Steemit - You Can Be Virtuous and Still Create Monetary Wealth

Once money was based on something tangible. No longer. It is a faith based system (It reminds me of a rumour). It only has the value people place on it. Even more-so with cryptocurrency . In the long run, we can't eat it, we can't use it as medicine, it won't hug us when we grieve or celebrate, I suppose we could use the promissory notes we carry in our real life wallets, to build things or wear them, but other than that, its value is based on our decision to value it. With the banks creating money out of thin air and bitcoin's and altcoin's success, I'd say we are living in very interesting times. This is a quantum leap in the way economics will work in the future. One of the reasons I like Steem and Steemit is that the people running this platform have introduced an environment of mutual co-operation, rather than the dog eat dog world of, say, Wall St, giving an opportunity to head into a new economic paradigm keeping  much  of our value on human virtues, friendship, mutual respect, community, altruism, networking for interests and causes, rather than just selfish, monetary and physical, personal gain. After all, what is the point of being monetarily and materially wealthy if that, and the further pursuit of it, is all you have?
