@aarellanes I appreciate you taking the time to write the draft for this post and for sending out all the SBD on my behalf. Thank you for picking out the best content shared by everyone who took the time to comment on the last "Upvotable Series Post"! It is great to find the best content found in one spot in a simple list.

Would you help us find a posts that are really good with rewards under $10 by linking to them in the comments because we need to vote these posts up to help motivate the authors to keep making new posts?

  1. Earn 10 SBD as a finder fee paid by me via @aarellanes if you share a post by another author! You are also welcome to submit your own posts but do not earn any finder fee! Submitting other's posts are encouraged because it helps inspire others that Steemit is here for them!
  2. The voting deadline is 7 days from posting meaning that newer posts that are really worth the read with smaller rewards are best because these will help the authors most with our upvotes!

@utfull asked a question thats been buggin many people i wish if you can use it in your post
https://steemit.com/steemit/@utfull/to-whome-did-my-steemit-registraition-info-goes-to

My first ever upvote from gentlebot....universe is sending me and you both a signal @jerrybanfield 😂😂

You have my sincere thanks, Jerry. For taking your time to look at my post and to even deem it worthy of the #1 spot! The other readers seemed to like it as well. I greatly appreciate it. And your work here on steemit. Rock on!

Hi, and thanks for keeping the locomotive steeming on!

I'm curiouse to figure out if people are interested in me continuing with this kind of posts:

https://steemit.com/photography/@warjar/slice-of-norway-1-trolltunga

Great post Jerry. I'm a little burned out on Steemit and admit to no longer seeing the potential in it that you do, for me there's too many things that need to happen and change for Steemit to even close to competing with Facebook...the biggest one would be advertising, will never get even close without it... but I'm keeping my money in it and relying on people like you to hopefully build it!

Why do you like advertisements?

Granted, they're annoying...but if Steemit is going to be $10, they're going to actually have to have some income. How else besides just continuing to give away money are they going to actually become profitable? what's going to happen once there's no more money for people to be able to give away because Steemit has no more steempower to allow people to to pay others?

The growth is coming from investors just like all the other cryptos, the only difference between steemit and other cryptos is blogging instead of cpu/gpu power to mine new coins.

Right, but what happens when there are no new coins to mine?

Agreed. The whole system is currently relying on continious growth. For now that is comming from the establishing phase of STEEM. Where people are willing to invest other currensies for STEEM - also allowing for more STEEM to be "printed" without drop in value.

At som point people will have to be willing to pay out of their own pocket for the content provided here on Steemit. I suppose one hope on the creators side, could have been that by then, STEEM have "taken over as the world currency". If people still are willing to pay for reading posts or create them for free - Steemit will survive like any other open forums today. Otherwise it will likely smolder away - but STEEM will in this senario remain and have moved along to all other aspects daily trade.

We are living in a gold-rush time of new cryptocurrensies. It cannot last forever. Unless we transfer to a new cryptocurrensy every new decade or so. Which would only be an endless redistribution of all wealth every round. In my mind that sounds like a great recipie for conflicts of historical proportions. Meaning it would fit right in there as a natural next chapter of mans achievements since the beginning of time.

"Agreed. The whole system is currently relying on continious growth. For now that is comming from the establishing phase of STEEM. Where people are willing to invest other currensies for STEEM - also allowing for more STEEM to be "printed" without drop in value." nope thats not how it works! steem is smarter than you think...why cant you guys just admit that @dan just happened to create something that works and always will and that there happens to be new ideas sometimes that work so well they make everything before it seem like an inefficient waste of time....and steem is NOT relying on "continuous growth"

No new coins to mine??? Thats not how stem works....its not bitcoin...see i KNEW you had no idea what you were talking about LOl and it sadens me SO much to see people upvoting you, not only rewarding you for your ignorance BUT yopure also spreading misinformation, youre he;p[oing to make other people dumb its sad! now people will think they hve a realy smart taking point of "what happens when theres no more copins to mine!" because they saw your comment with plenty of upvotes....its realy lame man...u should really educate yourself about a subject before going around hurting the potentioal for people to actualy learn the reality of steemit.....theres no limit to how many steem coins are mined....and they arent "mined" steem is not biutcoin...they dont mine steem coins....they are created by the witnesses and thres an inflationrate, steem is not defelationary bitcoin type currency steem is an inflationary cryp[to currency blockchgain and its more eefficient than bitcin becaue of this! Bitcoin needs a massive un efficient power hungry system to work while steem only needs like 21 rasberry pi mini computers something the size of a Printer and a few solar panels could run the ENTIRE stem blockchain!

