I had a look at the steemsupply yesterday !
There are so many tools that new commers like me can feel drowned with infos !
What I have already understood is to follow the good persons like you ! And what you have said above about value and interst is so true !
When the BTC was going up the whole french press went crazy and everyone wanted to buy in , and now that it has gone down the press does not talk about it anymore and people interst just faded away .
What I regerte the most in this time is that people don't understand the wonderful tech that is behind all and how it will change the future for our kids ....
But thats huimans right ?
http://steemtools.com/ They are all listed here. Once I found this site I was even more overwhelmed but then came to terms with I won't need to use just about any of these to get the most out of steem. So be aware of them try them out see what sticks with how you use steem and like most social media platforms the more you put into it the more you get into it.
