@timcliff I totally agree with you in this. Even the tiny 1 cent SBDs count here. Many people that are here actively on steemit by now its because they found value on the platform, and they found they could contribute in something to make it a better place everyday.
As you mentioned several times, on steemit and steem you are in a never ending learning process of new things coming and going, and we are in something that never existed again. Earning rewards by creating, discovering and commenting on value content for the benefit of the community and the growth of the blockchain.
Many new ideas, concepts, developments start here everyday, many of which we here from them, some not yet, but all are efforts done by lots of people that trust on the platform.
What @aggroed mentioned if a site like Freelancer existed on a blockchain, I just wanted to let you know I thought of this idea, of developing a freelancer site with the steem blockchain. The only thing that kept me out of doing it, is that until know I do not know developers of the blockchain personally that would make a team with me to develop something like this. I have lots of ideas (in addition to the 14 ideas I already published to improved the steemit interface and in this way capture more visitors into signups), and ideas to capture big investors. My issue is I am not a developer, technical like you and many others are. If not I could have been adding much more value directly into it.
But you know you count on me and the steemit community, with my ideas, everyday, and will continue adding more ideas I have in qeue to publish.
Thanks for giving this motivation to new steemians, and minnows, since they are the highest percentage of signups. If we can make minnows grow, we will have the biggest spreading word power already stablished.
