Thank you. And I apologize for my over-reaction, that's what comes from writing with a bruised heart.
Its like, if people I respect here are feeling under-valued in any way, when we know they are providing so much to something that could be great, then that becomes me too.
I've written plenty of the gift economy, and have heard all of the news in the post above, what I haven't offered recently is an apology that i'm not doing enough, or any empathy towards users like SB who are on another level to most of us.
Thanks for the reply, it means a lot.
Everyone's contribution is needed on here. Collectively we can make this place great.
Each of us has individual talents, time, motivation, and experience we bring to the table. Our efforts on here come from intention, not worth. Each of us is worthy of all that takes place on here.
Yes users like SB and @fulltimegeek are on another level than most in terms of the financial generosity they provide....however, they are also in a position to that...
And I will tell you, I have known a number of wealthy people in my time and all of them say the easiest thing for them to do is to cut a check....finding the time to dedicate to worthy pursuits is more difficult.
Sometimes the only thing a person has to give to this site is a comment...and that is often enough.
I am from the sales/marketing background so I am use to efforts you can see. However, being on here taught me that many, including a number of whales who are not overt about it, have programming backgrounds and are doing a lot in terms of the development on this blockchain. That is something most do not see and the people do get recognized, but the jobs are getting done.
It is not me, or you, or her..it is us.
I wish more whales could talk like you guys...
