 | For the past 2 months I've been engaging with a number of people I've considered valuable and engaging. Mostly sharing similar values and passion towards blockchain, crypto, AI, economy or psychology. |
|---|
INTRODUCTION
Those were a really long and intense 2 months, but the good news is, I've managed to get to know so many interesting Steemians and I believe that we managed to build an "infrastructure" for a great community.
Many of you know me already long enough to understand my vision of strong and healthy community (build around passion towards crypto) and many were supporting my efforts tremendously.
RESULTS
 (pic source: www.salesforce.com) | I don't want to brag about myself and my achievements, simply because I didn't achieve anything on my own. After all there were so many people invovled in helping me reach my goals who I should thank. |
|---|
So many of you decided to be part of this journey. So many of you put enourmous amount of time to engage with others and I can only be grateful to each one of you.
Results sometimes were mind-blowing. After all seeing your own publication with over 800 comments is simply impressive:
TIME TO SLOW DOWN
I'm impressed with level of engagement and support I've managed to receive. However it's unfortunatelly not easy task to read and reply to that many comments and also to support content of my most active followers. So recently I have been experiencing a feeling of burning out, caused by stress and being overworked and tired.
 | I came to a realization that it's time to slow down for a week or two. Catch a breath and enjoy life for a difference. After all Valentines day is coming so it is indeed a great time to focus on my little family. |
|---|
I will still be replying to all comments but it may be a right time to slow down for a week or two so most likely I won't publish anything new for a while. But it does not mean that Im giving up on Steemit :) Not at all.
SPECIAL THANKS
 | During my journey I've met number of fantastic people from different countries and cultures. And my efforts had been supported by few to whom I'm very grateful. I would not be able to achieve much without their constant support. |
|---|
Those are sort of people we need on Steemit. People who are willing to "give" and delegate their own resources to beginners in hope that it will help our community grow:
| @majes.tytyty | @devann | @tysler |
|---|---|---|
| @crypto.hype | @culgin | @chbartist |
| @danielfs | @hatu | @dynamicrypto |
| @indigoocean | @mariusfebruary | @neavvy |
| @shadowspub | @sulev | @boxcarblue |
So I need to ask each one of you to give me a favor. Nothing big really.
Visit those accounts and have a look at their published content. Perhaps you will find something that you would find interesting and valuable. If you do then show your own support by investing few minutes of your own time, to calmly read their latest post. And then reach out to those authors and drop valuable comment.
That's all really :)
BRINGING BUSINESSES TO STEEMIT
I've been lately trying something new. Idea of my little venture is simple: let's try to bring some businesses to Steemit and see how can I encourage business owners to join Steemit. I had so far many failures and only few small successes. But that's how it is really. Learning curve is not easy.
One of those businesses which I'm supporting with all my heart is @blockshine represented by Daniel Bateman. He published lately new interview with Mr Seth Lim (CEO and founder of Soar Labs and Indonesia’s largest cryptocurrency exchange SoarEx). I found this video interesting and refreshing. And not long at all :)
So to those who are passionate about blockchain technology and would like to support companies trying to build their presence on Steemit, then visit @blockshine and check out their latest video:
Guys, keep in mind that ...
Our engagement is the best way we can bring more serious businesses into Steemit platform. Hope I can count on your support.

