Word. But I'm not as interested in ~making~ money as I am in helping artists ~make~ money. :) The fact that a "whale" can give a $100 upvote has me completely intrigued. What an amazing incentive that is. If I had the starting capital I would invest in steem power just to be able to grant large upvotes. Then I can guarantee that I can help starting artists. It would be as simple as promising an upvote from the artopium whale once you've signed up to artopium. I would not only be helping artists immediately, but also helping steemit by bringing in more and more original content. which is really the big problem here. This is a giant, blank canvas waiting for people to fill it with real talent. AND, it's got the blockchain thing going on too. :)
