Dear friend, thank you for your kind words and I would never prefer you to write in Italian through a translator in place of your authentic and cute messages! I've read that steemit is a gift-economy, based on reciprocity. I didn't reply to that whale because I don't like to express my thoughts into public threads so much. However I would beg to differ as in a true gift-economies - take for example the natives of America one - the exchange is not expresed in a directly economically measurable way (a carpet for a bow is not x SBD for x SBD). Here in steemit the economical factor IMO is tainting the human relations and easing the creation of the so called "circle jerking" effect. I am very curious about where this will go, and I'm not entirely sure that it will be all rosy. At least, in the old times when I used to chat we were not exchanging money for our comments but just appreciating each other for what we were and enjoying some good laughs. I think that here there's a more than good balance between us freewriters because we talk for the sake of conversation and be friends. We should never forget that this is the priority and not making money out of stupid circular talks. Thanks for being here, you too are inspiring and a true person that makes it worth the time spent here :-)
