I think you learned more from fighting Peter than you would from fighting someone on your level or weaker. When you have to fight a three time champion, it's easy to get scared and back down, but you stood your ground, did your best and earned every fiber of that stripe. I like how you used this situation as a metaphor for Steemit - it's really easy to get disheartened in the beginning when you see how much the big boys earn. It was very motivational, this minnow is very grateful for your story :)
