I feel like you definitely have the right attitude with your preference for creating value over simply extracting it. Lots of people believe that all the value from STEEM comes from the reward pool, and that just isn't true. Who wants to keep stacking inflationary tokens that keep sliding down in value? We need people to come arrive and be so confident, they rush to exchange to buy some stake on the platform.

I have tremendous respect for the folks that have grinded out a stack of inflationary STEEM, but we need demand for all the liquid STEEM out there. If you're here and haven't picked up a little off the exchange at these prices, why not?
