Hey there @Purpleprose. Thank you both for your up-vote as well as the excellent comment.
Those are very good points. :c)
Not being able to be counterfeited is a big plus.
I am not so sure about scarcity - though I understand that demand versus supply is a thing.
If I am not mistaken Bitcoin exchanges involve a fee. Where does that fee go?
I'm not knocking Bitcoin but I do find my lack of understanding of Bitcoin to be disturbing.
Oh yes. Steemit is hardly a get rich quick scheme. At least not for us regular folks. And to a point that isn't bad. That being said, the disparity is real.
And that being said, every little bit helps.
I do hope that you'll make it for your preamps and mics.
Perhaps you could make an appeal to fellow artists on Steemit? Perhaps get into a collaboration that will get you access to that equipment sooner - in exchange for your assistance with something else?
There is more than one path to one's destination. :c)
Thank you again for your thoughtful comment and everything else!
Some of the fee goes to miners who confirm the transaction ( TX fee when you withdraw) but the currency exchange fee goes to the exchange itself.
Thank you for clarifying @purpleprose. :c)
