Are we talking hopes or reality. At a point we discuss lottery viewer to be on steem. I know and believe as well that Steem is not a scam. But at the same time the payout for the newbies are hidden or shydown by others that are ahead. For me my hopes are also shaky as I don't write. I read and upvote and talk my heaet out in the comments. That also now feels like chasing the dark. What are you guys doing to keep the newbies stead fast on this platform?
