AskSteemit: Who are your favorite Steemians and why?
Steem is growing every day. So many people joining, so many that have stuck around for a very long time but also many who have left. Where most other blockchain's rely on their miners to do the heavy lifting and reward only those that either buy in or buy equipment to earn stake in it, here we reward users for their activity directly but also keep investors happy with curation rewards.
It feels like a lot of time has passed and that Steem has been alive for such a long time if you've been here daily from the very beginning. It's difficult to grasp that the blockchain isn't even 2 years old yet. So much happening, so many different communities being built and so many new people finding out about it and becoming active in the communities that interest them.
A lot of people are settling in with their activity, finding the missing parts that the platform needs and lacks and patching them up. The feeling of the small community I myself used to have about the platform is slowly starting to fade. With the increase in users the chances of everyone at one point interacting with another are decreasing.
Some people have big roles, some have medium ones while others have smaller ones. Everyone contributing in their own ways and many sharing the same beliefs that this technology will change the world and is already making big moves. It's really starting to feel like it's building up into it's own civilization.
Anyway, to get to my question I have today and was hoping for a healthy discussion. There are always key players and influencers in every community, it doesn't always matter what they stand for and what they do but to you they are the favorite ones because of the ways they do things and interact on the platform.
Who are your favorite Steemians and why?
On these #asksteemit posts I reward good discussions more than usual.
favourite steemian? I do not really have to think hard for an answer.
Number one on my list is @acidyo himself. The raw passion and enthusiasm for steem and steemit project that I have seen from him has never been matched by any other steemians I have interracted with. I am not saying that he is the most passionate, but the best I have been across as far as my steemit journey has taken me.
Next on my list is @pharesim. Even though I have not interacted much with him but his passion for steemit and humility makes a good combination. He breezes-in and out of steemit chat like every other minnow ^^. People that know him will understand what I am actually talking about here.
@justtryme90 and @lemouth will continue to be my source of inspiration and harworkas far steemit project is concerned. The tenacity shown by them towards the steemstem community and steemit project is amazing. Together with the management (@anarchyhasnogods, @suesa, @mobbs), the general curators (@zest, @kryzsec, @ruth-girl, @trumpman) and the language curators (@alexs1320, @aboutcoolscience, @greenrun, @guga34, @kingswisdom, @sco, @iamphysical, @carloserp2000 and myself); the scientific community has been given a leverage through the steemstem project and we just might see science taking its deserved place in the decentralized future.
The list could go on and on but I will not forget to mention people that have made significant contributions to my steemit experience. @suesa happens to be my mentor, @abigail-dantes, @erh.germany, @anarchyhasnogods, @apsu, @nely, @tarazkp, @futurethinker, @m31, @greenrun, @ehiboss, @gbenga, @earisu, @erodedthought, @leopatra and members of the steemstem community and dangerzone chat channel as whole.
Thank you for putting me on your list @gentleshaid :)
you deserve more :)
Well I wanted to shy away from mentioning you and saying that you Top my list of favourite steemians because you might see it as share flattery but what the heck! If I don't say it then I will be lying to myself .
@acidyo Tops the list of my favourite steemians because, evwlen though I don't know who he is or have seen his face before, his level of interaction on this platform has made me grow fund of him. He is a gamer and I am not, but because of him ,I have started developing interest in game playing and would proudly say he is my mentor when it comes to gaming. I also admire his philanthropic nature. He is just a cool guy.
The second on the list is @surpassinggoogle ...his love for humanity is second to none. He has so much passion for human life that sometimes you would think he is an angel. He is also a very philanthropic soul, always looking for ways to help others grow and that's just so cool of him.
The Third on my list is @humanearl ...God that guy inspires me. I read his every post and I draw so much inspiration from his every word. He takes his time to communicate with those who comments on his post and is a very friendly person. When you chat with him you would think you are having an actually conversation with him in real life.
The fourth on my list is @tarazkp ...dude is a talented writer, he inspires me to become a betelter writer and I love him for that. He can write about absolutely anything and if you wana get entertained then you have to follow his blog.
The fifth on my list is @greenrun ...He inspires me as an engineer. I also draw so much inspiration from reading from his blog. He is a talented engineer and does well with penning down engineering articles and I walk in his footsteps.