Steem is not just a money system, so u have to undertand how it works as a fully integrated social network and it STILL gets al the benefits of a crypto currency decentralized blocklchain, WITHOUT the "bloated" need for massive power usage and exahash and exahash of processing power.....no steem blockchain is moe efficient and can run more transactions per second WAY more and its basically ready for billions of users when bitcoin is not....

please just uunderstand that steemit is NOT like bitcoin so u cant apply the same rules to steem

but just because steem is an inflationary currency DOES NOT mean than its bad or that its not as "faior" as bitcopin or something

At least in the beginning, the amount of steem is doubled every year, and this new steem thats "created out of thin air" is not just created and given to just anyone....its given to whoever gets the most upvotes! And the PRICE of Steem ...wouldnt that just decline as they create more steem you ask?!?! No because there are enough people buying steem to keep it around $1 right now....but there is SO much growth that the porice will keep going up as we gain more users!

But you seem to be stuck in this false idea that was spread ignorantly all over steemit that Steem is somehow Mined like bitcoin and the steem that is "mined" is shard with the reward ool and that one day the steem being mined will "run out" just like bitcoin (qs if the steemit creators would be that stupid???) and THATS where this ieaof evebntlame blogging website....
Thats where this idea of having tyop uise ADvertising comes in! they believe that the idea of steem is so un sustainable that eventuially we will "run out of steem" (both literay and figuratively) and will have to run ads like any other blog website and no sory we are not facebopopk and we dont need ads and never will!

sorryt for sounding rouyghm its ok u will learn, but i swear theres alot of people hired to spread disinfo and misinfo ons teemit to scare peopel and i bet all sorts of Fcebook agents and even reddit agents are ll over steemit doing all sorts of subversion and sabatoge! why WOULDNt they be?!?! We all forget how evil and roothless alot of people are and always have been!

This post received a 2.7% upvote from @randowhale thanks to @cyberblock! For more information, click here!

Do you even realize that Steemit ALREADY HAS advertisements!? You realize how when youtube puts an ad in their system, it can pop up in the list of content like any othervideo..so do you see how steemit posts can be USED AS an ad if you just pay to either promote it with @null OR you just Upvote it yuourself, and pay to have it upvoted, u will end up makingmoney off the ad if u do it right!

But you see how uyou can biuy your way to the front page?!?! SO ads are unnecisary!!!!

we already HAVE a system where we can pay to have a post seen more than others! Not just the promote tool but just the general idea of paying for steempower and upvoting your own postr! or having a few whale accoints that you use to upvote ur own posts to avoid being seen as self voting....so u see???

we already HAVE ads! we have videos with Affiliatre links etc, those ARE advertisements....

you just dont get the fuindamental changes here going on
Steemit is changing the whole way people look at advertising as a whole!

The medium is the message...The content itself becomes an ad, if you work for a company your social media profile beciomes a living ad fpor that company and its products

Youre so ignorant about how steemit works, please dont spread disinformation about steemit on a popular post like this, youre really influyencing alot of gullible people who just follow the top comments, u have no idea how steemit works if you believe we "need" advertising...u really just dont understand how steemit "makes" its money.....

we dont need ads we never did and we never will, its not how it works ...we dont follow the standard model,....ur thinking inside a box and its annoying how your just speaking about it so matte of fact

And u sound so arrogant talkiung about how "for me, theres too many thigs that need to happen to change steemit" So why dont you change them?!?!?! SO many peopel complain without ever doing anything to try and fix the problem! and no its not because you dont have the opportunity or "arent in the position to do anything" yeah just keep thinking that and it will remain true.....

At least you said youre keeping your money in steemit, thats the smartest thing you said!

so when steem hgoes past $10 WIOTYHOUT any ads...youll have a pleasent suprise!

Why do you think Steemit needs ads foir steem to reach $10? You didnt explain any of that and you just stated it as if its some common sense fact (when its not its just some rumor you and probly a few of ur friends here on steemit pass around liek an echo chamber)

seriously i wish more peopel would step out oftheir OWN personal steemit bubble, and see that just because they arent making enough money on steemit doesnt mean that steemit is broken....u have to stopp acting like steem needs ads tho come ion....

and what ELSE has to chance for you to belive in steemit?!?! sderioulsy do you EVEN KNOW how incredible steemits current features even are/!?! do u even realize the whole effiiecny of steem as the MOST efficent bloclchain and how we have more transactions than anyone and how we as a blockchain are #1 in users and transactions and its just SO undervalued

u guys see the facade and u think thats all thre is?!?!?!
u guys have NO idea how amazing steemit truley is but you will

lmfao...this is one of the funniest replies I've ever read. Thank you for the laugh. Ignorant? Hardly...You're a little sheep just blindly following the shepherds, aka the top contributors. I think you're a bit confused how a company actually functions, and more confused where all this money is coming from to allow crazy up votes and people getting paid for posting sometimes stupid blogs. Money doesn't last forever. I'm quite certain Steemit will ultimately fail, but I'm gambling that it hits $10 on the next pump, which at that point I will definitely be cashing out. Best of luck to you...you need to look in the mirror next time you call someone arrogant

Every business, stock commodity, investment relies on growth? Otherwise the value drops. supply and demand. Am I missing something?? Basic economics.

