When I Was Asked "Do You See Steem/Steemit Succeeding?" And I Asked Back; "Isn't Steemit Already "A Success"?". Check Again. Look Intently!

in #steemit7 years ago

A new concept is falling in place to execute this below: 

"True celebrity-hood" once and for all, for "everyone"

It will begin unfolding gradually in the next few days and it carries excitement and tons of awesomeness. There will be beautiful testimonies. 

No more worries, for together we will fix many worries.
No worries, we are still on track because the entire curriculum has been "one" and the same.
The more recent "ULOGS" has simply been a part of one entire curriculum!

Note: i stood up morning from bed and decided to do a quick walk and i ended up doing this video, talking about ULOGS:


Please digest this post and this post and like me, join in and become a Ulogger today. Become "true celebrities" and "true fans" of #ulog.

I love steem

It networks humans in special ways

It sheds the "the nations" in us a bit, making nations "mere locations" and i tell you, "a full-blown human (in whose case, "nations were locations") is a special breed "human". 

Hahaha, don't worry, i really love steem/steemit because "you" are here and i am yours; "your boy Terry".

Thus, everything i do e.g here on steemit, even the tiny words i pop, have paradigms related to "steem growth and the application of steem/steemit, in relation to "adjusting the world" (attaining the awesomest version of humans)". 

The recent ULOGS is simply another means to mine more of "the human". 

The thing is, when you apply the technology as a means to enhance the human, then the technology itself will attain "towards perfection". 

We touched on this recently during the recent talk on the SteemGigs discord, in my response to the question; "do i see steem succeeding?". 

The steemian who posed the question, has observed that it has becoming harder "earning-wise", than used to be the case months ago and he wanted to hear my thoughts. 

He spoke of curation and of how even curation towards steemit posts has grown scarce etc 

I tackled the questions in two parts. For one, i reversed the questions just a bit, asking instead; "hasn't steemit already succeeded?" 

It my case, "it has", starting almost the very day i spotted it 
and looking back now, so yes; "the very day, i found and decided to join steemit".

Yes, from day one, steemit was a success in my case and i truly believe steemit is already a "success" (even now) in many of our cases, if we simply looked more intently. 

While i covered history and all and how much steemit has evolved from where it used to be, I highlighted that, even from "day one", when steemit was way harder to use than now and way harder to earn rewards on too, steemit was a success then and in a ton of ways.

Just finding it alone was "breakthrough", because hahaha, i may not have found it at all or i may have found it and not looked at it twice because the internet has played me many times etc. 

Yes, to find steemit, i was in research-mode for a decade and among what i was researching, was for "an enabling environment" to keep my dreams alive on in dream-bits and rehearse them into fruition and an "enabling environment", when i arrive on here, was steemit.

I spotted the spottables very quickly. (Note: i was in research-mode and i didn't join steemit the first time. I found it organically again and this time connected with the author and decided to join then.)

My first donation was around 5 steem from @sykochica! Then, i put up certain ideas related to my dreams, using my post to play them out and i got "hundreds of steem" combined from @benjojo and @papa-pepper and where does that ever happen in the entire world, "among strangers" on the entire web? 

These days, people don't even lose money. Have you walked your streets lately, hoping to see 50 cents on the street somewhere? "Years ago, you may find; "these days" you will sweat out a bucket to find".

Back to the internet space! 

My first email to the Mark Zuckerberg Facebook account and my Facebook account got deleted and never recovered and their reason was not "disclosable". 

That was Mark practically throwing a berg at me, zuck-ing "life" out of the "life it took to me to dream". 
Hahaha, where i am from, "dream" alone and you see should deserve lorry-loads of accolades. 

Then, simply try contact people (on Facebook) from other IP locations e.g strangers, perhaps, to share your dreams and your Facebook account can get suspended. 

Then, turn to Twitter DMs and almost every message is an auto-responder, to where you are almost always "simply another marketable-to client". 

@papa-pepper @sykochica @benjojo where practically "strangers" but for once and for the first time "in my more than a decade on the internet", these strangers were "humans"

The irony and especial genius is: this was happening on a blockchain, where there was a "privacy" paradigm. 

