Thanks Lieutenant Dan! I have been enjoying your YouTube vids immensely. I'm a water scientist and am interested in the ownership and control of water and how it can be made PUBLIC when the use of cryptocurrency helps drive fractional ownership of water rights.
Hi @zackcovell...can you explain a bit more about the ownership and control of water? I have a few stocks in the water/ suer market as we speak and it seems we are similarly interested in the same thing, would love to get more detailed information if you are willing to share!
I followed you let's stay in touch. It's late here and I'm headed to sleep.
Real quick though:
During a drought, senior water rights holders have privileges. Water rights are "first in time, first in right"
Water right is a legal entitlement authorizing water to be diverted from a specified source and put to beneficial, non-wasteful use. Water rights are property rights.
The holders do not own the water itself, they possess the right to use it.

Thank you @zackcovell....this is very interesting indeed! I am also following you and on your FB account :) Talk to you soon!
Cool! Very interesting... looking forward to your posts on that!
Thanks for the video! I'm new to steemit. You say "lots of people are coming so you don't make as much because the price is higher." I think there are a lot of moving parts in that equation. Can you help me understand?
I assumed:
Overall the participation on steemit has grown even as the value of steem on the exchanges "zigzag". For instance this past week all cryptos including steem have been down. But activity on steem is not? If what you are saying is true it must relate to people's cashout value, seeing a decline and losing interest. And you are saying essentially to HODL, not just your investment, but continue to be steady with participation/content. Another factor is that cashing out here takes time and in that time STEEM is up again. I know you are focussed on the community's involvement in price and value, but I wonder how many are invested in STEEM without participating in steemit.
I read this blockchain is producing roughly $100k per day that becomes part of the power of the steem engine. So more active users does mean more division of that power. Is that directly related to STEEM price?
Think in larger "zigzags". The price going up over several months will attracted a wave of people, price correcting over several months will mean a lot of those people who came will lose interest. We're somewhere in the middle of STEEM/Steemit's 2nd major zigzag right now IMO.
If you believe that Steemit has long term potential then you'll be able to take big steps forward during the times when everyone else thinks it's dying. Most people thought Steem was dying from Nov-April and they all left... but those of us that kept at it made significant gains... This cycle will probably happen multiple times before Steemit is a mainstream success.
Also activity on Steemit is not super correlated with price movement right now. but it has been very correlated in the past and it will be again in the future.
Thanks for the response, insight, and interesting speculation! I wasn't really aware that STEEM traded at $4.50 USD in July 2016 and then slid to $.10 USD by October (4 months). It then fell even below $.8 cents going to March 2017. It makes sense that as you say during that period from October to March people lost interest in STEEM. Meanwhile BTC didn't take any such hit in price. I think it's important to notice that the price slide we are on now from the high at the beginning of this month of June correlates with the greater slide in BTC and Ethereum. Has the downtrend of our 2nd zigzag pattern started? Can a social media platform survive another giant exodus? I'm not sure volatility in investment vehicles and social media are comparable, but steem certainly is a good experiment in the correlation.
@dan-atstarlite I'm curious to your opinion: What caused the price to drop last fall? Why did people get back in this spring?
Is there a way to see historical steemit usage stats?
Thanks! Very helpful & well said. Stayin busy while the sun ain't shining. In it for the long haul right behind ya. Steem on!
This was very informative especially the leaving engaging comments in your field of interest. My blogs plan on being related to construction and carpentry so leaving comments related to these fields would be more engaging then just posting on stuff im not passionate about. Thanks for the tip :)
Yeah and as steemit grows you'll find more and more people with those interests. There's still lots of opportunity to carve out some of those communities.
Last but not least, Dan, I'm so glad that i found your Steemit page and followed. So far all your videos give very solid advice and you certainly deserve a huge success! And i'm going to resteem this post again. :) Thank you thank you!
P.S. Hope i've proven that i'm not a bot. lol
If you are a bot... your AI would be something I'd be very interested in knowing more about lol!
Hang in there with number 2... creating good content is far from easy!
Very good tips. I consider the most important the second tip: Post good quality articles/videos/photos, because in the long term they will catch the attention of other people and "whales".
Where is the lake in your video?
Upvoted!
Waterloo On Canada. Wish it was more of a lake though.. it's actually more like a big muddy pond lol
I like this explanation a lot more than some of the really technical posts I've seen about how to maximize earnings (which, at this stage in my understanding of the platform, are mostly lost on me). In essence: be authentic, post great content, build community, and hang in there for the long term. That I can manage!