Come and chat on http://steemspeak.com and listen to people talk about the future of Steemit.

living big in a tinyhouse

@jerrybanfield this is interesting and different

Hey @markwhittam, this is pretty cool! Unfortunately your rep is too high and on top of that your post is just a video.

upvotable
https://steemit.com/philosophy/@aircoin/we-were-murderers-for-90-of-our-human-existence-but-yet-cry-about-a-death
This is the result of a sleepless night, sadly only 1 cent payout and barely any attention :(.
Maybe you can look over it @jerrybanfield.

I agree that I won't recieve the finders fee because its my own post.

sadly only 1 cent?? dude why are you sad that you made money!?!? And if you arent making much for your post, maybe you shouldnt spend so much time on them? its not steemits fault its ur fault! u should make better posts maybe or market them betteror just wait till u have more followers etc! sorry for being so rough but i wanna help u stop this bad habitr befoe it develops! i can totally see you complaining again about "notr making enough momey" and its realy bad, whales odnt like it, u should comment about how GRATEFUl tyou are juist for that penny! because noone owes you shit here , like by asking for upvotes ur just begging for change basically and ya if someon has some change they can give it to u but u cant just expect ur post to make money because you spoent a night on it, you should hacve had fun writing it, wtf so why are u sopending a sleepless night on something if the 1 cent u make isnt good enough for u?!??!

didnt yopu realize that youre posts arent going to make much money when youre new?!?!!

i realy dont get it...people come here and they epxect to make money because they see othr people making money>!>! but you didnt put any work in to get followers?!?! so why do u expect to make any money?!?!

so u should just be moe garteful, u sound sio entitled with ur comment!

i see these type sof comments so much sio sorry but u have to be scolded about it !!! socold u with hot guilt water!


lol jk

hey but its al good! Im giving u a 1 cent upvote (like eevryone else gets) so at least youve made over 53 cents off just ur own copmment!

MAYB you should go make more comments! u can make $100 na day off comemnts if ur on steemit all day making bomb comments and leaving lots of GIFs

and yes I realize how much of an asshole i can sem like but look what I say is from the heart and im not holding back and its always constriuctive criticism because i want yopu to not sound entiotled in ur future comments so that you can INSTEAD sound GRATEFUl and i PROMISE you being grateful on steemit, like OVER:Y grateful, will earn u ALOT of positive whale attention and rewards!!!

everytime u wana complain about not making enough on your ppsts, why dont you instead talk about how grateful u are? even if u arent! just lie and say ur grateful! and eventually u WILL SEE how u really SHOULD be grateful! how LUCKY you are to be earning ANY money online!

Loading...

WOW very cool program here!
@jerrybanfield you are realy working hard, and more of us should be copying you giving u credity it would only helop to have MORE marketers!

ur work is really cool because it wouldnt hiurt you if we copied your style completely! it would actualy help you get moe followers but liek for example, many steemiut users post in ways that are unique to them, and it would be unfair to just copy their style and steal their gig

BUT you make posts that WE CAN copy because it would allow for even MORE steemit ads and steemit videos and if we ALL make videos like Jerry hre, showing off our OWN steemit blogs, we could get similar success and it wont take away from Jerrys success it would only help him!

theers more than enough upvots to go around!!

when a whale upvotes jwery, they still have enough upvpots to ALSO upvote anothr post too if they see one just as good!!!!

so in terms of This 10 ten post.....top TEN posts are just SUPER suyccesful Look at youtube!!

some channels were created on youitube JUST as a top Ten channel without knwoing ANYTHING about what teh channel would ghave as content! they just saw how much attention top ten channels and vids got and BOOm now youtube is full of multi million subscriber top ten channels!!! and who doesnt love general human hierarchy?

anyway ya i like how ur finding new ways to make new series, like now u have "Upvotable' series wow so now u have made work for yourself! now every day or once a wek or whenever u want you can make these posts where u just show ioff your top favoprite posts! MUCH better than resteeming whch i dont like ...ppl resteem to much and it doesnt hewlp they should make posts ABOUT a post they like! But thats extra eork so peopel dontw ana do that, they just resteem! but if they did what YOU did they could make a profit HELPING getting OTHERE steemit users attention!!

wow thats another ioncredible aspect about this post! Youre actually just trying to help OTHER steemit users get some upvotes by highliting your favorite 9 posts u believ are upvotable and you ended upo making $100 of it!

I am very new to this world of Steemit and I see a lot of challenge for beginners to get into the space. Looks like everyone is in hush here and what matters is only the upvote and not the content of the blog. When i first heard about steemit and the blogging part of it i was kind of excited to put up my blog here but the response i got i feel no more enthu.
My blog
https://steemit.com/life/@nainaztengra/life-at-the-surface

in your post you have paragraphs that appear elsewhere on the internet.

i agree keep on steeming
