As to "money attracts money," I could write a rebuttal that partially refutes that, but I won't split hairs. It is a general truth, if one is willing to put the word "general" in bold letters and realize there is always a way to claw your way up from rock bottom. I did.
Still though, your point is taken.
The cryptocurrency aspect of this site is still baffling and a bit confusing, and I spend a lot of time saying "okay, that went completely over my head."
To be honest, I never thought I was going to make a great deal of money on Steemit (I say "never" in a manner that makes it sound like I've been on this site more than a scant few days; isn't that cute?), but the way I saw it was "well, I spend an ungodly amount of time writing things on Facebook that earns nothing. If steemit earns nothing, then I'm no worse off than I was on Facebook."

Thank you @patriamreminisci for taking the time to read the post. I have started following you and will be looking out for more content from you.
I really think it will be brilliant if I am wrong! If more and more people could claw their way from rock bottom, the world would be a much happier place for us all. I also wonder if this is something Steemit can help us achieve? Just think about all the people in the world whose lives could be transformed if everyone had access to a tool that they could use to make money out of nothing! It is great to hear that you successfully clawed your way up from the bottom. However, I have my doubts that majority of people around the world succeed in their attempts to do the same. There are so many other factors such as access to education, healthcare and geopolitical conditions of one's native country that contribute to one's chances of success in their attempt to find the resources to make their lives a little easier.
As to earning potential from Steemit. I think there is probably great potential. There are people who are creating content that people want to see and making good money from it. So although you do not intend to make money out of this platform, I think there is a great potential :)
I obviously make money out of my day job which I think is more lucrative right now than my Steem posts :D
Sorry for writing a whole thesis in response :)
