RE: Let's Talk—Why Are You Not Buying and Powering Up Steem?

It also feels that by contributing to the platform we have some responsibility/stake in that future, as opposed to regular crypto trading, where people simply speculate on a market they are not directly involved in other than as investors.

Sort:  

This is by far one of my favorite attributes of the Steemit ecosystem, which is that we can actually use our cryptocurrency for a purpose, a purpose that helps us and others thrive to boot! 🐳

I know its kinda blowing my mind. I have "invested" in so many social media platforms over the years and ultimately just contributed to their stock price. I am happy to be more of an active participant in this game!

Same here, I owned a 1,000 shares of Facebook at one point, and at the same-time, I hated the fucking ads on Facebook with a passion!

Made me feel as if I was supporting something I hated.

Yes I agree, you can't beat a working platform that actually pays you a salary.

No you can't, and the more we spread the word, the better the content and participants will become... well for the most part anyway.
