yes totally agree ! while i am eating, walking , showering, i am always thinking how to write my next post.

after watching that interview with dan and ned and dollarvigilante, i am much more confident, that this experiment will have a decent chance.

Its funny, but i imagined Dan totally differently, i had only seen Ned in a picture, but to see Dan, the crypto enthusiast, it made me feel much better. Both seem to complement each other well, Dan the brain behind how the whole thing works technically, and Ned seems to cover the business aspects pretty well.

i heard 100s of investment pitches from founders in my life, but If i had them pitch me their story, i think i might have given them my money right away as an investment.

about the social aspects, i think that there is a circle of users, helping out others. i am giving myself 10% of all my SMD earnings out to others, to encourage them to keep pushing and to stay a bit longer. I think its important that people stay at least 30 days, and really try to give their best. if you are a bit lucky, someone will notice you and help you get more followers and voters for your posts.

If there is a social aspect on Steemit, that might be ok too, there is enough money to be made, that a part of the money might be distributed to others. the beauty is, that we only have to vote, and not to invest our money.

so the job miners are doing for bitcoin, the community is giving time instead of mining power. And is rewarded. I think the fact that every user has just to invest time, will be the most important differentiator to other platforms, and this might be the key to success for Steemit.
