Totally, the community and friendship make it worthwhile. To see so many other creatives doing such amazing work is also very inspiring. And it could very well become something lucrative, once all of us in this wave hit a certain threshold, our votes will be worth more, we'll be able to support each other better. As long as the currency doesn't tank :D

But the other good reason for me to put so much work into this is simply having the content. for instance, now that I have so much content from Steemit I'm starting to do a kind of "best of" thing over on minds.com. And then EOS is coming up midsummer...

I wanted more of an internet presence with my creative work, and Steemit to me is a great place to start, with its informal, process oriented, "show your work" kind of vibe.

I'd love to hear some of your music my friend! Definitely tag me when you have something posted :)
