Exactly! It really is a risk that one has to take. Or, rather, it's a risk that one has to decide whether or not it'll be worth it to take. For me, I've decided that it's definitely worth the risk and I don't mind taking that risk on something that I truly and fully believe in. If it does fail someday, at least I did something I loved and shared my passions with the world and improved myself as a writer. So it'll still be a huge win in my book.

As for the pyramid thing, I find it funny that people are saying that. If this were an actual pyramid then how come I don't have a referral code to give to people as invitations to Steemit, how come I am not making any money off of bringing my friends over to Steemit? :P I can kind of see where people are coming from with their fear and misguided notion that this is a pyramid, because a lot of MLM companies use similar tactics of spreading the word about their products. Not to say that all MLM is pyramids, of course. But I hope you know what I meant by that because I don't know if I know how to explain where I was coming from with that :P

In the end, life is all about taking risks in order to open yourself up to the chance of success. And this is a risk that I am all too ready and willing to take.