Dear Piotr, I will check them out, however I go straight forward to the most important message I am hearing:
Burnouts most likely happen to people with these trades:
The lesson to every burnout is how can I set boundries, when do I have to say "No", how much can I give?
I once had a burnout and didn't know about these lessons which ended my engagement for over three years. Since I deem your engagement very valuable, please do us, do yourself the favor and take your time to answer all of these questions. If you should be in need of counsel I am here. I usually take money, however I feel like you already paid me with your engagement on this blockchain, so:
*This voucher includes whatever you wish for. I offer counsel, guided meditations & hypnosis, cosmological symbols for healing, Tarot Readings and much more. Feel free to ask!
Thank you for everything you did/do for this blockchain.
That's a really cool thing to do, kudos and best wishes to you fella :-)
wow what an amazing honor. congratulations
Thank you, @worldtraveller32! <3
Dear @mayb
Thank you for your amazing comment and I'm very sorry that it took me so long to read it and reply.
Those are very kind words :) Love to hear that you value my work here. Appreciate it a lot.
oh wow. Is that what you do for living? Obviously I feel honoured to receive voucher from you.
How does this voucher works? Let's say that I would like to consult with you one particular topic: being a leader.
This is something that I found very interesting and I would love to learn from you more / brainstorm with you.
ps.
Don't worry about my burnout. I'm a former muay thai fighter. Half of my adult life I've spent in various countries accross Asia. Training and fighting. 4-5h a day, 6 times a week.
I experienced so many bournouts in my past ... and I've learned that short break every now and then + discipline is the only way that works for me. Discipline and persistance is the key :)
Yours
Piotr
Dear Piotr,
I am very glad we're having this communication. I was never disappointed that it took you a while to answer this comment. I mean the whole comment is about taking your time, right?! ;)
I only felt a bit frustrated about the fact that some people are using your commitment and passion against you. I don't want to mention names anymore, I guess you got me.
So, if you really want to talk, I am totally open to it and I guess it would be a very nice time, however I don't want to give you the creepy feeling you would need to take this voucher. :D
You're not on discord, right?! Skype?
Have a wonderful rest!
Dear @mayb
Would you voucher be still valid next month? Im moving my entire life to europe within next several days and starting next week my life will become a real mess. Loads of running errands and generally I may have very little time for Steemit as well after this weekend.
I really don't want you to feel ignored, as I absolutely appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge. Just current timing is difficult for me.
Please advise
I never had that feeling :) ps. I'm on Discord but I'm just hardly using it (it consume to much time). We will figure out communication tool once the time comes, ok? :)
Yours
Piotr
Love never expires. :)
I do not feel ignored or rejected. It's all good. Whenever, wherever. Where exactly do you move to if I may ask.
I already follow most of the people you have listed and agree they all have good work. Those I know of on your list post consistent content daily and have for as long as I have known them.
Steemit is not an easy place to succeed in and few can do so without keeping many balls in the air at all times. It's currently an inbred community and if you are not visibly active no one remembers your name.
I'm interested to see your strategies @crypto.piotr, and see if you continue them here. You are very unique in your use of this blockchain, so maybe you will start a trend.
I have had a few other steemers send me wallet transfers recently to get me to their posts. I have no idea if this is prompted by your example, but I am open to free money from all and always make a comment on any post I get sent that way. A certain segment of the people here do not like "wallet spam." I am in the opposite category and tell people to send me more :)
I'm in the engagement league of @abh12345 and every comment counts for that weekly contest. You may want to check that out when you get back as it drive a lot of the engagement here. everyone ranking in that league is all in for steem.
One another topic, you mentioned the idea of my writing a post inspired by @reverseacid on the subjects of women, crypto, and the "need to know." technical details about blockchain in order to get involved with it. I'm working on that now and will post in a few days probably. We'll soon see if anyone else is interested :)
I enjoyed reading your reply and the response to it.
I tend to agree with you about having to constantly make yourself visible or be forgotten; at least that is what seems to be happening to me since I stopped commenting on the posts of others and for the most part have been concentrating on making replies to my own post respondents. I just don't have the time to read all those posts made by others lately. The only reason I'm here is because of the invitation sent to my wallet, same as yours.
I fell off the truck a few months ago too. I have always been big on commenting widely and really saw a bad result when I stopped. I think if you do a post each time you get here, reply to your comments, and then comment on others for XXX time, this gives the best result. Then if you have more time, post again, answer replies again, and comment again.
If you only stay on your own posts, your audience dwindles - unless you are big and can do big comment upvotes.
I use steemnow to find current posts to comment on and also enter contests that take comments. This way I am not spinning my wheels searching for places to comment on. So if I enter a contest with a post, I will open a couple of the other entrants and usually can find something quickly that way.
Yes, exactly! That's why I am agreeing with you. It's just that right now I need to decide which is more important: Earning a few cents for hours of work or doing something that has meaning? There are more important things in life than a few cents. If I saw that this platform was going in the direction Dan Larimer envisioned, I might be more inspired. Instead I see a few people that still hang onto that vision, but a lot more that are seeking only to grab as much as they can as fast as they can and to hell with the platform itself. That attitude is extremely disappointing and is probably what is holding the entire platform back. Instead of going forward, Steem is slipping in rank, despite it being a very good blockchain. They say that it only takes ONE bad apple to spoil the whole bunch. Unfortunately, there are an awful lot of bad apples here. But I assume you already know that.
I ignore the bad apples as best I can and engage with the good guys. I do see a lot of positive developments in the last months and try to support those as best I can. The dapps I find promising, and the the current twitter campaign are the places I put most of my effort now.
