RE: What supermarkets are good for
Delighted to discover diving serves a purpose! I can't wait for hipster season to be over. Boys, have we nothing better to be getting on with, indeed?
That eye-contact issue is very much being discussed at the minute, don't you find? The discussion is going tediously slow. The heart of the matter constantly entirely missed - not by you.
I would remain dogged (the word of the day) in saying those burns are beautiful works of art (since the Guernica is also art) which could educate a soul or two. Granted, in the meantime it makes your own life darn miserable half the time, staring up into the void that is society.
By the by, something totally different and practical, what do you make of this creativecoin? And why are downvotes so good to have.... Very confused. soyrosa has a lot to inform me on but it makes no sense to me to layer up the blogsites. Is it like distributing your oliveoil to one supermarket and another? Greater chance of sales? But is the currency worth the same? I have totally lost the plot as far as the wallet bit goes. I have an enormous amount of steem I wonder what to do with.
Oh my, only finding this after writing an answer to the first part. Ok, the Steem wallet was split off from the blog site and there now are several different front ends, Steemit being one of them, but now there is also Steempeak, Palnet and Partiko. I haven't really explored any of these yet, but I do have a login for Palnet on the insistence from Lynds'. Yes there are different tokens for some of these, but I haven't really explored what they can do or how that all works.
What would you like to do with your Steem? You can power it up so your votes and curation rewards are higher. Once you have more than 500 SP you can also delegate your SP to help others with less than 50SP so they can post more. To cash out I convert to Litecoin and use that Wallet to send it to a local exchange who will then deposit it directly into my bank account after conversion to Euros. It seems you have completely ignored the Steem aspect of Steemit, no matter, there is plenty of help.
In the Netherlands there are several local exchanges, but I don't know if they cater to the UK. I'm sure there have to be a few in/around London.
Not so interested in London.
Never thought about cashing out. Hardly worth it (119 dollars) - and I'm not putting in any of my own money (I haven't got) to make a swift profit (somehow magically). I dont know how to read the graphs or translate my intuition into smart investments. I'd need a tutor on a regular basis. But helping others, might be a thing I'll look into. It was the plan at the end of round one. Were we not into powering down at one stage? Is it wise to power up at all? Sigh. Back to the old question : what am I doing here?
I'm sure if I make a bit of an effort I might start to come up with a cunning strategy, but it could detract from the creative side. It calls for allies and specialists clearly. Slowly they are popping out of the woodwork for me. May be running a few more thoughts like these past you in the near future, if it's not inconvenient.
Inconvenient? You? Jamás! Right now, I don't see Steem going up anytime soon. There are several reasons for that, but I won't bore you with the details. I powered up a bunch of steem, but for me it is play money. I had powered down about 1700 steem and day traded altcoins with that until it turned over about 5 times and what I have in Steem now is part of that, I just brought it back to where it came from. (kind of..)
For you it depends on what you want. If you want a large audience it is not easy to achieve that here and other sites like wordpress and such may work out better. That being said, I'd love to keep you here because this platform needs a few writers with some substance, like yourself. You could become part of a community of writers, but they would expect you to power up and some return votes. I never got into that, not because I wasn't invited, but I don't want to be stuck reading the same people all the time ( yeah right, what am I doing now right?). If you want I can power up some more Steem and delegate the SP to you so you'd have more wiggle room without tying down your own stake. This would also give you the time to figure out if you like having the additional SP or if it leaves you not caring either way. I do have to tell you that if you have no plans for cashing out, you may as well power up. For one it's safer, if your account should get hacked it would take 13 weeks for them to take your steem giving you time to recover your account before they get it all.
As to making money trading crypto, there are a number of things you can do and strategies you can follow that would suit your needs and not bore you to death watching numbers all day long. When you are ready to discus that, please hit me up.
At nearly four in the morning I shan't be looking into the trading of crypto, but I am going to sleep on it and come back with questions. I am sure you have strategies to share that are exciting enough even for me.
The tip on the steem is most useful, because I already felt this to be the first thing to do, which should also give me enough wiggle room, right? Have to discover what the conversion rate it: maybe it gives me very little power these days. There is wise amount of steem to keep in stock you once told me....? I rember finding myself forever to low on it but I can't recall for what.
I am not after more readers, au contraire. For me a focussed audience, whether they spell out my every word or not, is helpful. Water in the desert. A casual clan very exhausting. Really Wordpress is not for me. It is one big drawer or a harddrive. I write anyway, more than I ever post in a day. What do I want to share it all for? With whom? More strangers? There has to be a purpose. Not an obvious crumb on a fishing rod, but some kind of dance floor. The clue to Steemit is - what I first found so despicable - the daily turnover. But not utterly random.
