THE DWINDLING PROOF OF BRAIN/MIND MINING- A STEEM STATE OF DESPAIR!

Blogging and earning is some sort of Proof of Brain and a whole lot of people have been doing and enjoying it for moons away, presently, it seems pretty too harsh for someone who just joined steemit to understand what that actually means because there seems to be nothing to mine from the Steem Rewardpool anymore.

Mining in other Crypto project is completely different from the Steem Blockchain, conventionally you mine with sophisticated mining devices that solves complex algorithms/calculations and you get a fair portion of the tokens derived from solving those complex calculations for yourself. On the Steem Blockchain, steem is mined by top witness which is somewhat distributed daily to users who “sub-mines” it with their minds called Proof of Brain.

Hardly would you see a post that’s not paid for/promoted on the Trending page, not that it is bad to do that but it’s a limited move for some selected few, meaning if you do your maths carefully and you are not some whale or Dolphin with liquid Steem or SBD, you can’t afford to blog and buy upvotes with your liquid assets in this massive almost year-long bear-run.

Sadly, multiple promotional schemes and being in multiple communities doesn’t count anymore if you ask me, the SteemBlockchain is experiencing a massive DIP and low Market Capitalization I presume and this is not bringing in more investors unto the Steem Blockain. Hopefully that changesoon otherwise the prediction for Steem to die with the long Bear Market might come to pass.

Now the resources to be a witness is becoming more expensive than what each witness gets in return for printing new sets of Steem tokens, so to say, for ordinary users, to get a fair and decent share of Steem/SBD, you have to come up with master plans and state-of-the-art skills/techniques (app development) to get a handful of steem.

Unfortunately, we all can’t be a developer/programmer/coder, writing is a skillset on its own and it was once super encouraging to blog daily here, now it seems like it’s a waste of time to stay put.

For musical artist and maybe artist and poets, a gamers, vloggers; maybe it’s a different ball game now in this unending DIP season, once you could do any of this stuff then you have a chance to make some Steem and not exactly “make your own coins” even if you do not possess the technicality.

Presently, irrespective of how good you are as a writer or a musical artist, as a sculptor or a Gamer; your proof of Brain is not a guaranteed way to mine you Steem anymore like it usedno matter your investment in your content, the whole Crypto-space is in the state of euphoria and a massive Bull Run could ease our nerves.
