I think you make a great addition to Steemit. And based on your first post, a ton of people agree. It's always good to see genuine storytelling from real people. Often, we get caught up in the impersonal aspects of the internet and forget that there are in fact real people on "the other side of the screen." So, when we can actually read about the lives of others - especially when those stories move us - it tends to have a bigger impact and reminds us of how this whole internet thing has changed our lives...to be able to connect with people we would otherwise likely never meet in person.
The fact that you can make those connections with complete strangers, while also having your family here with you and logging all of your experiences on the blockchain, is (in my mind) what this site is all about. Yeah, we can make some money doing this too, but being in an environment that doesn't just feel like we're being used for advertisements and data collection is a great relief and I think it opens us up to being more receptive to the new ideas and to new people. I'm glad that you can share this with your family and I hope to see more of it in the near future.
For those people who are interested in Steemit becoming the next big thing in social media (and making a lot of us early adopters richer in the process), this is what will drive mainstream adoption. So, good job to you and your family for doing what you're doing - for yourselves and for the entire community. You deserve whatever accolades have come your way.
Wow, so well said!
Wow! Thank you!
Hey Cody, I didn't mean to channel you . . . almost word for word. Maybe great minds really do think alike. Lol !
