Money was part of the reason I joined too. I need it as much as everyone else. But, I am sick of earning it in ways that make me lose respect for myself, and so I will not.
You would be interested to know that a lot of the whales on here did not buy their STEEM, but mined it using a computer and a little electricity .
Ok, thanks for the info. Have a nice day, and maybe we'll meet again on steemit or on other platforms.
