"I love steemit because it provides a place where we can express ourselves and experiment with words (poems and prose, essays and opinions) and ideas and art (art!). And reward each other for our expression."
That and that it's a positive community here that'd look out for each other.
When money is involved in any community, it's usually to entrepreneurship. And when a bunch of entrepreneurs get together, it usually becomes on huge circle jerk where they just talk about great they are with the amount of money they made.
Steemit is a great place to start with anything indeed, even just making mere comments.
Good one @drwom