The sixt on my list is @strawhat ....He doesn't post much and perhaps doesn't communicate much but to me he is a steemit philanthropist and I love him for that.
The seventh on my list is @thejohalfiles ....i love the fact that he supports minnows and assists people who has so much passion for Steemit and are willing to promote it. He gave me hope when I almost lost hope due to low post payouts and I must say he is one of the reasons I am still in this platform. Thanks to him
If I continue , the list will be unending and so I will make a few quick mentions of other steemians who have inspired me over time ... @stellabelle, @anomadaoul, @vcelier, @runicar, @Karenmckersie, @damarth
A big thank you to you all...I appreciate you guys
A great list of cool Steemians in there. ;)
Yes, happy I came across you today @acidyo, and a fab post for finding more good people. Thanks you and also for the upvote!
I am new to steemit and be surprised with this list. It helps me a lot to know about famous steemians, from which to learn. I am Venezuelan and I have to translate to be able to write them but it is worth the work because I can know them to follow them and learn from all of you ..
This "a hot sit question for me". I am just 12days old on the platform and the journey hasnt been too difficult for me due to the few steemians i have followed their writings.
Its the ideal thing to start with the man who popped the question and this isnt to fulfill all righteousness but because its just the truth.
@acidiyo, he is one of the very few i started following when i started out on steemit and i must say this guy is the real deal. He seems to know little about everything and everything about little. His writing inspires me, i have come to break an habit because of him; i rarely play games but this guy writes in such a way that if felt like a crime if i don't get started with games and he has such a lovely personality. He is just awesome.
@ilyastarar..very real dude, teaches me how to survive on steemit. it can be so hard for a newbie having to face several posts from different people but this guy made my job easier, he through his post gave me a peek to how i can make the most out of steemit. His writings are so practical, his recent post opened my eyes to some lovely truths about steemit and have put them together to always give anyone coming to steemit through me so their journey here can be smooth and easy.
@czechglobalhosts
photography that brings brings life to you. The popular saying goes thus,"seeing is believing." you might want to check out her post yourself. She took photography to a whole new level.
You sure don't want to go through your day starving, i have the perfect blog you can always check out. Her recipe is out of this world. I mean she is just good like that and that is @allasyummyfood, she does it for me when it comes to food.
You sure don't want to be ignorant on anything that has to do with bitcoin, i have the perfect guy for that job and he is @haejin, he is so good at it he drops those news effortlessly.
You sure don't want to be in the dark concerning crypto, there is one guy for the job, i fondly call h
im the crypto guy, he is @ivanli, cool guy but very resourceful.
last but not the least on my list is @donkeypong, this dude is a great copywriter, His writing is so powerful you would see yourself in the description of his stories. I have learnt so much from him.
I have followed these people silently and it has helped me not only on steemit but also in my personal life
@dhamtex, i'll really love to get acquainted with you and your mentor @ilyastarar (did i spell that right?)
You spelled it right. Thanks @dhamtex.
You are so welcome @ilyastarar
Thanks @sistem You inspire me to check them out. This post is great for finding good people here. Very nice!
Hi @sistem So im checking out your favorites and come to @surpassinggoogle and all I see on his page is reposts...Im sorry if I am ignorant here, but Im new on Steemit and Ive come across a few of these profiles already, and dont get it? Are they just making money reposting and how? You say a lot of great things about him but is that just to get his attention or is there something Im missing here? (Obviosly there is)
On a personal level, I have to say that @futurethinker is probably the person I am closest to in the Steemit world. He contacted my right when I joined and asked me to join his discord channel, and I'm there ever since. He's my go-to person when I have questions or need advice on Steemit. We now are a small group of mentors in the @promo.mentors group, and I truly like all of them a lot. We have some good laughs together, and these people include @maverickinvictus, @andywong31, @tpkidkai, @raj808, @seyiodus and @dante31. It's refreshing to be around them (virtually speaking)
awww thanks Eve I love the @promo-mentors as well and have so much fun there and the way that we are helping new people in Steem is just awesome!
Thanks @evecab. I love everyone who is in the community. You all are wonderful.
Awww <3

Thank you for making this post and giving us the opportunity to share which Steemicans are our favorite!
First I want to thank you @acidyo for all of the support you give to minnows including myself and for giving newbies a sense of chance and encouragement. I appreciate every upvote you have given me since I’ve joined. It really means a lot and has helped me feel I can really do well here in this community.
