Thought provoking at best. There is an element of greed and selfishness built into the crypto world. It's alarming how one too many who join Steen and other crypto platforms are driven not by the desire or passion to add value via quality content creation but by the nagging passion to make money atop of others. @liberosist I must admit this was one of the key drives that drew me into Steem a few days ago. I have always believed that it's best to make value now. Reward will always come. Always.
Leaving Steem is pretty out of the question. Somehow it has helped me shape my writing skills and propelled me to work even harder. I do a lot of research before I post. I do a lot of reading and writing before I post. I believe hard work pays off anytime and anywhere. This to me is still a strong side to Steem.
