I can agree with that. I, myself, this tiny little minnow, have personally invested about $200 so far into the platform/into STEEM, because I fully believe in this place and know that my money is spent on a good investment towards helping the platform grow. If I had thousands of dollars to throw into it, I would, too.
I really just want to see this platform explode and help people achieve their dreams by sharing their creative passions with the world, and I know that I will be better equipped to help people more if my upvotes on their content are generating more rewards.
