Exactly! And I know people using this money all over the third world for housing, medical, food etc. I am not some freak, but one of many. Just because we use the money now does not mean we are leaving.
My rent is $85 usd per month. My dinner I'm feasting on this moment is less than 50 cents of ingredients and I am loving it.
The world is not only made up of investors with long-term goals, big houses, and fancy cars. I am playing the long game at steem even if I am not doing it the way some people think I should. I post this message of what I am doing here all the time, and I am glad you saw it, @roleerob. We need our babies to thrive and the 95% kill rate needs to improve. At least I give people hope.
Most of the time, little guys cannot even get follows from big guys, much less votes or delegations or anything else. I beg for follows on my post footers since I post on busy. I get 20 people a week following with under 50 sp and maybe a few a month over 500.
If anyone does not need the money now, find some minnows and invest 1-3% of it in them somehow. If they do not work out, move on to the next. It's not like they are not here trying in droves. If we get to 10K minnows - and we will, let the next goal be 25K.
Very good @fitinfun ...
... I appreciate the additional input and perspective. I've "tweaked" what you have to say a bit, since many of us are far from wealthy (although well aware "wealthy" means different things to different people ...). At least in the way you have described. For example, I am investing for the long-term in hopes of providing a means of supporting my wife and I in our old age ...
The challenge here, at least for me, is the time commitment. But ... That said, I will commit to taking a closer look at how I might be able to do better ...
Thanks again for your contribution with your "real world" view of the Steem blockchain.
Have a good day! 👍
P.S. If you'd care to provide me your Discord name @fitinfun, I would like to ask some questions "off line," but I see there is more than one "Fitinfun" in there ...
