@actifit is again leading the STEEM Ecosystem

@actifit is doing it again! They have launched another new functionality, from now on you can exchange your AFIT tokens for STEEM at the STEEM-ENGINE market.

In order to allow all users and investors the use of this new functionality, you need to have AFITX tokens in your wallet which are going to be airdropped in the coming hours, with a maximum of 10 AFITX per account (equivalent to 100 STEEM at the current price).

In short, For every 1 AFITX owned, you can move daily up to 100 AFIT.

That means, AFIT current price is 0.05 STEEM/AFIT , so, at the current price it is 5 STEEM a day just with 1 AFITX!

But, wait, AFITX seems to be even more important than the rewarding AFIT token… The more AFITX token you have in your wallet the higher your user rank and so the higher you will be rewarded in AFIT, STEEM, ZZAN, SPORTS, PAL.

Also have a look on the Token description:

AFITX is a new special benefits token for Actifit users & AFIT token holders. Holding this token enables users to: – Daily Move AFIT tokens to S-E – Increases user rank – Increases post rewards via our different rewarded tokens – Receive priority when exchanging AFIT for STEEM upvotes – Participate in contests – AFITX will constitute the basis for our future Exchange framework

So here I am now buying some AFITX while exchanging already some of my AFIT for STEEM…

Actually, it is working somehow as an AFIT POWER-DOWN in automatic, so, seems that you have to select the amount you want to send daily to the Steem-engine exchange so, be sure to choose a sustainable amount because it can affect your User Rank.

For me this is a Clear WIN-WIN again!!!!

Congratulations and thanks to @mcfarhat and @actifit team for the excellent work.

STEEM is within the Top 10 Crypto-Blockchain Projects…

…according to the 13th Update of The Center for Information and Industry Development (CCID), under China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

China Publishes New Rankings of 37 Crypto Projects

STEEM is ranked 9th while BITCOIN is 11th on a list of 37 Crypto-Blockchain projects.

EOS is the 1st project, it makes sense to me since, if I am not wrong, some of the most important Block Producers are located at China.

I am happy to see that STEEM is up at some of the most important Blockchain Ranks. Surely, projects as @wherein are doing an excellent work there…

It is weird that Cryptocurrency trading is still banned at China…I don’t think this status will last for long since also the government is willing to understand the technicalities and applicabilities of this technology…

In the meantime, as usual, keep calm and steem on!

Monthly growth: Crossing the 6000 SP

One month more at the STEEM blockchain.

Almost 26 since I started at this blockchain. During all this time I have never powered down.

I have accumulated all my SP rewards coming from Author or Curation and I also have bought a few times STEEM and power up mostly.

Despite I have withdrawn some of my liquid rewards as well, I have been focused on building my SP stake, so, part of those liquid rewards have gone to feed also my Steem Power.

Today I am at the moment to cross the 6000 SP on my main account, 2600 SP out of the 6000 SP have come exclusively from Author and Curation rewards.

…and from those 2600 SP, at least 2200 SP have been obtained during the last 12 months.

This month, my Author Rewards have decayed a little compared with the two last months:

Perhaps the current correction on the market has had some effect on the trend…I guess..


However, my Curation rewards have marked another All Time High:


So, something I am doing well, at least…

Compounding both charts:

So, it has not been a bad year at all in terms of building my account.

If I manage to maintain the uptrend here, 8000 SP can be an achievable target by the end of the year…if not earlier since the Market is offering an excellent opportunity nowadays.

Keep accumulating!

My opinion regarding creating different accounts to upvote with different tokens…

I have seen many steemians that I follow creating alternative accounts in order to upvote with the different steem-engine tokens airdropped during the last weeks.

I confess I also created one in order to deviate the Good-Game tokens I received, on which I feel as not identified myself with the trybe created, in order to upvote with it to certain accounts, mostly in automatic fashion using the amazing tool created by @holger80 called Steemrewarding and following the idea of @abh12345 .

There are people that have created dozens of these alternative accounts and, despite I appreciate the upvotes coming from them, I don’t think the main aim of the Tribes was thought to reward people in “automatic”.

The main “aim” is to support those persons that fit your interest on a particular tribe by manually curating , and mostly, if you feel that the post deserves to be upvoted.

If these people you follow is rewarded with an alternative account but not with your main, sometimes happen that the “prize” you are giving or demonstrating towards your “colleague” is somehow very little indeed.

That’s why, after having tested my alternative account on Good-Game tokens (GG) I am not going to further create alternatives accounts, if I follow you and I find that you deserve my upvote I will reward you with all the tokens ascribed to the post, including STEEM, PAL, LEO, SPORTS, ZZAN, CCC, STEM or whatever the tribe!

What I am not going to do is to upvote you with @toofasteddie.porn and then with my main account because, besides to be a really waste of time, that’s not the aim for what Trybes have been created IMHO.

However, this is my personal opinion and maybe yours may differ.

