This post perfectly sums up the transformation I went through over the last weeks.
I, too, was blinded by the cash and promises of fast and easy internet money.
But after spending time in the community, getting to the intricate details of the currency and platform, and realizing the potential of it all, I did a 180 and am now a staunch advocate of Steemit.
Don't care anymore if my posts do well or not, as long as I can contribute to make this a better place, I'm happy.
Doing things like the event this Saturday really gets my blood pumping, and showing others how a platform like Steemit can change society as we know it, is what gets me in front of my computer each day.
That's the spirit, man!
More long term believers instead of promoting a get rich quick scheme. Telling you it's going to backfire as much as it promotes. There are other ways to get where we need to go.
Slow and steady wins the race!!
I find it interesting that you joined for reasons of fast/easy money, yet you stayed here for other reasons. It's actually kind of cool that that type of recruitment can work. Thanks for sharing.
It was not the actual reason I joined though. I've always had a passion for tech and crypto. So it was logical for me to sign up here.
What I meant to say was that my first posts were more about 'chasing the money' than actually providing value.
