I agree with everything you mentioned here, kapatid! While it's certainly a time of great uncertainty here, the one thing we could all agree on is the limitless potential this platform holds. I like the contrast you pointed with YouTube. It's funny how at the beginning, YouTube (by its name itself) was built to be this personal platform where people can express who they are. It has grown quite a lot since its early days. I wonder if that's the direction Steemit will head down.

I like how you put it that there is more than one way to the top. Arguably, everyone wants to get there. Some are more greedy than others, that's unavoidable. But, there are many who choose to to truly support others. You do a good job with that, pare! Especially considering that you have all these advantages to get you straight to the top if you will it, you still take the time to ferry others with you. That's one of the things I admire most about you.

Thanks for sharing this, man! Truly a gem of a post!
