Why I am happy with my 2c steemit posts!
Something that I often wish people on steemit would remember is that we are still in BETA launch. To understand this better allow me to elaborate directly from wiki .
Beta, named after the second letter of the Greek alphabet, is the software development phase following alpha. Software in the beta stage is also known as betaware. Beta phase generally begins when the software is feature complete but likely to contain a number of known or unknown bugs. Software in the beta phase will generally have many more bugs in it than completed software, as well as speed/performance issues and may still cause crashes or data loss. The focus of beta testing is reducing impacts to users, often incorporating usability testing. The process of delivering a beta version to the users is called beta release and this is typically the first time that the software is available outside of the organization that developed it. Beta version software is often useful for demonstrations and previews within an organization and to prospective customers. Some developers refer to this stage as a preview, preview release, prototype, technical preview / technology preview (TP), or early access. Some software is kept in perpetual beta, where new features and functionality are continually added to the software without establishing a firm "final" release. Source wiki
As an early BETA adopter I have been privileged to have made some real money on steemit, earning well over $350 on more than one post. I have experienced the power of steem first hand and loathed in the euphoric high I got from earning real cash with a single post.
Today things are a bit different and earning has become quite difficult these day's on steemit due to certain economic factors, or has it? Maybe your 2c posts are only worthless at the moment and it's all relative? And with that said I would like to take a different direction. I am not interested in the current economic state of steemit and the politics involved. I would like to talk about why I am currently happy with every 0.01c I can earn and counting.
Here is a simple fact about steemit that I would like to challenge anyone with: In my opinion as steemit stands today, even for a newcomer or newb, steemit.com is the easiest way earn real crypto daily without investment.
Another great thing about this platform is the simple fact that we have a social powered crypto currency. Let me ask you this? Except for bitcoin obviously..... Over the years how many crypto currencies are first created and then the devs or early adopters will try and build a community around it? However in steemits case the entire community was build on a social level and then the crypto currency followed. Do you see what I am getting at here? We already have a coin with the community and tools needed to succeed.
Now let's say for arguments sake you do a steemit post today and it earns you 1 steem, basically worthless for all your effort you might think..... but this is how I see it. What if you knew the outcome of bitcoin on today's markets 5-6 years ago? I have read stories about people sending each other ten's of thousands of bitcoin just after it launched and exchanging them for a couple USD . In fact I also once read an article where I believe the first item ever bought with bitcoin was a pizza at 10 000btc.
Once again my point is don't steem for the present, I steem for the future with a vision in mind! As I mentioned we all need to realize and understand steemit is in BETA, this is a good thing, we the early beta adopters still have time to benefit if we have vision . Before anything can get better or improve, it must be at its worst. Steemit has already past the worst, we have a coin backed by a growing social community and every day with adoption and the endless content being created as a driving force ,the potential to grow steemit and for it to succeed gets better and better!
Let me ask you this... If a decentralized crypto currency's value is determined by those who choose to adopt it, what does it say about your worth? What does it say about the others who choose to invest in steem? I don't know about you but I have personally found some pretty awesome content on steemit, a good investment if you ask me. From a long term point of view, perpetual new content delivered daily on the internet is a very valuable investment indeed. Steemit in itself breeds content, and content is king!
Well I hope you enjoyed my 2cents worth and happy steeming!

WOW! Why haven't I been following you? You have written everything I've believed about Steemit from the first day I joined. Thank you for the affirmation that I'm not alone in this way of thinking. :)
Hey @merej99, thanks for the comment! I simply pointed out what is logical to me, very happy we both understand what we doing here and have a long term vision :-) Steem on baby!!!!
Hi @virtashare, I just stopped back to let you know your post was one of my favourite reads today and I included it in my Steemit Ramble. You can read what I wrote about your post here.
@shadowspub Thanks much appreciated!
I'd try to give you my 2 cents, but I'm to short for 1 cent. Enjoy.
Hey thanks that could be worth $100 soon, who knows.....
We all hope.
I'd say you try to give us your 2 Steems.