We need new blood with money coming in here for sure. I look at @taskmaster4450 reports that show the rewards and stake being spread more broadly. It may be slow going, but it is happening. It remains to be seen if it will happen soon enough to keep this most excellent blockchain moving in the right direction.
You can most definitely earn more than a few cents for hours of work. but getting to that point takes a lot of focused effort.
I feel like commenting on good posts does have meaning. It encourages the people making them to keep trying. No one like to post to dead air. This is why I do it.
What constitutes a good post? It is very subjective. I spend a lot of time on my daily Zombie Adventure, but few people appreciate the effort. At least I enjoy hosting the games and rewarding my players for their participation. We have fun and that is important to me. I enjoy the interaction and get many good laughs from the comments. To me, that is my reward.
I do also enjoy meeting new people and having intelligent conversations with them, however, I need to curtail the amount of time I spend socializing so that I can do other things like maintain my household and cook and eat. As of late, I have not been getting any exercise and that is not good for my health. I should be taking even more time away from the computer to look after my own health because without health, there is nothing.
For me good posts are travel, art and food for the most part. Also I look at the winners in various contests so I can improve. I do not play games, so zombies would not be for me.
I hear you on the computer/life balance issues. I am an accountant and worked crazy hours for most of my life, so this is not much different. At least I do not have a commute :)
I feel you @happyme. It surely is discouraging to lose your engagement.
The truth is that sending memos seem to be currently the best way of letting people know about your publications. Just know your limits. Don't over do it with to many memos. And mostly keep somewhere list of all accounts that are engaging with you and focus on sending memos only to those people.
And most of all: try to make your posts encouraging for discussion. Most posts are strictly informative or full of strong opinions. It's hard to comment such a posts.
Yours, Piotr
That's true, except for others who may have strong opposing opinions; then you can get a good debate going. Although it does tend to discourage those who are too shy to challenge a strong opinion.
Not all posts need to have discussions though. If you have been watching my feed, you would have noticed that I post a weekly place to let others advertise their own posts. It could be considered our own little classified advertising section if enough people began using it as such. It needs to overcome that critical hump where enough people use it to make others want to also use it. Without reaching that hump, nobody wants to post there because there aren't enough OTHERS already there! How can one get over the hump if the few that try it drop off before others find it? If you and your followers all consistently advertised their posts there, that weekly page could potentially become a central place to advertise and we would be creating our own community right there! Unfortunately, it seems everyone wants to be the creator of their own communities and as such, nobody cares to assist anyone else in building anything.
This is true - it is much easier to join the efforts of others more established. All initiatives I have tried like this have failed. This is why I focus on supporting other people who are trying instead of trying to create my own thing to compete. The only time I have success is when I have comment contests and give sbi shares but that is a huge ton of work.
LOL... I'm totally shocked at the number of people that go for SBI. I really don't see what the attraction is. I would way rather have someone vote directly for me than buy me a share of SBI.
It is way past my bed-time, so I better get moving. Whatever part of the world you are in... I wish you a good day/night.
It's the middle of the day in Malaysia.
I am happy for all votes and after winning many shares, sbi is one of my top performers. They are not buying the share for you - they are buying it for both of you.
It's a concept called universal basic income. As an accountant, I am not too much in favor of the theory. As a steemer, I will take as many as I can get.
Hi @fitinfun
It's me again. Could you tell us more about this account? what they do etc?
I would love to read it. Also I would gladly help you promote your post if you would like me to do so. Just let me know few days before your publication so I would allocate some time on weekend to boost traffic into your post.
ps. do you have telegram? you could find me on Crypto_piotr
yours
Piotr
no I am not on telegram.
You can just sign up for the league on the weekly post of @abh12345. Then you are in until you ask to leave and can track what your interact counts for based on his metrics.
He has two segments - one is about curation rewards - you would be a big fail there based on your voting pattern. The other is about interaction - posts, comments, replies etc. You might do well there, I do not know how active you are in commenting.
He publishes the ranks weekly in both leagues on one post. The people on those lists are driving a lot of interaction here imo. Few others on steem are likely to be that active without getting into the leagues to check themselves. The leagues are very well known.
I will let you know when I publish my post. I'm not too good on knowing how things will go in a few hours much less days :)
Thank you @fitinfun :) You managed to put a huge smile on my face :)
Haha! You would come in last lol.
Enjoy taking a little time to step back. Resetting like that can be a good thing.
Dear Piotr, you already done a great work in these past months and of course you deserve a break.
You made the movement of a great community and i do not know why but 2 months ago i did not even hear about Venezuela troubles but now in all world news Venezuela is on watching and its president is nearly to be out from its crazy power to keep Venezuela people under its egemony in totally powerty.
You are doing great job my friend and i am proud to be your friend!
Dear @crypto.piotr, all the effort I have made has been worthwhile, the community has been strengthened and mutual collaboration is growing.
Certainly it has been a very demanding work done so far, you deserve to rest, think and return with new strength.
As far as I am concerned, I hope to be able to give back some of what you have received from you, and from your collaborators, that is why I try to attend and go to every call you make to support an account. You should know that whenever I am required by you I will try to support your projects.
Rest and come back soon because this must continue to grow.
Hey @crypto.piotr, thanks for the mention! It's the Lunar New Year and I have been busy as well. It's good to take a break and recharge. See you soon my friend!

