Steemit can either bring out the worst of people (greed) or the best of people... Just like you siad:

But i want to be honest. My first thoughts turned around money, but now, after a few weeks, I am glad to meet new people, share their experiences, like pictures, stories and so on.

I too, actually feel a sense of community here. Not always, but many times I do.. and that's what intrigues me the most. Finding real people, who really do share good things. It's unlike any other place on the internet. :)

Thank you very much for your comment.. If I could have upvoted it again I would have. :)