Hahaha, steemit was a success to me from day one.....

Then, i jumped on steemspeak on discord at the time and CEO(s) filled the place, 24/7! Hahaha, can't dreams now happen so? 

Visit the entire internet and seek a mentor or a place filled with CEOs, "free" and tell me if you find one. Ned used to hangout on those discords

Or gather Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates in a room and do a hangout.

Well, i didn't hangout on steemspeak for too long, for in a short span of time, i spotted the spottables but much of this "spotting" happened fast because of my "life before steemit"; 

and "life before steemit" is still one of the basics that i teach till date, when it comes to "steemit success".

Once, i jumped on steemspeak to try to affirm one of my early conclusions and it had something to do with SEO, (upon my finding out that steemit hung on decentralized servers) etc 

At the time, i also wanted to figure out, steemit's own content-distribution algorithm, to figure out if IP location was a factor. 

I didn't get an affirmative answer but i easily saw the answers. I had an audience from every nation here on steemit. 

Prior to steemit, even to do a simple blogspot post like, "Hey Obama, listen to my wailing", with aims of reaching perhaps, the USA audience, i would have to have worried about how to beat IP location barrier (SEO- related), to the point of, even sending my content to friends in USA, so that they could help me upload it from there as i perceived that the search engines were beginning to detect VPN. 

Over time, i would have my friend open the Gmail tied to the blogspot from USA, altogether

Hahaha, a young boy made some 40 million USD selling a digital product (related to SEO) on Clickbank, at 40 USD a copy. I had bought it then, thinking it was some genius software, only to find out it was a bunch of PDF(s) and Adwords-related videos. (Notice that, he easily had a million customers; showing you that, something that steemit offers for free, is hotcake "in money", out there)

You see, very early on steemit, i recognized much of these steemit's beauty e.g i was realizing that steemit posts were ranking in the search engines (and perhaps, distributed servers aids that etc); plus, recall that i found steemit organically, via the search engines. 

Being new on steemit and not entire landed, i had found Akasha and YOURS (other blogging-based platforms tied to cryptocurrency) etc and i had tried to see what they offer but again "steemit" was easily-spottable by me and established "success".

The CEO and CTO of YOURS had several google hangouts with me. I didn't proceed with their vision, because i could easily see, where "steemit" was. Then on Akasha, i would have had to download like an entire blockchain or so and i didn't see signs that its content was ranking in the search engines etc and ofcourse, you have needed to pay gas for each transaction. 

By various dimensions, "steemit" was "success" to me, from day one!

Then gosh, i saw that there was "steem" too and its beauty blew up instantly and i could see! I didn't read whitepapers because the whitepaper can't even cover this beauty. 

Like i keep saying "serve the search engines" and steem was simply genius by taking up this model (even with its promotion) 

Note; i was a product of "find steemit organically using the search engines" and according to me, though slow, it is the most solid form of promotion. So keep on steeming!!!

Then, there was a contest, that was trying to propose new slogans for steemit and my slogan entries came from entirely different dimensions. Yes, as early as my minnow days, one of my proposed slogan had to do with "re-shaping the "entire internet" by serving the search engines, till there is a steemit blog for each search query. 

Then, so ofcourse, i had seen steemit as something different and away from the entire internet; "a home away, from the rest of the internet; then i started a tag called "steemitisbeautiful" and my first channel on steem.chat was created by @firepower and it was called:

SteemitIsBeautiful

Well, i won't say too much more about this, within this post. I covered this and more in the last talk on the discord and this post is simply out here, to give you glimpses of my thoughts about steemit and of it being beautiful, since day one, when steemit as a UI was with bugs etc

Plus, had lows of 7 cents

"And what if it has flaws now?", one may want to say! Then my next question will be; "are humans without flaws?" or "isn't steem hosting humans?"; hahaha, isn't any tech or blockchain-based social platform you see out there going to host humans too? 