The money linked to content aspect is practically diabolical. What artist won't say that. But content can also be sacred for a day. What content can actually, like a sand mandala be brushed away without having been meaningless. Like dinnertable conversation.
The money makes for a common denominator, I and the guy on the edge of the pool listing his assets and showing us his latest Porsche are on the same boat. Going absolutely nowhere. That is fascinating for an esoteric researcher. But to do the research properly, I do often feel I have to get into wallet part of Steemit. But it's not my thing to judge and approve (vote) other people's work. It hurts the teacher in me and I'm just not soft enough to encourage the whole world.
Clearly the main problem is there is not enough and diverse influx for a community that sustains the idealism of Steemit. And the money is not getting "none the wiser". The content is not effecting a single thing except the interactions in the now: but then crazy meeting up in Bangkok.... The world's a little to mad for weary little me. This world is even madder somehow, despite or because of the very normal people here. It is not that the money is bad; it is doing something. Something odd. On many fronts. Quite simply, without the money in the middle, you and I would never have met. (I don't dive, you don't knit).
The experiment for which I was sent in (we esotericists do little out of our own accord; we follow voices within, could just be rumblings from too many strawberries) has very little to do with being read and everything with my project which is in effect a 24 hour meditation. Since this is also quite taxing, I equally share your resistance to join a tribe; as if I don't have 58 + books a month to get through as it is. I need input to have output and reacting to opinion drives me round the bend. Plus I can only do superficial-polite for so long. You are the more affable of us two.
Oh, and, I'm going to have to give it some serious thought why I might not go confruta, if you get my gist, for the wallet part. Mum's the word. It was something I meant to do from the very start, something I am used to doing, backing up, contingency plans, two points of view, incognito etc, but then content took over. But for me to split myself in two might not be possible. But it might be quieter. Surely a piece of cake for a Twin? Only have to find a way to fit 48 hours in a day.
Well if you are not looking for an audience, nor interaction with many, there is no need for more than the SP you already have. Having more than 500 SP gives you a slider and allows you to vote for the work of others for less than the full 100%. At 50% you can vote 20 times a day instead of the standard 10. Since you aren't interested in cashing out, putting it in savings might make more sense as it only takes a few days to get it back out.
I can certainly appreciate the fact that Steem brought together the diver and the knitter, and you're right about me, I'm a social creature alright and thoroughly enjoy your company and musings here.
HOW does one even power up: the wallet is a new mystery to me. No buttons to click. WHERE does one go to now? Am I not still powering down continuously since that is how I left my intentions in June 2018? Where to learn more from here (before I spend 10 hours going over round-about ways, let me be wise and ask you as my whizz kid.)
Thinking on the plowed field that a wise wo/man knows must be - dutifully at least - reploughed each year, if only to discourage the weeds, one counts the odds (always a rough estimate for this a-caluculated woman) of harvest here as minimal. Crows, bad weather, and much much drought, it is a small miracle indeed (considering your persona here: what you look - not - like, what you post, and the early stages of misanthropy I am beginning to develop) that I ever spoke a word to you at all. But what is it that Fleetwood Mac sings, again? I believe in miracles - and small efforts - that bring out the highly mauled social creature again.....
Much will be learned here until such time that I am at liberty to explain more. Got to make breakfast for someone who just got up. Use your posting key to access your Wallet, and use your active key to power up or down, and never use you main key.

Ok, I'm back. To reveal the controls to your Wallet log in with your posting key, once logged in, you will see arrows to drop down menus. You can then choose the function you want after which you'll be prompted to use your active key.
I knew someone with severe burn scars she got as a child, but I never experienced that as repulsive, on the contrary, I thought she was beautiful as did many. It's also a matter of perspective, her wounds healed over and left scars, mine won't.
I really liked, no, loved building, adapting and repairing that union between Human and Machine. The interpersonal contact wasn't always easy though. How to deal with emotions when all you know is machines? What do you say to a 29 year old quadriplegic who walked home instead of getting behind the wheel drunk, only to be stuffed in a wheel chair for life by another drunk who made the opposite decision? How to tell a mother she needs to back off when I need to communicate with her child, the paraplegic wheel chair pilot. There are no books..
The only thing I couldn't take was being on call 24/7 for a 3 state area with no end in sight and an employer whose only motivator was profit and more interested in me selling parts rather than solving problems.
Yes, eye contact is most definitively a good thing. The oxen are slow, but the earth is patient. Confucius perhaps?
