Totally with you @mikepm74. Have a confession to make here. $$ were at the top of my list when I joined steemit. However, once I got here, I saw the wonderful posts that people were were writing, the great community that is in place and the bunch of supportive people encouraging each other.
I realized the wealth of knowledge that this place is. Like a child in a candy shop, i read and kept reading all that I could. From that day onward, I reconsider my value proposition here.
I now see Steemit as a place where I can make a mark, be part of the wonderful community, and contribute my bit to the treasure trove. We have wonderful people here and am proud to be a part .
Cheers and thank you all for everything!! - @guynextdoor
Thank You @guynextdoor! This could be my story too, as well as many others I am sure.
I didn't KNOW about the money part when I first found Steem. I was looking for information on Crypto, and I came mainly as a source for the people who were tracking the different coins and trying to get insight on buying and selling. But then I found so much more.
I would stay even if I didn't get a dime out of it. I might be a little less inclined to put as much into it as I do. But I would likely still be here.
Enjoy the journey! Sounds like you are doing good!
