Behind every "overnight success" is usually years of work, struggle, self-improvement and risk-taking.

This! The $44k post I recently made was only possible due to the work I've done for less over the last 3 years. I have been coding on different layers of the underlying technology and learned everything I needed, from elliptic curve crypto, to RPC calls and economics. Back in these times, I was mostly motivated by the appreciation I received, now I can actually make a living off what I love doing! Thanks to the Steem community!
