"it happened before. people do back off if they notice. people who enjoyed large rewards, ended up powering down and vanishing"
In my completely uninformed opinion, based on less than a week's worth of steeming, I had already become convinced that I would see this exact scenario play out later this summer. But that's inevitably part of the cycle, I guess.
Still, it's all good as far as I'm concerned. All things considered, I've found a lot more interesting stuff here than elsewhere, so even if the payment aspect is solely what's fueling that, I'm not gonna knock it.
I paid nothing, and got a higher rate of interest (literally and figuratively) on that investment of time than I would have on Facebook, for example.
Especially when it comes to the "secrets of the blockchain" the sheer value this platform provides is unfathomable.
Yeap. the only thing no one can beat :)
