I'm not going to deny that the "pizza money" can be nice, but I increasingly feel like it misses the point. If you need something like this for current income, go GET A JOB. I don't mean that as an angry stab at anyone, but more as the reality that 99% of the world would make more money flipping burgers for minimum wage than they would playing around with "smaller stake" cryptocurrency... or blogging on Steem.

Indeed, the value is in the long game, and that long game exists in two functional ways: 1, you get to hold and accumulate, and eventually it adds up to something, and 2, BECAUSE you are playing the long game you will behave in a manner that is supportive of the community you're invested in, rather than being destructive towards it.
