Nicely written @cryptoandcoffee, and I agree, this does seem to be a concept that is only obvious to a select group of people. I consider it a pretty simple concept, but we cannot assume what is simple for you will be simple for the next person, and visa versa.

This is how I view it, and as a critical thinker, I guess I assume most others are as well, this really isn't the case, and Steem has really opened my eyes to this concept as well.

I'm always happy to help those that show up here with that passion to learn and succeed. One example, and I don't think he'll mind me saying, (because networking is what we do on Steem!) is @drippingdrizzles, he's a newer Steemian with a drive to learn and succeed here, and more like him are arriving all the time.

For those who have a different mind set, I don't judge them for it. We all have different things that make us tick, and if someone wants to use this space differently than myself, or don't view it as anything that is deserving of their hard work and efforts, then it's not up to me to judge them. I just keep doing my thing, which is the same as you. You showed up here after me, and have surpassed me, and I know how much work this takes, so I have a high level of respect for your effort and willingness to share your perspective with the community.

Keep on growing, we're in this long term friend! I'm with you all the way!
