Wow , you asked a really nice question , i am bold to say 90% of steemians CAME FOR THE MONEY , BUT STAYED FOR THE COMMUNITY...as for me , i was introduced to steemit by my friend , i joined for the money , but as of now , i really am into steemit , is it the contest? , Is it the writing? , Is it the challenges? , Steemit is an excellent community to be part of.........one love , one family!!!!
