Sorry, my bad, haha. I always think I've come up with something unique only to later find out I had come across it somewhere else, so I know how it feels.
Yeah, I agree. It seems with most coins and such it's a very hands off experience, you invest money to buy the coin and just sit back and hope for the best. Whereas steem seems like a much more involved process, you invest your time and effort, and that has a completely different psychological effect which makes you want to find some way to influence the success of the project. Plus, what other cryptocurrency allows you to join in and profit for free?