Besides that though, even if steem has the flaws now, like one may want to say, it has done me one or more good and i tell you, "it has done you too!" Now, do i hastily forget this good, in the face of flaws?

e.g 

some may have got to know about the world of digital currency, for the very first time, through steemit. Isn't that one ginormous good, if you ended up finding a career in technical analysis?
If you met @sykochica on steemit and she checks on you everyday, isn't that one good?
If you learned about how an impending bitcoin fork, upon reading a steemit post and you got some free bitcoin cash as a result, wasn't that one good?
If you have spent a decade on the internet and have uploaded 100 videos on YOUTUBE even with its monetization model and you have not held 5 cents from it in your hands but you have now held your very first online-earning on hand, however small (by means of steemit), tasting that it is indeed possible to earn online etc; isn't that one good?

Now, if steemit has done at least one good, even if just once, within your steemit career; can't it be said to have been a success?

In my case, it so can!

If it is develops flaws now or in the future, can't it still be said to have been a "success", by virtue of the one good that it has done you?

In my case, even with humans, "i don't hastily forget all your past good because you did me bad".

Hahaha and you know what, on steem and steemit, i don't see flaws, because i sift flaws to find use for good. 

Basically, i see exciting challenges and i see how beautiful humans can be, when they combine to take challenges up etc

Moreso, we have a say as stakeholders of steem. If decide to take "steem" to the moon (with conviction), "steem will go to the moon".

Don't let the uncertainties of the future deter you from dreaming altogether. Dream first, evolve your dream into spanless-ness, then re-shape that future and i tell you; "with steem, "dreams are equaller reality"". 

Look more intently.

Your Boy Terry

My testimony: Thank you @samal who helped me with 5steem to startup on steemit through #steemconnect.com, and he has also put me through a few things..

Much love to you brother.

@joanhay, here is the meaning of @surpassinggoogle is a steemit witness with witness name "steemgigs". He is the human face behind @steemgigs, @teardrops @ulogs @steemsecrets. He is committed to helping everyone in the STEEM blocjkchain. Soon, he will become a household name wherever IT gadgets are found because @surpassinggoogle will surpass google.

Brief but precise!
Thanks you @uyobong.

Welcome to the Steemit world @joanhay
This is a good start to be introduced to @surpassinggoogle.
Way to go @samal for referring another human in Steemit.

Hehe.. salamat partner🤗.
You're Phillipino, right? How's Phillipines today?
You just gave me warm welcome dear sn0white..😍

You're very much welcome. Yes, I'm a Filipino.
Philippines is fine.

Hey, be calm...haha, you will get to know more about Terry gradually.

Read about ulog here: https://steemit.com/ulog/@surpassinggoogle/ulog-2-more-than-800-ulogs-have-been-created-since-the-birth-of-ulogs-less-than-two-days-ago-let-s-discuss-this-and-more-on-the
Ulogger banner? I'd like to get one too.

My dear @samal, you always have being good.
Thanks for the insight!
Much love to you..😘

I am glad and proud to be a Steemian and a Ulogger as well. 💕💕💕

You just strengthened me with your words @diosarich.☺️

Well, I will forgive anyone who isn't on steemit and is asking if steemit would succeed but won't forgive anyone who has tasted the wonders of steemit, been here for a while and still asks, would steemit succeed. I love the answer you gave them, it was just the perfect answer to a question like that. Steemit has and is changing lives and will continue to change lives. A lot of modifications have been made since it's inception. Modifications that is geared towards making steemit last for as long as one can ever imagine.

Talking about ulogs, inam still yet to make my first ulog. I have seen a lot of beautiful ulogs but I havnt just quite had the time to do mine and I am not happy about it. I have to give myself the task of making this come through today and surely will. Thanks for the ulog initiative @surpassinggoogle.

No ulog yet sir? Ahhh, i hope you can find time. We will be waiting for you to finally be the "celebrity", and us your "fans".

Verrrry onpoint. Your ULOGGING is bound to happen. There is something special for ULOGGERS, it is unfolding

I am glad I am able to witness the success of Steemit. I guess it would be safe to say that you, sir Terry among other "celebrities", i.e. Uloggers have contributed and is continuing to contribute to this success.

I am glad and proud to be an Ulogger. Let us touch the stars!

Hahaha very sweet. Thank you for awesomeness

Aw! I guess your very own awesomeness impressed much on me. Salamat sir Terry!

