Exactly! Don't forget as the value of STEEM increases so do the rewards and returns on your posts. On top of that the ability to delegate and reward pools like @shadowbot can earn you a lot just as passive income.
STEEM has a massive future. Suppose it goes only as high as $20 but you make 1000 STEEM from the steemit platform in a year - thats a $20000 return + your original investment and however much that has increased in value should you decide to power down (which you probably should not!)
I haven't seen any crypto yet that is close to being as fundamentally useful as STEEM.
Totally agree youareyourowngod, plus how many more enter from Facebook more will require more coins Steem