yep its hard to keep up the engagement when you get so many comments, burn out is easy. Look after your self. I dont know all the accounts you listed so I will go and take a look
Dear @paulag
Thank you for your previous comment. I will try to add you on Discord (I'm still learning how to use this tool).
ps.
I NEED YOUR HELP :) Nothing serious really. But I still hope you can spare few minutes of your time :)
I found out about great contest where winning community can receive a year's delegation worth of 20k SP!
I realized that receiving such a delegation could help greatly to grow our community. After all I'm upvoting each valuable comment. On top of that, I'm doing my best to promote quality content published by other authors and again: I like to reward those who engage with those authors.
I know that it's probably a long shot and most likely our community won't stand a chance in this contest. But I love being the underdog! Let's give them a fair fight :)
Which brings me to my next question, I was wondering if I could count on your support? At this stage I would only need to ask you to comment this post and suggest myself for the contest. Perhaps you could also make another suggestion: @ help.venezuela (this is run by my dear friend @ achim03).
https://steemit.com/dpoll/@theycallmedan/20k-steem-delegation-poll
This is just a first round attempt. I hope we can make it to second round hahha :) Naturally I would appreciate if you could ask your friends to help with our little "quest" :)
Let me know what you think? Perhaps you can also share some advises and hopefully we can "do little bit of brainstorming". Would be awesome to win :)

