Thank you for confirming! For me, the passive residual income is key.

I agree --- Steemit is definitely in its experimental phase, which is why it's so exciting. When I can see how powerful it is now, I can imagine it being unbelievable in the future. For me, allowing upvotes to payout after 7 days would allow minnows to build a body of work that effectively becomes a long tail. While each post doesn't earn a lot, collectively they can add up. (Content discovery would need to improve considerably on the website.) So if you write poems or scifi and someone really likes your poems and starts reading your old ones, they can just keep upvoting.

Where Steemit really rocks right now is the community. I've had more quality discussions here than anywhere else on the internet in the last 15 years. It reminds me of my early days with a blog in 2000-2003.
