7 years ago I registered an account on steem/steemit with username @xpilarsteemCreated with Sketch.

in WORLD OF XPILARlast year

In the spring of 2016, I noticed a new company Steemit, Inc. that came with a cryptocurrency called Steem on the crypto exchanges, the steem coin quickly increased in value on the crypto exchanges.

This piqued my interest because I had already invested in the crypto market a few years earlier.

It took some time before I decided to invest in the coin Steem because I first had to find out about the company Steemit, Inc

After my research, when I saw that they had created a blogging community that would reward writers for their good posts, I understood that this was something new and unique. And that investors could earn steem just by giving votes from their invested steem power.

I decided to invest and set up the account @xpilar, Created 2016-07-13, 21:42 on steem/steemit and got a member number 20,757

My lucky number is 7 and the membership number contains 7 twice so I thought this would be a good investment 😊

My first investment at that time I bought approx. 26000 steem at a price between 3-4 dollars and transferred them to my steem wallet and power up

In my first time on steemit, I gave mostly upvotes to posts I liked, but when I wrote some posts myself eventually the rewards from other users disappeared, it seemed that only those who were friends voted for each other.

There weren't many competitions at that time in steemit so I thought I could contribute with activity and maybe be rewarded for my competition posts. And then I got attention, and an incredible number of participants.

Now I have friends from all over the world here on Steemit and several of them are now moderators in our Community World Of Xpilar

I would also like to say a big thank you to our moderators in WOX
who do a fantastic job in our local community and also in Steemit

In my 7 years on Steemit, I have learned a lot, but also that you can
actually have unfriended people who want to see you not succeed.

If you experience it, don't give up and you will succeed

I congratulate you on your anniversary! 7 years! It is incredibly.

It was very interesting to read your story. It's hard to imagine the feeling of an investor who spent his money on an asset whose price later fell from $3 to 15 cents. But over the years, I'm sure you've still made a profit on your investment.

At the same time, you could get much more if you delegated all of your SP. Instead, you spend a long time spending resources and effort to support the community. And it gave a long-term result. It is not for nothing that many enterprising people have gathered around you, and your community is one of the largest.

I wish you continued success and even greater returns on your investments.

Thank you @o1eh for your kind words,
Helping others to succeed is the same as achieving success yourself
Without helping others, one will not achieve success

I really appreciate you being part of our team of moderators

Dear @xpilar, I wanted to Congratulate you with such a long Stemeit life, there are many who might be here the same time but in compare to them you reach such results, you organised and maintaining the stable and strong community with good core moderators. You are actively involved in all what happening around supporting users with advises and financially, I must we remained on Steemit because of you, otherwise we might have moved to Hive from beginning on.

It is interesting to see how you came to Steemit and like many say it is very important to be at the early beginning of project and managed that, your investment definitely was worth it.

I would like to thank you for many users on Steemitfor being there and for all your support.

Happy 7th year!

Yes 7 years is a long time and for 5 years I have known you @sultan-aceh , as I have said before we are friends for life.
I think back to all the competitions we ran on steemit together and we had hundreds of participants each time, it was a fun and busy time when we had to judge all the photos that were submitted

I really appreciate you being part of our team of moderators

Greetings friend @xpilar

Beautiful trajectory you have achieved within Steemit in these 7 years, I think it is not necessary to ask you if it has been worth it because I know the love you have for the platform to whom you have given many good things since your first investment. Today he is an example to follow thanks to his hard work and commitment. I thank you for all the support you have given us since the foundation of the WOX community.

Congratulations, may you continue adding more years in this excellent platform.

Yes, I will contribute for several years on the platform because I believe that we will see steem back among the top 100 cryptocurrencies again and that many new users will come and discover what steem/steemit really is

Спасибо за вдохновляющее пожелание, @xpilar! Три года назад, когда я пришла на Steemit, ваше сообщество привлекло и вдохновило нас. И я вижу что за прошедшее с тех пор время, вы поддержали многих. Это здорово! Надеюсь, ваши затраты окупаются! Хотелось бы когда-нибудь повторить ваш путь.

Thank you for the inspiring wish, @xpilar! Three years ago, when I came to Steemit, your community attracted and inspired us. And I see that since then, you have supported many. That's great! I hope your expenses pay off! I would like to repeat your path someday.
