RE: ELI 5: Why should someone invest $500 when they see people earning $5000 on a post?

in #eli5 • 8 years ago

You are not investing, you are donating to an experiment. If it is successful, you will be very well rewarded. Thus, only donate (invest) what you are comfortable with.

Also, your time and your treasure(content) is another way to donate to the project.

It is fun to have a passion (hobby) in life.

    @magnebit, donations don't ever come back except as good karma or if enough was given away a placard/name tag on some wall.
    If you put money anywhere expecting a return, then I consider that an investment. If've seen stocks wind up at $0, and that wasn't considered an experiement.

    Thanks. I guess I still don't see the point if the potential exists for me to get rewarded exponentially higher for posting alone than anything I could ever afford to invest .
