Steemit has indeed benefited you in no small way. I totally agree with every point you have mentioned in this post.

Steemit bridged the communication barrier one would have experienced relating with the people from the countries you highlighted in this post.

That financial aspect is another major advantage, it made bogging and earning real fun.
You made a good entry my dear friend @ishayachris.

Oh that reminds me, is your name Christian? If yes, you're my namesake😊.
