This post was inspired by many things I am seeing happening on steemit. First I would like to say that I love this platform and ever since I got here, it has done nothing but good things for my life and finances. I really appreciate what this platform has done for me and other people. With that being said I am realizing that the steemit community is not as great as I had thought. Most of the people who I have come in contact with we're cool peoples but there are always those snakes in the grass. Since I got here i've had to deal with a few people (whose names I wont mention) that fit this category. People will come on here, send you digital smiles and the whole time they will be plotting on you, or trying to take your spot.

Why you ask? Because of money & notoriety.. Money is something that has shown to cripple the world, leaving all of us at the mercy of a piece of paper. And I see the same thing happening here...everyone on here is here to make money, let's not kid ourselves. But some people here have a "I dont give a fuck" approach to things, and it's these people you have to watch out for. # If your'e new here If your new to the platform.. BE CAREFUL who you make relationships with and who you talk to. There are alot of snakes out here that would love to pick your brain and steal your ideas for what you plan to do here. I've seen it happen before and it's happened to me and I have only been here for 2 months. Obviously this is a social network and the point of being on here is to meet people and blog about stuff, but just know that not everyone here is on some "community" shit, and a lot of people here are completely full of their own egos, and will try to present to you a different person. Just like in life, when you meet new people..we almost never trust them immediately. The same goes for steemit, don't put any trust in someone with things you don't feel comfortable losing. Stay on your p's and q's and after a while it will become clearer who on this platform is genuine and who is full of shit. # Digital Drama Yes it is real..digital drama happens, and if you're new here you might not see it happening yet, but stay a while and you will. I got off of facebook 2 months ago after I got here, and I love steemit and most of the people here that I have met have been great, but there is always those "slitherers" so just watch out for them! Associating yourself with the right or wrong people will make or break you on this platform. Just stay aware with what you're doing on here if you are really trying to build a brand or a business. If you are just here to read blogs and have fun and make a few dollars sometimes, then thats cool too...this post probably doesn't pertain to you. But for you hardcore steemians who are new here and who are trying to find their way, please take head and warning to my advice. Be careful. With that being said, I'd like to thank everyone who has genuinely shown love to me and has supported me since my day one of coming here. - @whatamidoing - my brother...always has a piece of great advice for me - @jphenderson - has shown me nothing but love since day one, always respect bro - @theprophet0 - my lil bro man..we learning and building and growing together.
