Well written @cryptoctopus and certainly bringing the focus of the community where it should be - on investing in ourselves as a whole, investing in steem power.
Let me build a little on what you are sharing by adding something maybe small but of great value.
Dividend stocks payout a small percentage of income. Steem power as noted is paying out a large sum (7.5%!). A big difference. Here is a much bigger difference. The majority of dividend paying stocks are not growth plays. Rather established corporations giving back to shareholders not through late expected future growth but through dividend payouts. But Steemit...
Steemit is a ultra growth play and by investing in Steem Power you not only give yourself the ability to create more growth in your investment but the future growth of Steem alone is not quantifiable. Yes the early adopters have seen exceptional growth already but starting out today as a new user you are still an early adopter and are set to see huge growth over the years ahead.
Good point. We win both ways. And if anyone thinks we had phenomenal growth wait until there are millions of daily users! (We are at about 20k a day right now)
20K a day is awesome! I have only joined and began spreading the word. This article inspired me to write about what 7.5% growth can do (you were mentioned of course and linked to!) for us as an investment.
I think it is very relavent to the readers of this article too (if you don't I greatly respect that just let me know and I will remove it), https://steemit.com/investment/@jordanlindsey/how-investing-in-steem-make-you-a-millionaire-compounding-7-monthly
