I'm glad it got you thinking. That's what I aim at.

I value the rewards, too. But you and I and most people here are exceptional people. We are pioneers. We are willing to put up with an immature product with a less than seamless user experience because we think in terms of potentials. We love this platform because we see with our mind's eye what it has the potential to become. Some of use buy STEEM to increase our influence here. Those people are akin to venture capitalists in addition to being the beta testers of a social media/content delivery product in the works.

This sort of thing is not for the average person. You have to have an entrepreneurial and a pioneer mindset to want to be here.