My favorite Steemicans:
@canadian-coconut - She is one of the first people I found here on Steemit that shares the same views and lifestyle as I do. She homeschools, doesn’t care for vaccinations, prefers natural medicines and has a heart and love for people. She has been the most supportive of my work/blog and gives generously to this community. She helps run the @familyprotection account to help bring awareness about the lies and deceit of the CPS and other government services. She brings truth to the light about the foster care system and how these places are destroying families. This sweet lady works many hours rewarding others for their contributions and articles for the @familyprotection cause. She has also personally helped many families dealing with the CPS and is currently in the process of working towards helping families financially that are facing troubles with the system and need help keeping their families together. She also shares stories with us about Vaxxed, a movement that brings to light those families that have been directly affected by vaccinations.
@markwhittam - The first time I ran into his blog I knew I’d be following and supporting him. Since that day I have done so and have been upvoting and resteeming his posts. Why you ask? Because he brings so many fresh ideas to this plattform and makes you think of ways you can use your talents to better serve this community. His family is free spirited and they love to travel the world together. They too are a homeschooling/worldschooling family and they bring new ideas to the homeschooling community and ways we can get our kids active and thinking for themselves. He is the creator of the @familyprotection account and has a deep passion for this cause because he too was a product of the foster care system when he was young. He too works countless hours rewarding those that contribute to this cause and he together with @canadian-coconut are working on ways to use the funds from the @familyprotection account to start supporting these families in need. Oh and I can’t forget about the Steemit Roadshow. This go getter has been setting up his own booth and going from country to country to share Steemit to the world. Once people join he makes a special effort to make them feel welcome and supports them to encourage them to stay on the plattform. He really is an inspiring individual that loves his family and this community. I thank him too for all of his support with my work/blog!
@fathin-shihab - I really love this Steemian lady for what she brings to the plattform. She brings fresh new ideas and amazing talent with her sewing and creative skills! This talented woman designs her own sewing patterns and will make a post that shows you how she draws and writes them up. Then she’ll show a picture series or make a video of the process. She is also cold blooded with her 3D printer! She makes all kinds of Steemit and Steem fashion (jewelry, wearables etc.) and even chocolate you can actually eat!!! You can buy these Steemit souvenirs from her with Steem. She usually lets you know what’s up for sale. She too loves her family and shares some of those special moments with us. I love that she is not stingy in sharing her how to’s with us. Since we first met she has encouraged, supported and inspired me on how to make my posts better. I now share the process of my crochet work and love doing so!
@apanamamama - This lady right here...I consider her to be my closest friend here on Steemit! We have sooooo many things in common and we share a lot together even outside of this plattform. She is a Christian as I am, she homeschools, she loves crafting, has five children as I will have soon (our fifth baby is due this June 😃) and she also has a love for helping and supporting people in this community. We met from our Monday initiatives. She was sharing her beautiful quilts with us for #Makeitmonday and I had started the initiative #NeedleWorkMonday. She started joining in with us on Monday’s and using the tag along with her tag and it was peaches from there. She is one of the leaders and on the committee for @thesteemengine who supports and curates good valuable content and showcases it with ‘The Daily Whistle Stops’ curation post. We try to keep each other updated and in the know about things we know each other would be interested in. She is also a proud supporter and writer for the @familyprorection account. I love this lady! 💜
@crystalize - Let me tell you about a leader who is quick to take action! I ran into her blog and saw one of her posts about lampshade making. It blew my mind how beautiful it was and how she herself made it with her own hands. I immediately invited her to join us for #NeedleworkMonday and within a few hours she responded back she would be there. Not only was she there but she immediately stepped up and to help me out with the organization of this initiative. She reached out to me and asked me what she could do to help get the word out about our Monday’s. I told her if she runs into any blogs involving a needle craft to invite them on. That same night and many nights after she spent hours inviting people to join us. She is now my partner and co-chair of the #NeedleWorkMonday initiative and I don’t see how I was doing this without her. She organized a contest to get our initiative a logo made and it is so nice. It was created by @coinbelly! (see below) She works tirelessly with me to upvote and comment on every #NeedleWorkMonday post. We believe in supporting and encouraging one another as we share our creations and passions. We really want the needle arts to be a big part of Steemit and our initiative is growing every week! Oh and I can’t forget she is my ear when I need to vent about people misusing and abusing our tag lol! 😄
*So there ya have it, my favorite Steemicans that I share so much with and am truly grateful for!!! 😊❤️
:) Thanks for the mention! You are definitely my closest Steemit friend I've never met in real life. :) This is a pretty great comment - it could be its own post. :) I need to get sewing on some baby girl boots. :) They'll have to be mailed when my parents come to see me in April.
