years of effort and paying out of pocket at times have made beyondbitcoin what it is today. My aim is for steem to help others who have staunch followings and who build communities who support one another.
As this platform grows and people build strong followings of people who are willing to invest in the network and others, you will see everyone gets paid a bit more reasonably and it will be less on any specific work you do and more your reputation among those who are willing to invest longterm in steem...and people like you.
