This is a superb article, typical of your blog posts. I always tell people that this is one of the best times in the world to be active on Steemit. Like you rightly observed, the pay out is higher now due to the increasing SP pay out. Although I bought bulk of my Steem at $3.5, I am committed to this project because, indeed, I see it as a blockchain of opportunities.

Cheers for the masterpiece.
