Always the relationships, though this platform in the way the rewards are paid out reminded me of another platform that was ad based that I was a part of year ago when I found steemit. I knew from that experience that if I made friends the rewards would follow, that site failed because of many things mainly because they were ad based and Facebook came along and soon the site stopped rewarding users and everyone went to Facebook. I met some great people there and we remain friends to this day. So when I found Steemit I didn't know what to expect, I happened upon it not knowing anything about the blockchain and knew very little about bitcoin other than I passed up the chance to buy some years ago when my daughter was sick. So my exceptions wasn't really that much except that maybe because it was a reward based system I would meet some cool people like I did on the other site and didn't really expect much in the way of rewards. But something happened other than making some good friends, I also fell in love with Crypto. I took some of what I earned invested it in other coins, occasionally I watch the markets and do some buy and selling and buying and selling again. I not only have earned some money sharing a hodgepodge of things, I have been able to invest those earnings to earn even more, and take some of those earnings and invest in other industries like buying pot stocks. But none of those things would have been possible had I not gotten to know people and learned from them . This community is amazing.
