I know someone who also bought a car in Nigeria from steemit profits. Our interraction with the steem blockchain and its products (currencies, dApps, frontends etc) should be seen as a marriage. This means that its a for better or worse kind of scenario.
Of course we are free to invest anywhere we choose, but steem has gone a long way. If we don't appreciate steem when things are tough, we don't deserve steem when things are perfect
Indeed, In good and in bad days! But I know this place can change lives, for the better!