Absolutely! I meant EVERY word! I hope someday in this lifetime we will get to meet in person. I know we were meant to be connected and I just really hope it just won’t be online. You are truly special and I am so thankful to have found you! ❤️
It’s funny you say that because I thought about making this my own post which I still think I will! 😉
I am so thrilled about those quilted baby boots! Only if you have time I really don’t want you to feel pressured. You know if anyone understands about not having a lot of time on their hands it’s me lol!!! Thank you so much for being willing to do this for me!!! 😘
Oh my goodness I just saw this @crosheille! You are too kind and I truly appreciate the wonderful things you have said here. It is my honor to work with you to facilitate the #NeedleworkMonday goals, and together I know we can move a mountain of yarn---Heee! Again, I'm so grateful!
Awww of course! You are so welcome! I really appreciate you and wanted to share that with everyone! Haaaa!!!!! Yes together we can move mountains of yarn, lol I love that!!! 😄😘
My favorite steemian is definitely @anomadsoul .His lifestyle is just simply awesome. I have a dream to travel around the world as a travel photographer one day and he is doing this right now and exploring different cultures. I am a sucker for culture so I definitely look forward to his updates here on steemit. I also love the fact that he organizes awesome contests- contests that make a lot of people search for art and life as it is. I havent won any of his contests yet but I absolutely love the fact that he organizes them and makes judicious ise of his VP.
Another steemian I admire is @surpassinggoogle . I am quite sure close to every regular steemian would have heard or learnt about him and the awesome work he does supporting minnows especially those from 3rd world countries. His #untalented tag contains a lot of awesome works and he manages to curate and resteem and upvote all these posts... he truly is an inspiration to this community.
Lastly, another steemian I admire is @gringalicious . Well I do not know a lot about her but lets face it, shes pretty, is freaking talented and is a photographer and artist.. not a lot beats that in my opinion. Cheers!!!
great question! i was just thinking about some of my favorite steemians this morning :)
the first one that comes to mind is @cabelinsday... he is a stellar cosmic ultrasonic love steeming kinda steemian! he is lately holding down a Steemit Vision Quest series you should def check out #svq... he makes steemit brighter just by being himself!!
another one i love is @kiaraantonoviche -- she is a very humble steemian- each week she curates a homesteader digest --- each week, for months! that scours the servers and sends posts and contests from the best of the week. that's a true labor of love! did a mention she does that every week for humble rewards?!
another one I LOVE is @schoonercreek (who i personally introduced to steem and she's steemin strong!), her posts are consistently amazing!! and so down to earth and beautiful. definitely someone to follow.
last but not least (though there are so many more i can highlight!), @eco-alex, the leader of our #ecotrain is truly a steemian to look at! he's hustling so much good stuff all over the blockchain, like bringing all of us ecotrain passengers together, thinking of interesting topics for us to write about. he's got great photos and built an eartship in india.. this guy is cool!!
i could go on! these are few that are on the top of my mind tonight... great post @acidyo!! thanks <3!
Awesome list, thanks! The only one I know is @cabelindsay as he is a curator for @ocd and I'm really glad to have him on the team! :)
yeah! it's so good to life others up... love initiatives like this... shine the spotlight !! @cabelindsay is one cool dude!!
I don't think I actually have favourite one, but the person who got my most attention was an actually new-comer which brings a lot of value to the community. He has only 1 post right now but he spreads a lot of value through his comments - @sblue crypto / IT side.
Another really good steemian on art and digital photo side of story is @vmoldo. This guy is indeed special with all his posts, editing and style.
I also consider myself a good example on the crypto-side of posts, that when I post about cryptocurrencies and create detailed, nicely written reviews on ICOs / different crypto gems that I find out there. Although lately my posts were diversified as I feel like steemit can be used like this as well - posting whatever you like and being a random ma'facker! 🤣🤣
