Hi thanks for the comment. Yes, I guess I should have cleared this part a bit more.. "But if you have an every day job and cover all your daily expenses, will cashing out the 20 $ you made last week make any real difference to your everyday life? "
Obviously, 20 $ a week is a big deal for somee countries and these are definitely not the people I am talking for. I am happy STEEM has changed your life(ves) to the better! :)
I think your advice is applicable regardless. It's true the exchange makes the money more substantial in most part of Africa but Its about instant gratification and long term survival. Although I must say some people are in more desperate conditions but Im sure people without severe money problems still cash out and spend on trivial things even when they know powering up leads to more returns and a greater share.
