Alasdair Wilkins on January 24, 2018 posted an article in inverse.com that got me really thinking on how few folks make use of opportunities and many loose out due to procrastination! As reported below;

Rapper-turned-entrepreneur 50 Cent confirmed Wednesday that he had accidentally made millions from his decision to accept bitcoin as a form of payment for his 2014 album Animal Ambition. He’s not the only world-famous recording artist who years ago considered accepting bitcoin — but unfortunately for Snoop Dogg, he appears to be the only one who actually followed through.

Furthermore according to same source,

50 Cent’s cryptocurrency windfall is a result of bitcoin’s surging price. He had about $450,000 in album sales from bitcoin users, which in mid-2014 was the equivalent of 700 bitcoins. But now the price has leapt from $662 to north of $11,000, his long-neglected bitcoin wallet is closer to $8 million.

Interestingly,

Seven months before 50 Cent released Animal Ambition, Snoop Dogg tweeted out the same idea, though it’s fair to say one can detect just a pinch of sarcasm.

Quote from the tweet

Snoop Dogg

@SnoopDogg

"My next record available in bitcoin n delivered in a drone."

Did Snoop Dogg follow up, the answer is no which is similar to what many of us are doing with steem.

I guess Snoop Dogg is regretting now, which is how many steemians will be regretting in next 4 years if they loose out due to procrastination. So lets stack up steem now and keep powering up!

Currently, we are witnessing the bullish trend of Steem and SBD and how many steemians are rejoicing due to improved income and value of their posts. Soon we shall have many millionaire bloggers in steem and below are my reasons;
