Have you ever destroyed a $50 bill?
I'm not sure about you, but @papa-pepper certainly has. Was it because I believe so much in STEEM that I decided to destroy some USD as a small (and costly) protest?
Well, actually, no. I used a weed-whacker (AKA weed-eater) at work and shredded it because someone left it laying in the grass. Please keep in mind that this was not intentional. It was a missed opportunity. Honestly, I had no idea that there was a $50 bill laying on the ground. All of the sudden I just saw pieces of it laying all over the place. If I would have known that it was there, I would have just stopped and picked it up, getting $50 USD in the process.
After some thought and consideration, I believe that I actually destroyed the $50 bill two weeks earlier, the last time that @papa-pepper and @bluerthangreen cut the lawn at that particular store in St. Louis, MO. Last time, it was dark and raining, so the money would have been harder to notice.
Regardless of when it happened, it certainly did happen and no matter what I do, and cannot go back and do things differently. That $50 is forever gone now.
Of course, that is a real event that actually happened, but it is also an illustration. For many of our friends and family members who once heard us mention steemit, they missed an opportunity as well. Now that STEEM is rising, our accounts here are growing rapidly. Others look in at all the excitement and wish that they had listened. Did they miss their opportunity?
Well, they did miss an opportunity, but that does not mean that there is not another one. When I am weed-whacking now and see a $1 bill, do I remember missing out on that $50 bill and just keep working? No, I pick it up and get $1 for doing so. Just because someone has not already taken advantage of the fantastic opportunity that steemit offers does not mean that they still cannot take advantage of it now.
Enter @bluerthangreen
Much like @papa-pepper, @bluerthangreen created a steemit account last July. In that time, @papa-pepper has pretty much become a household name in the steemit community, and @bluerthangreen made one tiny post 10 months ago. My account became worth tens of thousands and his was worth a few dollars. @bluerthangreen will be the first to tell you, he missed an opportunity!
However, @bluerthangreen will also tell you that he still has an opportunity, and he plans of taking full advantage of it.
Yesterday morning I drove his truck to work so that he could make his introduction post while I drove. After seeing how much fun I've had here and hearing about so many of you, he is happy to finally be getting on board. Don't miss your opportunity to welcome @bluerthangreen to steemit!
