I'm kind of 50/50 with you!! 2 years ago, you were a shining example. You were people the rest of us wanted to be.
All I'm saying in a roundabout way is that we are tied to a certain extent by the stupid Crypto markets and Steem is so so much more. It can be earned, it can be used and it's also really social.
You're right, its so much more than just blogging. We have so many Dapps, and its an investment game and tool, but we have to get the balance!
With FIAT, if you save everything, you'll be a rich miserable bugger. If you spend everything, you'll be poor and miserable and your flashy new phone will be a relic in 2 years.
We need moderation and sensible use to get people into the community. There is something here for everyone but just hodling for ever isn't the way.
Let's stick at I half agree with you. Common ground. We need people buying but we need people using too!
I'm not sure if you are agreeing with me or not, as all these points apply both to part time and full time steemians
I can't write for shit! Sorry, hence me being reactive rather than proactive and certainly NOT being a content creator lol I post pics I take of dogs on motorcycles FFS!
We just need a cohesive marketing strategy off-chain and a great mobile experience, that's why we are not getting people here in numbers.. That's what we have always been lacking.
How about full-time Steemian, part-time income :-)
I get it. I don't see the point in defining whether or not two parties in a discussion are in agreement lol. I think the only agreement anyone should have here in regards to steem is that this place might be a diamond in the rough..
It's difficult to tell from up here in the peanut gallery. This raw form of incentivized whatever might just be a geode. An echo chamber full of agreeing voices, whilst warm and fuzzy, won't be polishing any hidden gems before the mines shut down.
20k steem sold from blogging is honestly incomprehensible for someone like me and I can't form an opinion on such a fantastical career.. All I can say for certain is I have never bought steem and I've yet to hear a sales pitch that would convince me to do such a thing with fiat money..

Think back to the make-up tutorial lol.....ok..a little later in Dec2017 the price was rising daily and imagine 1 SBD worth $13 USD lol.......100 Steem you had 1300USD in hard cash....of course, people were making a living here...except for the greedy ones who were holding on and holding on until it all fell apart.
