Thanks @nathanmars for this wonderful eye opener, i noted a number of things from you post and i will express my opinions here because of what is trending

• I was of a school of thought that my steem is not useful at all because i even see it increasing day by day and in that kind of contest, i was proposing to sell it if it was possible but it was not until a friend of mine a fellow steemian @Sembozade and @Jona12 told me my credit worthness according to what he saw in my account.

Actually i will talk about what i was told then that if am to sell it then it will mean that i will power down my account and never to be seen againg but inside me, am not here for a show but for genuine reasons of also building my repuation as a whale like @nathanmars, @starkers etc because there is something worthy to learn from them.

Why should you feed the whales who are mean?

• That will not happen here as long as you recorganize you cardinal purpose for joining a platform like this, we are here to build the community and not as short timist who are in a hurry but lets know that the future hold much for our platform. You may look at yourself as amall person but give yourself few years, things will unfold and you will also eat like a boss.

• As you have clearly pointed out, steem has the potential to break into the Bitcoin world and change things completely and also, there let no one deceive with some few steem dollars in exchange for your steem power, the crypto world keeps chnaging and this is clear that whatever you labor putting efforts, it will finally pay off.

Caution: Guard your self from beasts who intend to drag you along the dark path of taking your steem power, listen to no sweet words from whatever source, assume you have no steem power
