I agree that consistency is key. For example, I have friends who dedicated a lot of time to playing Gods Unchained in their free time, simply for the fun of it, and ended up receiving significant drops of both IMX and GODS tokens for their cumulative efforts. Those who have been consistent with Steem/HIVE from the beginning are no doubt sitting pretty right now. The problem is that most of us didn't comprehend how revolutionary this tech was going to be and got distracted with other life responsibilities and/or distractions. A combination of faith and dedication will bring amazing results over time.