Piotr
thank you friend for this interesting message, I would like to be part of that commitment you have, I can consider myself a steemit worker on a daily basis, I am involved in the visual art and I have many very good friends in their presentations and very responsible, I would like to be aware of your projects and get involved, for me it would be great to be part of your great project, visual art has many advantages here in steemit, so many businesses can be achieved with the help of good artists involved in a project, greetings friend will be very pending and review the proposals of the friends you have as a reference,
Dear @betzaelcorvo
I'm very pleased to read your kind comment. Please accept my apology for such a late reply. I needed those few days off from steemit :)
I will keep in mind that those are skills you're having :)
ps. God bless Venezuela.

I´ve been so busy lately i haven´t had too much time to support your work. Great work by the way. But we are stil building as a community, and we stand strong, without weak hands (blood sucking creatures) and garbage producers. As you may know i work mainly in the portugueses speaking communitys. But i am open to interesting projects...But we have to have in noticion that STEEM is not a social security number...We need to create intelectual content to receive...As the most valuble asset to humanity to advance.

Dear @duarte9sousa
I just realized that you delegated 39SP to me :) Thank you for your kind gesture. I really appreciate it a lot.
Yours
Piotr
I feel your love...Take the symbol...Is yours broher...Love your work.
A feeling I know all too well. In addition to the work I do for this platform, I work a demanding full time job in IT so it takes it's toll.
Although, I greatly appreciate your approach and heart for communities, @crypto.piotr. At least a couple names on your list are frequent and / or excessive vote buyers which I find antithetical to community.
If they really cared about growth of community on the platform, maybe they should opt our of appropriating the reward pool to themselves by buying votes. Maybe then creators that stand by their work and the quality thereof will be rewarded via proof-of-brain, one of the most appealing things about this platform if it would actually work (and people were more honest).
It's great that the users are delegating to users. I guess in a sense it's giving something back for undermining proof-of-brain with proof-of-wallet but it doesn't take away from what they did in the first place. My position is that bid bots and circle-jerking auto-voters are the bane of this platform.
While i really understand you and we already met in a comments section of healthiswealth if you remember, but still bid bots and promobots are part of this ecosystem.
Just some people should know the limits when they use them. ( this is just my opinion )
Or i will be also fine with it if we ban them. I mean the bots. But i think most of the bots are running by big stake holders.
Even me i am useing, because nowdays you cant get attention if you dont promote your post😔 I will be more happy without them but for sure we will lose many accounts and the vallue of the steem also.
The reason is simple. The people are lazy. They are lazy to read and vote.
Easier is to sell they votes. Also most of the accounts are from third world country where the steem have bigger vallue in every day life so they straight withdraw it if they have a small amount.
So example i try to dont judge people who are useing bots or promotion service. I read they post and after i judge😊
By the way i checked the steemflagreward as you recomend it and they are good. As soon as i have more time and i can make my account stronger i think i will join them because looks like they are effective😉

Dear @gabbynhice
It's not that. Look at it from different angle. Time = resource. And if you want people read your publications then you're asking them to spent their limited resources (time).
Somehow it's your job to ensure that they will think that it's worth it. And this is not easy.
Cheers
Piotr
This is a quiet sensitive topic. In some way you are right. In some way not. It depend just from which side you look at the topic.
I can also share some experience and i can prove what i wrote but that will be a crazy topic and for sure i will hurt many people. And as we talk about it before sometimes the block chain maybe is not the best place to be honest.

Dear @anthonyadavisii
Please accept my apology for such a late reply. I needed those few days off from steemit :)
What do you do related to IT? Do you mind sharing?
The way I see delegating is more of a way of connecting between people. Connection build on selfless support of one person towards someone who is either new or cannot buy STEEM. It gives people impression that someone out there cares about them. And that's how I'm trying to bond people here. Building some small emotional "bridges".
Are you very against bots?
Yours
Piotr
I've pretty much said that vote-bots are our enemy from the time they were first introduced.
Hey piotr
Forever the selfless gentleman, its great that you're always trying to push connection and engagement its with efforts like these we build stronger bonds and become closer as a community especially during these down turn phases.
Once value picks up again we will be stronger for it
Dear @chekohler
Im already blushing hahaha :)
Cheers buddy, Piotr
Take a break Piotr and enjoy Valentine's Day, we'll be here when you get back. 🙏

