I like this post very much!! There are followers and leaders ... On Steemit, all are followers because that is what they chose to call the swing button .. There are a few leaders which I really do respect but even though they are leaders on Steemit, we still follow them. You are correct, when you begin leading other people to freedom, you will have 1000 real friends..friends who will respect and have your back. Just so you know about me, I have my friends backs!!! I love you my Steemit Friend :) Cheers to freedom ..SUNSHINE247
