RE: New Media Platform, where Good Authors get Good Reward for Good Content. [Let's create it together!]
there is no money to be earned here.
In the spirit of optimism, I'd like to affirm a bold YET. (lol)
just like all of crypto in general
Does the 'in general' infer that BTC is the exception? Sadly, as you say, millions put it all on the line at $16K only to watch it drop to whatever it is currently, with a loaded promise of 'to the moon.'
I agree, without a plan to grow the funds money isn't going to be a strong suit. However, I have to believe that behind the scenes there are plans to change this. I remember @ned's 'Freudian slip' or accidental heads up when he recently spoke of SMTs in past tense.
Either way, Steemit remains the only platform paying to post. I'm a witness that the pennies add up; and, can be spent, held, or invested in other crypto.
Peace.
Yea, in general means all of it. I see both sides of it. Some will get big rewards, some ok rewards, and many nothing. I like this platform and still think it's worth posting on, or I wouldn't. And I'm with you on the pennies adding up, they totally do overtime. Especially as the value rises.
Yes...I usually don't put the effort to do as most whales advise: Take your gains.
I have to be ready to do this in the next helium pump. ;+)
Best regards.
Peace.
I am also here to say, I earned pennies at a time, but I didn't take them out they grew! I kept posting and earning...
For sure! It comes down to what expectations are for everyone. As long as someone is ok with pennies and still enjoys to post and engage with the community, then power to them.
Most high-quality content in the economy of web content is worth pennies. Nobody pays to read content and everyone wants to be a blogger when they grow up. So, earning pennies or a couple of bucks for doing what a lot of people do for free is a big deal. Those pennies earn a form of interest with the inflation when we print new steem stakeholders get a bit of the new steem to offset the inflation. In addition, curation rewards go up, self-voting once a day goes up... That is how the system was designed to encourage people to hold.
For sure. They do add up.
Wow @whatsup. I have to say I've dallied with my pennies...put a few in BTC, powered down a few to sit and stare at me in my account as I haven't cashed out.
If you played the tortoise race, it's quite impressive to see your rank. May your post be an encouragement to many who are teetering on the precipice of giving up on STEEM.
Best regards.
Peace.
