Great article! And this part is very true:
"A few early adopters of Steem aka whales are creating a new generation of givers aka dolphins. This is done on daily basis, and at no cost to either side."
I am currently at around 900 comments in around 4 weeks of active Steemit usage. And I have to say even thought comments don't usually get a lot of votes because of Voting Power being resourceful, it still has paid better than what any other site ever would have. Let alone what my reddit account ever has: www.reddit.com/u/acidyo
Am really glad I believed in Steemit since the start and have continued to contribute in any way I can to help the community and gotten rewarded for it back on a daily basis!
