Hello @badmusgreene, I think this was a great and reflective post!
I aslo have to mention that I got into STEEM and Steemit through @jerrybanfield as well! What a great influencer he is.
I do agree to the third law about reinvesting your earnings into STEEM Power! A great choice to grow your influence. I have also had my thoughts around this topic, and I believe that investing/reinvesting in the early stages of your STEEM account will play a big matter in the future and for further growth on the platforms.
Yes Crypto is used to a lot of illegal reasons, like your fifth law says, but I still find STEEM far much more stable currency in that sense on behalf that people actually use it for gaining influence on the STEEM platforms!
Thank you @johnasp96.I agree with you early investment in steemit is the wise thing to do especially as the platform is still in the Beta phase.Thanks for your comment
