users of the great community of Steemit supported my post in the contest.
You can read the posts I used for each of the contests below:

Number 6.
- Participate in the Discord channels.
This is one of the best ways to get your work known and learn from others. That is why I always present one of my posts in the Discord of Whaleshares (every Friday at 10:00 pm - Venezuelan time), this event is sponsored by @officialfuzzy with host @chuckyfucky (to which I must thank for the good work they do). Not only do you expose your work, but you also spend a pleasant time with all the members of this Discord channel (recommended 100%).
One of the keys to success in Steemit is to interact with the other members, so you gain followers, it is not an easy or quick task, but little by little, you will see the results of your efforts.