do you have any interesting plans for Valentines day @wonderwop? :)
Will surely do. You have done so much for this platform as well as bloggers. You supported many and helped them to grow. After this kind of amazing and continuous work you should rest and spend time with family. I wish you great happy time with your family.
@majes.tytyty @devann @tysler @crypto.hype @culgin @chbartist @danielfs @hatu @dynamicrypto @indigoocean @mariusfebruary @neavvy @shadowspub @sulev
I want to thank you each of you for the great work at steemit. I already following and reading every article of some but now onward will do for all. Wish you guys great success here.
Please let me know if I can help you with anything, whatever you need I am here. Lately I was trying the same. I reached some you tubers who were famous and they have lot of subscribers - in shorter time youtube blocked so many and the reason was unfair. So I was encouraging them to join steemit and dTube where this kind of things not happens.
I am going to participate in commercial ad contest - I made little video. I am not good at it and never done earlier so this is the first. But as they are using some of them to promote steem so I wanted to try too. Will share with you the link. Your kind feedback will be appreciated as you always give honest reviews about the post.
@blockshine is doing great job for sure. I remember they have used steemit to hire new talents. Which was great step.
Have a great time my friend @crypto.piotr.
Thank you for your kind words @flash07 and for the support of the content. @crypto.piotr is really an inspiration on this platform, we need more figures like him who is supporting and expanding the community!
Totally agreed with you @blockshine.
Dear @flash07

Recently some big YouTube users lost their account so reached them through their alternate YouTube accounts & other social media accounts like twitter and all. Honestly not that much of response till now. But I will continue to do it.

Take a look at that humbleness and humility you portrayed with that statement. If it were to be some people, they will always believe they did it themselves without anyone helping them. I actually love this trait about you 😊.
Smiles, I will surely do the same if I was in your shoes 😀. I believe we should always have more time for our loved ones which includes our family and we shouldn't be a workaholic all the time 😊.
I hope to check this out 😊.
Thanks for sharing this great post with love from @hardaeborla 😊.. Enjoy your week days 😊💞
I am very grateful for your kind words @haraeborla and for your fantastic support. @crypto.piotr has been amazing in getting the word out there for the Blockshine ecosystem, we need more figures like him who is supporting and expanding the community!

People try to have success very hard in this plattform so I fully understand the need to disconnect a bit. There is no need to apologize for your memos, I don't have any problem in take a look on those accounts.

Your balance is below $0.3. Your account is running low and should be replenished. You have roughly 10 more @dustsweeper votes. Check out the Dustsweeper FAQ here: https://steemit.com/dustsweeper/@dustsweeper/dustsweeper-faq
Thanks a lot for your engagement and you deserved the break in every case.
Spent time with your wife and let her know that she is for you the most important human on earth !
All the best and see you again after time out !

Very good, so I hope you will soon be ok again.
Im back already. I didnt manage to go to far @udow :)
Im Addicted to steemit already hahaha
Have nice rest Piotr😉
But i have a advice for you. I know you work hard for the steem block chain. But dont forget that this should not be a work. This should be a fun.
Mostly that is our biggest promblem here on steemit that the people are dont use it as a social network but they are forceing themself like a work to earn some money.
Money should be just secondary here. First should be to have a rest and fun. And we should be happy that we also can earn a small amount. 😉
To be honest i think you know that how much i want steem to be popular and i really want all of us here to earn also while we enjoy steemit.
But life is first. 😉 And steemit is not a life. Just one option.
So even i try to spend here more time but when my fiancee and my doughter needs me they are the first😊
Anyway i will check out the blogers you mentioned as usually as soon as i have a little time😉

Thank you for your kind comment and I'm very sorry for such a late reply. I needed those few days off from steemit :) But I'm slowly already coming back.
It has been fun, but even having fun can make you tired, right? :)
I'm here to build connections. I believe that knowing right people within blockchain community will help me create business opportunities in the future.
And I'm here to stay. I'm more determined that 99% of people here. Almost half of my adult life I've spent training martial arts and it does require real hardcore discipline. :)
Again thx for your great comment.

