I've been powering up slowly, not having much of an income at present. What funds I make here on Steemit (if I do not absolutely need it to live on) go into Steem power. I believe in the long-term potential of this forum. Sure, there are going to be some bumps in the road. But, I have a gut feeling that Steemit will go on to rival Facebook. I like being on the ground floor of an operation like that!
