Dan, I will make you a promise right here and now. I will never cash out my Steem Dollars, (as if I expect to ever have any).
Steem Dollars is not why I'm here.
I'm here because I'm hoping I read and learn something that changes my life. And I'm hoping that I read and learn something that I can share with someone else and maybe change the world a little bit. That's the only reason I'm here.
I'm also hoping that my upvoting helps others. Though I don't pretend to understand how it could. But if it helps, know that if I ever earn a Steem Dollar. It's going to stay right where it is. Where ever that may be.
