A simple question and an easy one to answer.
At least for me. But it can’t be answered with one single answer. So let’s go:

• I do love interaction and meeting new people. What place could you find them better than here?
• I do like a challenge! And I challenged myself to get to 1000SP without buying too much Steem.
• It would be a waste to let my SBI shares do nothing! Having SBI is a real motivator to keep on posting otherwise it would have been a stupid investment! The same goes for @upvoteshares and the @investorsclub
• I really genuinly follow people so I am interested in their lives, investments and hobbies. If I would stay away I would miss all these things!
• posting my bets on steem keeps my disciplined about it, which makes me better!
• I am one of the co-founders of the Steem Betting Community, so I should act as a role model. And giving up isn’t exactly a good example!
• I do enjoy myself too much here, this alone is one hell of a motivation!
• I do see it a little bit as a retirement funds and maybe it will be worth nada when I do retire within 20 years but at least I will have tried!

So many reasons why to atick around! But the main one I guess is that I enjoy being here!
Regardless of the value of Steem!

Cheers,
Peter
