Very beautiful story 
Thank you for the sharing post

Well said. Early adopters always have better chance to attain maximum profit. As the steem is progressing it is bringing more enterprenuer here in this platform which simply means more competition which eventually will make earning more difficult. So it's a right time to grab as many STeem power as you can. Let's hope SBD price will go up. It will be really helpful for new user to collect maximum SP. Thanks for shairng @exyle

Hej @exyle

i m new at steemit and i don´t understand the System with the posts. There are so many new posts in seconds. Nobody can react correctly to posts

@exyle,
STEEM is becoming more and more harder to earn now! For next 27 years we all get 3 times of market supply in this currency! So, in future STEEM price will go to moon!

Cheers~

There is no "competing" when people simply allocate Steem to themselves or the highest bidder. The analogy of Bitcoin mining difficulty breaks down there because mining difficulty increases for all miners, whereas there is no difficulty increase for self-voters or vote sellers. In fact it gets easier as they allocate themselves more stake with which to vote.

You are very right @exyle, there are so many people mining steem right now compare to before. 

But we still have to keep moving and continue working harder and hope for the better future of steem. 

I believe in the future and I know there is better future ahead. 

Thanks @exyle for sharing

I’ve been harping on this idea in a lot of discussions lately!  One of my favorite simple examples is...

There’s roughly 250 million Steem in existence and a 10% inflation rate, resulting in 25 million Steem distributed from the rewards pool each year. *(This is a simplification)* Imagine we grow to a very modest 10 million users... That would mean that on average each user will earn just 2.5 Steem per year! And of course 2.5 is the average, what would be accomplished if everyone earned equally. The median earning will be far less. Average non professional, non entrepreneurial users will assuredly earn less than 1 Steem per year.

The Steem blockchain is a wonderful toolset, but not a cornucopia of cash! We are all very fortunate to have been here at the outset. This is very pertinent when setting expectations with new incoming users. It’s up to them whether they feel fortunate at their still early arrival, or disheartened by the road ahead.

SMTs may prove critical in enabling feelings of growth, accomplishment, and reward for the mass of users, even while Steem balances grow more stagnant.

People arent upvoting willy nilly anymore.  Great info.  Thanks for making it simple.

Definitely its going beyond the reach in some days it will be hard to earn even in fractions too from new comers time don't come again and again you just have to make use of it

Most people aren’t here for the STEEM. They are here for the USD. 

You can’t pay your bills and groceries with STEEM, you pay them with fiat.

I am pretty new around here and I am curious was the rewards pool always at about 740,000 STEEM or it got "filled" over time? I joined in February and since then it is still at about that 740 k mark.

>What I do know is that every STEEM will be harder and harder to obtain for everyone in the future.

That's the logic brother,  you are right with this assertion, the more people coming on board the more it would be hard getting more payout, since those investing in the system is smaller compared to the people trying to earn it all. I believe , just like you have said, it will be more difficult getting more steem in the nearest future so the desire to hold on to the steem you have at present should not be over emphasize.  Long live steemit,  long live #scaredsoul.

Mark @exyle You are Correct and the People that leave STEEM and go into FIAT may very well be disappointed in a year or Two that they did not stay Powered UP.......

As a new user this is hard to read, I hope I could be able to share good content and earn some money

Yes i agree it seems to be getting harder,  but like you said that's all part of the growth of the chain.  I'm happy I've been here a year at least! Great article @exyle, hope you're doing well! We'll have to chat again sometime soon!

This is bad news for the newcomers, this article has the right info which no one wants to admit but reality is reality.

Wow! That was something. where was I when steem was that good and that easy. The thing is I don't even look at my sp. I just powerup when I can then sell sbd. I want to be able to have as much stake as I can afford and be able to enjoy this ride to the very end. I came for the fun.

This is a nice example @exyle and I totally agree. Mining is going to be harder and harder. 
But if the price of Steem reaches at 250$ mark, I am pretty sure that everyone around here will be more than happy. From top investors to minnows. 

Let’s take me for example. Right now my vote worth more or less around.20 at 100%. If steem’s price goes to 250$ my vote will have a value of 20$. Imagine those who have a vote worth 100$ nowadays...

It will be same occurrence in rising up

Thank you for confirming - I'm not touching my STEEM!

I just joined 4 months ago, I entered just in the time where bid bots took over (I am not again bid bots if used wisely to promote high quality content, but there is use, and abuse sadly) I have not used them, frankly, kind of naively want to think I can make a true engagement here. I have grown a little disenchanted, the more people (and welcome be) the more difficult it's to mine, and if you consider the extra "rigging" factor I would consider I'm doing fairly well but I've been lucky to always have some "random" vote that saves the post from zero land. I try my best, and still determined to try my best a little longer.

Wow! Way to start my weekend on a downer :)  Just kidding, I know it isn't necessarily a bad thing and I know that it is just a reality of the platform.  I think it is important for new users to see things like this and understand that Steemit isn't necessarily a gold mine.  Many of the users with high payouts have been here a long time reinvesting in the system by powering up their rewards into SP.  It's a long crawl for us newbies, but the platform still offers a ton of value.

I also think that it will be very difficult soon get some steem. :) 
What more here come users ... the more we have users who not get steem. 
Just now collect and only use it when you very needed.

I'm in a Steemit slump today @Exyle.

Please post some uplifting words for the newbies. I know you've got them in you. You know that stuff about us being early adopters and how brill the block chain is compared to others etc. etc.

Failing that send ice cream! 😂