STEEM is a brilliant innovation wherein social-media users are rewarded with STEEM tokens for actively participating in Steemit . Liking, Commenting and Writing quality content apparently earns you steem dollars.

Given how the world needs quality information from as many verifiable sources as possible and social media sites are trending towards enforcing quality, there’s no doubt that steemit will grow popular over the years.

However, people quitting their jobs for the sake of generating quality content on the internet is still a bit far-fetched. STEEM is bound to take off once this starts happening.

True celebrity-hood, I can't wait for it to shower fully.
Sir Terry, not just is Steemit a success? But you have really made Steemit a success.
@ulog daily post has give me a reason to smile and appreciate Steemit more.
God bless your creativity @surpassinggoogle
God bless @steemit
God bless your mum to whom you have dedicated all to.
I will surely be part of the next talk show as I have joined steemgigs discord server using your invite link.

Special comment. Thank you

You are the boss sir.
Thank you too.

Yes it is, he is right. Your #ulog idea has made my day. Now I always have something to write on my blog. As a new comer, I was at first feeling bored on Steemit. People used to write all about blockchain, crypto, and other hard topic to understand.
I thank you again sir @surpassinggoogle for creating a cool tagline ever. Now I am a ulogger!

Here is my #4 ulog sir.

https://steemit.com/ulog/@fitrianizar/ulog-4-meugang-tradition-before-ramadhan

Touching cool words coming out from our No. 1 "FAN" and of course our original "New Age Internet Celebrity" there. This statement keeps echoing deep down my eardrum though I had to use my headset to hear it well. Terry said:

Even if you have no vote, there is "NO LOSS", at least you're presenting yourself. You're evolving, you're becoming a celebrity.

I agree perfectly with that coz this #ULOG may actually be the main driving force to help people take action on this wonderful steemit platform.

So go ahead folks, keep blogging originally. At least, according to Terry...

"Become a Ulogger today and I'll be your ultimate No1 fan".

You're such an inspiration Ajayi. Thanks for being you. Coincidentally I just finnished posting my motivational ULOG Post a few minutes ago before bursting into this cool inspiring video of your.

You touched my heart more this morning with those fresh words.

Thanks for being you.

And what if it has flaws now?

Steemit does have flaws. But are these flaws big enough to prevent me from using it? Of cours NOT! I love using Steemit, the ideas behind it (to be a decentralized, open source, censorship and advertisement free blockchain based social media platform, where in addition people can earn a crypto currency!) and many great people I have met here.
The Steem blockchain itself with its fast, fee free transactions is also very competitive compared to the concurrents. It's not easy for me to assess the effect of SMTs and the coming communities but I am looking forward to it, being very curious to see what will happen.

One main advantage of Steemit is to open the world of crypto currencies even for people who otherwise would never have get in touch with the matter. By the means of Steemit (as well as busy.org, DTube, DLive and others) Steem has a much bigger range than other crypto currencies. Different than some concurrents we have a working product here, were different people, men and women, from every part of the world, with very different interests and skills, are communicating, contributing and earning money.

I am not interested at all in other social media sites like Facebook which are only created for one single reason: to make their owners more and more rich and powerful (without rewarding the users who are creating their wealth).

I couldn't agree more with you on this....

"The recent ULOGS is simply another means to mine more of "the human".

Other social media platforms left most of us completely unproductive while they leverage and capitalize on making gross profits with our data. But Steemit came as the game changer!

Steemit came and dug our innermost potentials that was lying dormant, and turn them into Gold and wealth. Steemit is the future!

I love Steemit @surpassinggoogle, and with Ulogs, the party just got better.

I don't know how it happened, ulog has really changed the way I perceive my days, it has helped me improved on my project. Overall, I now log my activities in diary too.

Am sure, I won't be wrong if I say @papa-pepper @sykochica and @benjojo are 3 of the human faces on Steemit who invested in you. I see their investment in @surpassinggoogle as minute compared to what such investment has caused in the STEEM blockchain via @surpassinggoogle. All of you will succeed beyond your dreams. Posterity will not forget you. I see your beginning was not easy but you strive. I told you, and am still on my https://steemgigs.org research and it will soon manifest.
