We all have our ways probably. Some bought it at "ninja" mine, some bought it as can afford it, some earn by creating content as can't afford it. See there is enough place foe everybody :) And then again everybody has their own reasons. Some are just for the price difference and look at it as a crypto or source of income. I have been battling for the freelancers for the last four years, even founded a startup that drained all my money to nothing (hopefully will raise a round soon :)), and i see steemit or any other block chain solution as a light at the end of a tunnel some point in the future. Where now it has been the dark ages. And now i want to build on the blockchain too :) Either it is just me, but i think that people are blinded by speculative (which is totaly ok) side of crypto and overlooking a tremendous potential that paradigm shift can bring to the society or humankind as a whole :) For now we need to husle yet for a while :)
