Ecosystems are characterized by maintaining a constant exchange of matter and energy that is passing from one living being to another, through the so-called food chains.Source

The previous paragraph is part of the definition of "Ecosystem", and that was exactly what allowed me to understand that Steemit is an ecosystem, because it is a world of constant exchange, ideas, thoughts, knowledge and everything that each participant does and with what nourishes others and nurtures himself. It is a food chain, that well carried, is of cooperation and mutual support. It is not that the big fish eats the small fish, it is rather that the small fish is nourished from what the big fish is leaving as it passes through the community, and in turn, this little fish is being prepared in some area of knowledge or skill to then nourish others who come behind. At least this has been my personal experience and I know that of some close friends as well.

I am grateful for being part of this ecosystem, for being able to contribute to the community my experience and my time and especially thank God that has allowed me to find in Steemit the means to achieve an alternative to improve my economy. I know that I still have a long way to go, but I am happy with what I have and I continue with faith and optimism.

Thanks to all those who follow me, to those who read my publications and vote in favor. Thanks from the heart because they have been a channel of blessing to my life. God bless you!.