Great, some people I followed before, some I added after your post. Good job Piotr, this is worthy for the community!

Hey my friend @crypto.piotr nice to read one more time a post from you including incredible people who are help more steemians and great writers...!!!
First it all. I just want to say thank you one more time for all the time you are investing to keep a great community and help more people here on Steemit.
Enjoy your days off... So. It is not necessary to reply my comment, the most important part is your life and your health.
If you feel tired...Take a huge breathing and make your life better, now you know the technique about breathing meditation..
It is necessary to take a nap and meditate for a while what is happening in your life.. Steemit will stay here long time. So, one or two week off is nothing...
I’m sure nobody will upset here if you don’t response to everyone...
Taking easy... If we have a healthy life, we can enjoy everything and nobody can disturb us with nothing else.. ok..
Be happy all the time...!!!

Dear friend Piotr:
Dissenting voices always appear, people who for some personal interest do not share your methods and perhaps express their point of view in the least appropriate way.
But I know that I can speak on behalf of all of us who are part of your circle of friends at steemit: You can count on us.
The response that you obtained from this valuable action that you did in December with the request of charity for the brothers of Venezuela said a lot about you.
Sure you will have our positive testimonies of motivation.
The results are clear: we are many who respond to your calls, to your suggestions. We do it selflessly. Already the sentimental bond exists and is very strong. You have a community of friends that we love and we will support you in your new initiatives.
Yours, Juan.
Hi @crypto.piotr. You have done an amazing job. You deserve a good time for you and your family!
Love to see how responsive you are @danielfs
I'm sorry that it took me so long to read and reply.

Piotr
I always say, real life comes first! I’ve stepped back a bit from here as well, been enjoying some other things and still comment on stuff and upvote but the level I was doing things before was difficult to manage everything. Breaks are important, for everyone!

My dear friend @crypto.piotr
There is no doubt that you are accomplishing your goals like the One Man Army. The way you are placing the crypto community in a strong lanyard and motivating people. Undoubtedly it reflects your strong mentality. You are one of those people who never give up. Together, I would like to thank every member of the crypto community who are making an invaluable contribution to the development of this community.
Hundred plus reply shows that your effort is increasing in positive direction. I am happy that I am a member of this journey. Late trying to reach the post of people related to the script on the script. In fact, the characters of congratulations are you who are trying to bind many people in the form of unity and inspire them constantly.
I will pray to God that the coming week is good for you with the family.

Hello Crypto.Piotr, you're doing a great job to add value to Steem as well as support fellow Steemians. I feel it's too much work but then your passion made it seem like it's nothing for you :)
Anyways, I follow a few of those accounts mentioned and and I will visit the others.
Finally, I did check out Blockshine and promoted their hiring post on other social media and with friends.
Have a great time buddy and a happy Valentine's day to you and Kathy in advanced 😄💯

Greetings crypto.piotr, I have rather the following suggestion about steemit, I have heard that there are people who claim that steemit lately of only steem and nothing of sbd when paying users for their posts, in my opinion steemit could be corrected always giving a percentage of both currencies that it has (steem and sbd), also needs to improve its system so that it becomes easier for people to interact directly, to have a chat as the discord for example. It is my opinion, greetings

Hello @ crypto.piotr I had a time out of the platform for important issues here in Venezuela, but this week I will surely be returning with some post. I think it's good that you take a break, you've worked hard to build this community and help them all, including myself. I thank you for all the support received from you and I hope that this favor you ask can compensate some of the aid you have given to many of us.
Dear @luiscalzadilla
It's great to have you back. Send me link to your new post via memo once you upload it, ok? I will gladly check it out.
Cheers
Piotr
Thanks for the post @crypto.piotr... you did really make quite a great jump... you are far ahead of me on STEEM (in terms of my own generalised view, ok?). I have been quite distracted with other stuff, but mostly with family, to be honest.
This is a very time-consuming hobby, and for whom uses it for a living, I give those my best respects... it's quite hard to be valued for what you know.... and most of the time, the only way is to bring what you know, do something useful, otherwise, people don't really care.
Anyway, good rest, and see you back later.

