RE: Building Your Presence on Steemit is Like Growing a Garden! Details inside...
And in a sense, it's almost like a community garden in that we're not only tending our own gardens; but in tending the "common areas" and helping our neighbors, we also — ultimately — end up creating a benefit to ourselves.
That's one of my favorite things about Steemit... there's a sort of "self-serving altruism" subtext here. When I do good for others, it does me good. And it's not just "a wish;" it's a reality written into the base code.
i really like the way you think! relating it to a community garden is so spot on! and love the fact that "self-serving altruism" is written into the base code. this is such a radically hopeful model, makes me very happy to be a part of this larger ecosystem with so much potential to change lives and transform culture and economics! here for the long haul :)
