What are you really risking on Steemit? You are supplying good content with the hopes of acquiring some Steem power and you do not have to buy anything. Another consideration for me is the free sharing of ideas. We have all seen the recent attempts at Reddit , Facebook and Twitter to shut down the people they disagree with. I love Steemit because we get to share our thoughts without the fear of being shut down by some corporation that has been bought and paid for.
