For me, my value comes from being part of what I see as a "grand experiment". Part of the human story. I see the technology that we are immersed in now, as being potentially as important as the flame, or agriculture, or splitting the atom. I don't think I am exaggerating. I was lucky with one of my posts, and got a decent pay out, and I'll be forever grateful for that, but to be honest I feel that I have had way better posts that amounted to pretty much nothing, earning wise. That fact is secondary to the fact that I think we are on to something huge here. It would be nice to earn some more, but just to be here, on the bleeding edge is pretty fantastic. I hope for more successful posts in the future, but just being here, watching things evolve, watching people and how they interact, and outright learning new things is awesome!

What you have said is true. I also considered myself lucky to be here at Steemit. Another thing is that our earnings maybe low now, but with Steem being so undervalued, once the price of Steem increase, our earnings will shoot up. Following you to enjoy your photos.
Yes, the rise in price holds great hope. I think this new token thing which I don't fully understand yet could be a huge part of that. If I get it, it promises an avenue for much wider adoption of steem, and it could have major ramifications in terms of non blog materials. It opens the floodgates. I hope to see more than a whitepaper soon!
I think you are referring to the special media tokens where business can create tokens i.e. crypto for their customers. Like you I have yet to grasp the full ramifications.
