This is so true. People always look for the "get rich quick" scheme, and sadly, they will not find it here. I enjoy when the price of steem goes down because that means and I can get more steem power for a cheaper price! It is also a way to weed out the leeches who are on here just for the money. Whenever people see the price go down, they cash out and leave. That leaves only the dedicated people, so when the price goes back up, those who stick around, and are true to the community, will reap the rewards. Just like you stated in your article, don't do it for the money, make quality articles, and engage with everyone, then it will make itself. Thank you for sharing this great advice and I hope everyone takes it and makes Steemit a better place for years to come :)
