My house in the digital universe - spirajn.com
After many weeks working in the shadows, I finally could launch my personal website linked to Steemit and monetized (I must rather say verified) with BAT, the Basic Attention Token of the Brave Browser.
My website already launched in our digital universe
This is a wonderful and important step in my journey to build a web of philosophical and cultural initiatives that reflect the profound and rare values of my little soul; values that bloomed in my personality after many spiritual crises and the rejection of world's priorities.
In these moments I understand more the great importance of vocation in the life of every individual. The feeling that you get when you really follow the call of your heart, is the ecstatic sweet feeling of integrity that so many thinkers understood as the fulfillment of our human possibilities.
On that issue, I've feel my heart always touched by this meaningful speech of Steve Jobs —helped by the lovable melody of chillstep—.
Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking, don't settle.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma —which is living with the results of other people's thinking—. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
~Steve Jobs
My website is still unfinished though, but that doesn't represent a problem as it is well formed enough to serve as a good house for my intellectual and artistic products. It is my central base in the digital universe —a universe very central to me as a transhumanist cyberpunk—, from which I will be broadcasting the knowledge I've gathered along a whole life of empirical exploration into the heart of the world.
In next weeks I will be posting a series of explanations about the philosophical pillars of my worldview —humanitism, essentialism, autonomism, transhumanism, protoshamanism and so on—, while I develop the last features of my website and prepare myself for the launch of my video series.
I hope you will get inspired by the view of these fruits from my personal garden, and that they make you follow my efforts and maybe support them according to your possibilities and desires.
So, I invite you to my site. Please take a walk on the wild side, through my personal kingdom of shining shadows and spiritual jewels. They are there for all people of good will… sona sewi wile tawa jan pona.
PS right now my site is only in English, but I'll have ready the Spanish and Esperanto versions in the next weeks.
You can share my writings on your social networks and websites; but be so kind as to inform my authorship, as well as the source of the text with a link to my blog.

Dear @spirajn
Welcome back after such a long break. It's great to have you back again :)
How come? :) Profits were not huge I guess?
Did you use wordpress to create that site? Did you ever consider wix.com or http://webwavecms.com/ to build sites?
I hope you will manage to build some traffic to your site. It's a huge challenge in current days, since people tend to visit social media platforms more often and blogging websites are turning into ghost-towns.
ps.
I just replied to your previous comment: https://steemit.com/palnet/@spirajn/pvde3l

Hey there, my friend. Yes, I've just seen your another comment. Thanks for all.
Well, not exactly. I said that for two reasons:
First, monetizing with Brave doesn't work exactly like AdSense —that rewards you directly for every visit—. In the Brave Browser, people have first to possess some BAT coins in the browser wallet, either by depositing them or by earning, enabling Brave Ads (or by airdrops). And then they must select you as a supported site, or maybe perform a direct tip to your site with their BATs. So, maybe someone visits your site but you won't receive BATs from his wallet, because he didn't select you as a beneficiary.
However, I prefer it that way because I agree with the ideal of a web free of abusive ads tracking you everywhere. People must have the chance to accept or reject ads. And services like Steemit and Patreon are creating a culture of content creation supported directly for people interested in that content. That's very honest: if people isn't interested in your message, your initiatives won't last. I hope people will get interested in my messages.
The second reason is that I created my site recently, so I haven't received any coin yet. I am just a verified content creator, with a site ready to accept tips.
Yes, it is built on Wordpress. I considered other alternatives but Wordpress was my preferred one because the @steempress plugin is very important for me, indispensable. I really want to obtain the best of Steem. Furthermore, Wordpress is open-source software, strong and well maintained, and also that harmonizes with my ideals.
Thanks for your hope. I hope that too. Maybe I'll get some success, as my use of social media will lead repeatedly to my site. In that way, if I really succeed in those platforms, I'll also succeed in my site.
Dear @spirajn
Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me. I never knew how Brave is rewarding people and I found your comment super valuable.
Enjoy your monday :)
Yours, Piotr