Exactly, it's really just common (or should be lol) sense
Great vlog, loved the first part....yours truly jaybot ;)
lol I'm totally ignoring you;)
Man, you got rich by steemit and obviously you are playing GOLF now, right ?
lol not rich yet... but I do plan to retire on a golf course I buy with STEEM;)
so whats your handicap? i can only count my handicap in steem ;-)
This is good advice, and it supports my theory that original content over re-hashed and re-posted articles will work out better in the long run.
I'm still learning the ropes regarding Steem as a currency and token, so I look forward to your future explainer vids on the subject.
I'm liking the platform so far, but the "competition curve" does seem steep on the "new" page. I guess I'll just have to stick around to get my rhythm and see what works.
It can take a little while to figure it all out... but it's well worth wild IMO. And once Steemit breaks into sub-communities (coming soon) the "new" pages for each community will probably not seem so steep
Upvoted and resteemed :-)
Thanks :)
Welcome :-)
Thank you Dan for the most informative post that I needed to hear I was getting discouraged but I'm feeling better now, looking forward to your next video peace🌿
Yeah, it takes some time but I think you'll be pretty happy with where you stand 6 months from now if you keep at it! we're all still early adopters
I appreciate your response some days are hard because I just want to share my life a others are sharing theirs with me , I'll keep my chin up thank you😊
Thanks @dan-atstarlite for sharing these amazing tips, this will really going help us and i just started following your advice by commenting on your post.
alway a pleasure
For minnows I agree posting engaging comments is the best way to build followership...but after HF19 I have noticed that even good comments are not generating enough revenue...
Personally I think comment are getting more than they were before... but until I see stats on that I have do clue
Making Steem when the sun ain't shining. That is a powerful message. So always work hard and when the price of the Steem goes down work even more hard. Thanks.
exactly! when price goes down opportunity goes up
thank you for the tips .
my followers are growing so fast but incomes and post seeing is to low idk why
Followers maybe not as important as many here seem to think? I have 350+ but have never had remotely near that many people ever read one of my posts, let alone upvote it.
yeah, a lot of people just play the "follow back" game to get a lot of followers, they'll follow you just hoping that you'll follow them back. That can work to some degree, but it won't build a solid following of people who like your content.
Hmm, nice advice, lower people post so you post.. :D
Never thought that way, thanks for the vid ;)
Yip, that's the big one IMO
Thank you for these tips.
I hope they can help me be a better steemer.
Most great thing I've learnt is to invest my time when the 'sun doesn't shine'
Yip, and if you get good at predicting the future, you'll be able to find those 'sun doesn't shine' opportunities
Great tips! Conveyed in an accessible way! Thank you for that
Thanks! Hope you found something helpful
Cool video, straight to the advice, tips and tricks to work it!
Thanks! I'm always trying to be concise... I don't want to waste anyone's time
@dan-atstarlite Thanks you so much Dan for your tips, hopefully these will help me for long term.
best of luck!
You forgot tip number 5..
TO make a post of Top 4 Tips, as no one can resist a top tips post.. including me!
yeah, I guess lists are borderline clickbait lol... but they sure do work!
yes! if you have a good message to bring then im all for click bait so long as its relevant... If you are only interested in self interest then better go to Facebook and do it ;-)
You had me at rich and famous !
We all want to be superstars lol

Awesome tips! Thanks @dan-atstarlite!
Awesome tips! Thanks you @dan-atstarlite! I really liked your point about making steem when the sun don't shine. I had never though about that in terms of posting content at those times. Very good point. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for your advice!!! I am following you now C:, I am new in steemit.
Great post, I really liked the last part😜 Great advice, I'm sure the bubble will burst soon and thin the herd, but this could be a steemy summer.
Thank you Dan, again! I am in the "learning" phase and you are mentoring me without even knowing it. And, I appreciate that greatly. Now on to your next video/post. My introduction video is about ready, but I'm thinking I need to network first before posting that. Would you agree?
wow, I typed in your steemit name, and there was no poetry, but I saw your web page. I cannot internet on an Apple. However, I didn't peek, this isn't fb, but I liked your title page
Not a bot.
Human.
Promise.
Columbia Mud Puddle?
P.S. Liked the last part.
"Not only will these tips make you rich and famous lol, they'll also make the community a better place and drive demand for STEEM!"
Also Great 4 Tips @dan-atstarlite
Keep STEEM N ON,
Frank
Hey Dan I have a question, when my reputation was lower I got way more up votes then I do now. Hardly anyone looks at my stuff yet I have over five hundred followers that I up vote all the time little by little. I'm not complaining I know this is work and it takes hard work but I am at the point of what it was like when I first started, any pointers? Thank you for your time
Thank you Dan. I just joined and today is my first day out here amidst Steemers. Rather liking it too. your tips of course will help me make faster headway into this community. I'm into it for the long haul. So heave ho! :) (missing my emojis from other platforms)
