A year in the Milestone(Happy Steemit Birthday to me)

in #steemit6 years ago (edited)

My Story

It all started as I got connected to a known true customer who now is a family and a true brother, @tj4real. He's been in the data business with me for a very long time and what made him so dear to me as a customer was the fact that he buys internet data from me most often and very frequent. There were times his purchase within the week looks so unreasonable that got me thinking about what exactly @tj4real uses data for. And for this reason,he had to be on a special package that was the discount that other customers never had.I could see the excited of @tj4real when offered special discount as his reward on the patronage of my data business.This obviously made him talked to a lot of people who needed internet data for their online work at a very affordable prices to look no further than to connect with me @mcsamm. Indeed one good turn they say deserves another.

One afternoon,@tj4real call came in and certainly I guessed he was short of data and needed one.I least expected he was going to introduce me to the light he's found.We then began with the usual convo of the available data packages which he usually purchase.This time he asked to be given a higher package and thats from 25gig to 50gig of internet data which we both knew this even wont take him to any farther and he's going to be back for more in no time.I then became curious to ask exactly what he does that isnt able to see him through the month with 25gig of airtel data.And here's where my future began. You could imagine how dubious this sounded to me just as it has always been with all these newbies that we sign up daily.This was normal though.

Sometimes you need not a proof to see the reality of something.There's no proff than getting things experienced yourself. I joined steemit June 2017 with the guidance of @tj4real which he possibly saw me through the basics of how to post,comment and fetch for myself enough attention on this platform. I proceeded with my introductory post and started getting connected with as many steemians as possible. Things never was easy especially when you pass by the post of many others to see their earnings.

The Miracle

There's no truer statement,nothing feels better than doing what you love doing best.My post earnings were really poor as I could see some of my post hitting 0.01SBD but the joy of working online and getting connected with people around the world was a great inspiration to keep doing what I have found..With motivation from @tj4real I kept doing more until he called me one saturday morning only to inform me to see my introductory post which was made some few days ago hitting over 1000SBD. To come clean,I expressed so much joy and excitement with the news he gave me but the truth was,I never even understood what it meant to have such reward on a post. It was really joyous when lots of comments were coming in from loved ones to congratulate me for this offer.Grace has now found me.
Except those who have been in this would be able to tell how exactly what it meant to me.I was surrounded with lots of qualms till @tj4real helped me to make my first withdrawal on steemit. That was when I believed dreams really do come true.You cant easily say this unless there's a secret.My life changing testimony began from this point and has followed till now.

The Good news

One of my mantra;Whenever grace speaks,connections and protocols are needless.You only need the grace of God always and this will surely get you directed to the right people. I want to believe there were many newbies that got signed up and made their intro post same day I did mine. But it was only the grace of God that got me connected with @thejohalfiles who made the big difference with his upvote. I will forever be grateful to @thejohalfiles for continually changing the lives of people including @tj4real @ackza @xpency and many other steemians. Everyones success obviously depends on someone else. The happiness has continued always getting me to the best people such as @nanzo-scoop @sweetsssj @chris4210 @testing123 @newhope @bue @alexis555 @bleepcoin @joythewanderer @fitat40 @polebird @dswigle @thinknzombie @mangos and many other notable steemians who have been the source of my progress.

The celebration

It is surely here and exciting.Maybe you need to join me say the good news about steemit
to the world always after knowing where I began from and where steemit has taken me to.
This is funny when I heard people say salary gives you the assurance that you have forgotten your dream.We need not to rely on salary but be on steem which gives everyone financial liberation.It is my biggest hope to have the steem ads on Digital billboards here in Ghana as I have started its arrangement already. Many thanks to @ackza and @surfyogi who have been so supportive in helping me to have this project a reality.
This moment right here is an absolute celebration of being a year old on steemit but most especially to announce to the world the progress of the milestone. And so I celebrate with everyone who has been a support to me which I cannot mention all.I write with so much gratitude and I am indeed grateful to all steemians for helping me get this far.

The various communities that have exposed me to steemit cant simply be forgotten on this very special ocassion most especially my family @SteemitGhana @SteemitAshanti and of course @wafrica. I say many thanks to all the leaders of TeamGhana @tj4real @kwakumax @collinz @anaman @richforever and other members @jeeandmee @odsam2 @steemgh @serwaa @kofpato ..I love you guys @prettyjules158 @lordjames @eunireal1 @omonosa @seyiodus @nairadaddy @samest @alimmudin @julietisrael @gee1 @sabirammed @chiama @jeanipearl @iamrifk @davidad and all those I cant mention. I celebrate this day with you and I hope to see this day brings to us many different growth in this milestone.

Very cool man, amazing how its been a wh0ole year! soon we will see steem pump as eos leads the new bull rally like ethereum did last year

here is some relevant info man about news tsory from a big bank institution, bank of international settylements

https://news.bitcoin.com/bis-gm-argues-new-cryptos-are-the-alchemy-of-the-age-of-innovation/

The Bank of International Settlements (BIS), a transnational institution owned by and comprised of central banks that seeks to “fosters international monetary and financial cooperation and serves as a bank for central banks,” recently published its quarterly review of “International banking and financial market developments” for June 2018. The report includes an op-ed written by BIS general manager Agustín Carstens that describes many cryptocurrencies as comprising “get-rich-quick schemes” that “should not be conflated with the sovereign currencies and established payment systems that have stood the test of time.”

.>The BIS general manager asserts that “With new cryptocurrencies proliferating, it’s as important to educate the public about good money as it is to build defences against fake news, online identity theft, and Twitter bots.”
“Conjuring up new cryptocurrencies is the latest chapter in a long story of attempts to invent new money, as fortune seekers have tried to make a quick buck,” Mr. Carstens continued. “It has become the alchemy of the age of innovation, with the promise of magically transforming everyday substances (electricity, in this case) into gold (or at least euros).”
Mr. Carstens states that “Currently, central banks around the world are working on systems for retail payments that will allow instant transfers, anytime and anywhere. They are also actively testing the distributed ledger technology underlying cryptocurrencies – not as a substitute for the current system, but to build on it.”
The BIS general manager concludes that “Even in this digital age, trust in the issuing institution matters and will continue to underpin currencies. Central banks, for their part, will have to continue earning that public trust by closely guarding their currency’s value.”
Mr. Carstens added that the BIS would be providing further elaboration regarding its opinions pertaining to cryptocurrency in a “special section” of its annual report on June 17th.

LOL its like he left a Cliff Hanger like he basically said "Wanna read more? Buy our Book/Anual Report" haha there you have it man! you can use that info to look very smart, you can show people that when you check the Bank of International Settlements Annual Report theyll have a whole special section just on crypto! :D

Its a great hope to see steem boom..like it never will. But things have been good so far.. It seems so happy to see steem building a better digital world for Africans.

Happy Steemit birthday, Charlie.

My post earnings were really poor as I could see some of my post hitting 0.01SBD but the joy of working online and getting connected with people around the world was a great inspiration to keep doing what I have found..With motivation from @tj4real I kept doing more ...
