This is really interesting, although even the concept of tokens simply is beyond me--how it relates to currencies, can actually be used, etc. It's been a steep learning curve since I joined Steemit in June, but I'm so grateful I did! I'm learning more every day.

More than that, I've found serious, concrete support for my artistic work here, as a singer-songwriter (lots of videos up if you're interested). It's actually amazing--which is why I can attest to what you are saying about the platform having real, long-term value. I have zero incentive to walk away from the platform with how good it has been for me--simply with what I get from the platform itself, but even more because it is a gateway to a community of people who are constantly educating me about cryptocurrencies and the massive changes coming.

It's exciting. I'm one of the last people who should have ended up as a somewhat early adopter, so I'm grateful I stumbled on it (through my extremely tech-averse mom!).
