I see my experience is in your post @surpassinggoogle, I think everyone feels the same when just using steemit, the words that I quote from your post that is.
i.e newer steemians get on steemit on day-one and didn't know where to start but found out that "everyone has something to offer" and they started out building visions out-rightly, with their very first post, while instantly starting to explore all uses for the steem blockchain, thus, understanding the full beauty of steemit; knowledge that could easily take days, months or never (in rarest cases).
No doubt
Hi :D