It is already proven many times that in this blockchain, helping others tru steempower delegation is not scarce. There is so many steemians in all levels do delegate to others to improve engagement, fund raising or content rewarding and management.
We owe it to them.
I will do my very best to comment to their post.

you need to relax my friend, you became nice for the people you knew so they'll understand if ever you wanted to take a break. Enjoy life and most of all build memories to remember later. Ofcourse it's not a big favor to ask so I will visit those nice people you recommended right away. Thanks for including me

The holidays stress people out so much. I suggest you keep it simple and try to have as much fun as you can. Life is all about balance, and there are certain times of the year - birthday, anniversary, holidays - that are meant to be enjoyed without guilt.

Hi Piotr!
You are doing a great job and I respect that (except for the memo-spamming).
Engagement is one the most important things here ;-)

I'm pretty much only sending one memo a week to group of people who engaged with me one way or the other in the past.
If you wouldn't like me to bother you in the future then obviously I will stop. Please advise.

Thanks @crypto-piotr . I appreciate your effort for introducing me with so many wonderful writers, I know few of them earlier but majority of them are introduced to me by you. though I am not very active in steemit so you provide me an excellent service of providing me the fully curated content. (Actually saving my time).
Your efforts of bringing the business in steemit wit help both businesses and steemit users. I hope together we will all rock.
Best of luck to you and I hope we will see more good articles from all the authors listed here.

Its good to take a step back and view all the things you have done for Steem from a wider perspective. Some things maybe become more clear for the future. You definetely managed to create a lot of engagement within the community which we all really appreciate.
Take care @crypto.piotr and enjoy the time with family, thats very important!

Dear @andyjem
Thank you for your previous comment. And Im also sorry for such a late reply. I wonder if you even will read my comment ...
ps.
I NEED YOUR HELP :) Nothing serious really. But I still hope you can spare few minutes of your time :)
I found out about great contest where winning community can receive a year's delegation worth of 20k SP!
I realized that receiving such a delegation could help greatly to grow our community. After all I'm upvoting each valuable comment. On top of that, I'm doing my best to promote quality content published by other authors and again: I like to reward those who engage with those authors.
I know that it's probably a long shot and most likely our community won't stand a chance in this contest. But I love being the underdog! Let's give them a fair fight :)
Which brings me to my next question, I was wondering if I could count on your support? At this stage I would only need to ask you to comment this post and suggest myself for the contest. Perhaps you could also make another suggestion: @ help.venezuela (this is run by my dear friend @ achim03).
https://steemit.com/dpoll/@theycallmedan/20k-steem-delegation-poll
This is just a first round attempt. I hope we can make it to second round hahha :) Naturally I would appreciate if you could ask your friends to help with our little "quest" :)
Let me know what you think? Perhaps you can also share some advises and hopefully we can "do little bit of brainstorming". Would be awesome to win :)
Yours
Piotr
You did a great job. Though sometimes they came across criticism from some.

@crypto.piotr Take that break, because it is well deserved, and i will tell you why ...
I know and see what you are trying to build here, and i think i told you before, you have my upmost respect for this. I know very well myself what physical toll you are paying when you do these things all by yourself.
Even though you get ‘help’ from the community, you are the driving force behind it.
So ... take that break (if you havn’t already) and reload that internal battery. There’s much more in life then crypto and other internet related things, ...much more.
Your health is much more important then anything else, sometimes you do not realise that .. untill you loose it.
Be Safe my Friend and take good care of you (and the wife)
Dear @elektropunkz
Love to hear that! :)
Very well said. I never thought about it this way, but you're quite right.
