Welcome Maxx! There's a lot of us still learning here :) you'll find it's a great place where most people are very respectful and informative. So much to read and comment and post and OMG your fun just got started! Oh yeah, and I'm definitely following you. Everything you said is exactly why I joined steemit. Lots of great minds that know this is a turning point in history and having a platform like this to share as a species is like ....WHOA! We can really make a difference with how we interact....the steem currency thing I don't quite get yet but it seems to be an added bonus. You'll notice a lot of people just talk the $ here which is also interesting, but there's some real gems of wisdom as well. Great picture too! Blessings
