RE: User Authority, Resteems and the Drop-off. Stop your friends from trying steemit.
My original reasoning was pretty similar. In my late 30's, 3 young kids.
I've been conscious for a while that if I were to suddenly die (which does happen), my kids would grow up with a hunger to know who their Dad was; and my Facebook is a mess, even if it were still available to them.
I remember some early services offering to embed your message in the bitcoin blockchain (for a fee); so when I heard I could come here and get that sort of permanence, but for free: I was all over it.
Absolutely!
One of the greatest values I see in Steemit is as an archive of my thoughts, available should my descendants ever care enough to have a look... That's why I keep trying to improve my Steemit Library.
😄😇😄
I hadn't actually thought of that benefit. What we write here will be, hopefully, available forever into the future for our loved ones to enjoy.
