I came to this platform to share ideas. The cryptocurrency is just a bonus for me. I don't actually 'need' it because my needs are already met through my efforts to live off grid, grow our own food, etc. So that means if this cryptocurrency tanks, I'm still going to be okay. I doubt very much that it will as it is building up steam building steem. My message is getting out to more people here than facebook. I get more views and interactions with 200 people than I got with over 2000 on facebook. That is why I am here. Delegating my steem to help others increase their influence was a natural progression for me once I saw the idea being expressed by FTG. In the long term, if the cryptocurrency does pan out, it will be a gift from Creator and I will use it to finish our domain and setup a world class training facility to help teach people to live the way we do. If it does not work out, then it was not meant to be. However, my heart tells me that this is Creator providing the resources needed to start the training facility. Either way, we are fine.

While I recognize that people depend on steemit to put food on their tables, I would love to see a time where we are no longer dependent and our social structures encourage and support independence and prosperity as much as possible. The steemit blockchain is actually teaching those skills in a very subtle way. As it functions on anarchy, giving and sharing is the way to prosper within this environment. It is completely opposite of the systems we grew up with where it is everyone for themselves. Here, those that give, share, support and encourage are the ones that are doing well. This is teaching people how the new paradigm is going to work. So even if the cost of steem tanks, it matters not. A seed has been planted and is growing within all our hearts. That idea will manifest into the real world and will help people shift from the old paradigm to the new. That is the true value of this platform. That is why I am here. That is why I encourage people to come here!
