I just woke up and saw that steem had risen MORE, up over 6$. This is incredible and I’m wondering if it’s because of, as you say, something to do with steemit or some other trend in the market. Is some group finally acknowledging the true potential of steem, finally realizing how amazing it is in transaction time at basically no cost?
I agree with @steemmatt, I come to find your posts because you write meaningful, thought provoking content. Many of the people I follow don’t have a lot of steem, but I follow them and comment because I’m genuinely interested in what they’re saying and/or I’m learning something. Of course many will just follow the money, but it’s more rewarding in my book to have that grey matter piqued and massaged between my ears than go chasing the gold at the end of the rainbow. With steem rising like this, more and more people will join and it will be increasingly important to focus on the quality content and not promote any drivel or posts written just to get money. There is a lot of talent here, just takes some sifting through.
