See I only see the money I make in steemit as a store of value at the moment, For example lets say right now I have 100 steem/sp and right now it is worth about $1.26, already it is worth more then a U.S. dollar and that is awesome, but wait till is is worth $10, $20, even up to $100. If you do the math with only the amount of Steem I have for this example if it is worth $10, 100 steem = $1000 U.S. and if it is worth $100 100 steem = $10,000 U.S. The work I am doing here is an investment into my future. I love doing or creating something for people to see, and maybe I can help people by doing steemit. I know you appreciate what has been done for you but just imagine what they have done for you when your steem is worth $300 U.S. Our payouts may be less right now but every 1 steem we make could be worth $2500 in 8 years!!! Thank you for this post I enjoyed it!
