How wonderfully generous of you! Congratulations on winning 2nd place and remember 1 STEEM = 1 STEEM :D
Being paid for interacting with others? Not really how I wanted to remember Steemfest.
I will admit I laughed a bit at this as that is kinda how this whole Steem thing works... but I get what you mean. :)
You realize how much unpaid time I spend in the chat? :P
It has never really been about the money. Sure, it's a nice plus and will help fund my education, but interacting with people is a lot more important to me.
