#1 I have been telling myself since day one when I joined up. Those little posts that are pennies now will be worth a lot more eventually when STEEM appreciates. If you truly believe in the success of the platform.

Not only that, every those pennies received for little posts compound in many different ways. To start, there is the inflation rate that adds to the SP (actually MVests). Then you have the fact that every little bit applies to your own VP. Each post has the ability to garner comments which can lead to interaction which then leads to followers. Finally each post adds to your totals so when someone goes to your blog page, they see you are active.

And yes the eventual appreciation of STEEM will help all this too.
