Happy to be here...

Like anything else, value is in the eye of the investor (in fact that's all money is or has ever been).

Incoming revenue for Steemit will depend a lot on not only those seeking a return on their investment, but also on those who see the value in funding worthy content providers by powering up with Steem Power and upvoting content and authors/contributors they find valuable, insightful or challenging.

This will encourage more authors/contributors who have something of value to add to this community.