Surely this is not the best approach for having an excellent ROI approach but, I don’t care. I have so much work lately that I don’t think the prize of doing it deserves my effort…

Don’t become crazy man!

@toofasteddie

p.s: I think I should use #creativecoin here… at least it has been original, hasn’t it?

I have to say that I am not in favor of doing such a thing

How worth is your Staked PAL?

In case you don’t know, you have an amazing tool called “STEEM SCOT Voting Power” created by @blockchainstudio on which you can perform staking, claiming, check Voting Power or change your weight multiplier there.

It also tells you how much in STEEM is your Staked Token worth.

For instance, I have 1210 PAL staked:

So, according to the tool and also to the current trading price of PAL vs STEEM, in my case it is worth 508 Steem, ie 128 $…

Not bad taking into account that my investment has been almost zero!

The same you can do with any Steem-engine token, just change my user name and the Token symbol in the link below:

https://economicstudio.github.io/vp/?a=toofasteddie&t=pal#

For LEO I have the following:

1318 LEO = 160 STEEM

Not bad at all, isn’t it?

Love #newsteem !

@toofasteddie

Should I STAKE or should I TRADE?

Darling you got to let me know
Should I
STAKE or should I TRADE?
If you say that token is mine
I’ll be here ’til the end of time
So you got to let me know
Should I
STAKE or should I TRADE?


This is the question I have every time I open my wallet at STEEM-ENGINE .

Every week a new tribe and correspondent token is launched and despite I have staked the majority of my LEO , PAL and STEM coins , which are the coins on which I feel myself more identified, I do not know what to do with the others…

I have sold some and bought more PAL and LEO with them but, frankly besides an excellent income on those named, I am getting more and more from other tokens which I don’t know what to do with them, every day.

My WALLET has more than 36 Dollars of Non-staked tokens and is increasing day by day, which is fantastic but maybe I am losing ant opportunity with some of them for not having them staked…

Should I stake JAHM, INT or CCC?

Anyone knows if they have future?

I did create an alternative account on which I delegate the majority of the GOOD GAME TOKEN and so, I am not wasting my own SP on steem while upvoting users of that tribe… Should I do the same with INT, JAHM or CCC?

Or should I sell them and stake more STEEM/PAL/LEO?


Anyway, I prefer to have these kind of doubts than not having any…

#newsteem is just amazing!!!

Investing-Engaging-Compounding / SBI Sponsoring [W9]

Another stagnant-price week = Another Good Chance for building your account on the Steem blockchain = More chances to reinforce your Engagement

I don’t expect a brilliant recovery of the STEEM price in the coming short term future, however we cannot deny that this price level is perfect for reinforcing your SP. I don’t think we will see STEEM prices lower than the bottom reached lately unless BITCOIN and the whole market collapse again, of course…

STEEM price has crashed dramatically during the past weeks and months due mainly in my opinion to the permanent selling pressure of our friends of STEEMIT INC, however it is possible that STEEM has found a solid place around the 80th position out of the top 100 altcoins at the cryptomarket.

The chart below shows the weekly amount of Steem withdrawn to the exchanges (data extracted from @penguinpablo ‘s weekly report), as you can see, this week more than 1.8 Million Steem has been sent to the exchanges, 300,000 Steem more than the previous week:



But the position of STEEM at the Total Market Cap during the past 2 weeks have not changed so much despite we have lost capitalisation:



This is because even if the amount of the Liquid steem increases continuously, there are other altcoins that are suffering a selling pressure higher than STEEM even if they don’t have such increase of tokens coming to the market every week.

So I think this is very positive for STEEM.

Sellers prefer to sell other altcoins than Steem because there is a REAL VALUE in this crypto, better than any other useless altcoin. And you know why?

  • We have USE CASE
  • We have the best Community
  • We have the best developers
  • We have the best DApps out there

As I said, there will not be better time to build your SP than nowadays.

SBI Sponsoring

My SBI shares for this week are going to @kokoliso and @serlanvet . I am very happy for having met them here despite both are at Steem since quite some time already. Lately I have interaacted with them a lot and I think we have engaged very well, remember that “engagement” is one of the three magic words fro anyone to success at this blockchain, the other two are INVESTING and COMPOUNDING.

@kokoliso is an excellent photographer and traveller. Lately he has shared his experiences at Australia but now he is back at home (guess is San SEbastian in the Basque Country)

IMG_1555_s.jpg

@serlanvet is a guy from north of Aragon, an historical region in the north of Spain. He is also an excellent photographer and naturalist who shares original pics and nice bucolic scenarios from the countryside near him.

6ncldtc298.jpg

Both of them get 2 shares of the @steembasicincome initiative, hope it will help them to reach minnowhood soon , despite I know it is not so much but helps at least…

All in all, they represent really good candidates for the #tenKminnows @steevc initiative,


And that’s all for this week folks!

Steem on.
