Something about your previous post did not feel right and I was going to comment, but got distracted. I think your assessment is more accurate now.
I just had a post pay out and it was listed at $58.19 and paid out 22.739sbd and 3.297 steem. At the current prices of $8.12SBD and $6.30steem, the 'value' of the post in US dollars is actually $205.41USD. I convert the sbd to steem right away and as such I ended up with 32.026 steem which is still $201.76US. I lost a few dollars in the trade, but I'm not worried or concerned about that. Prices are fluctuating so much it is hard to keep track of it all. In the end though, the 'value' of the blog entry was not even close to the value in USD. But for me, the value is in the information being shared, but for all those who are working to make a living, it would be easy to put together a little spreadsheet to keep track.
@taskmaster4450 - I forgive you. Takes a powerful spirit to admit a mistake and an even bigger one to fix it. Bravo! <3
Thank you @wwf. I appreciate your support.
I believe you are going to love my post tomorrow morning. What you just wrote about the value being in the information shared really ties into it.
This is not so much about the money earned. I am a true believer in the idea that the Internet creates abundance in whatever it touches. At first it was information, then communication...now we see it entering the world of money. People are going to realize freedom because of this. It is up to us to make sure each person has what he or she needs to at least provide the basics for one's family. Fortunately, technology is allowing us to do that instead of trying to deal with the corruption and/or incompetence of government.
It is time we give power to the people...to right some of the wrongs...to rid ourselves of greed and fear...and to share and love others as we do ourselves. I want every minnow on here to get wealthy from Steemit...not so much for the money but so they can live without the pressures of financial struggle.
Abundance is our birthright...it is time each of us claim it.
Your views is exactly what I wrote about today regarding Spiritual Warriors not attacking the bullies but instead helping the vulnerable build strength and independence so that our communities are so strong, the bullies cannot cause havoc any longer. We seem to be on parallel paths my friend. It is exciting to witness the synchronicity starting to unfold. I must admit, I've not felt 'alone' here for months, unlike how I felt talking about these issues on Facebook. Perhaps it is time my friend and brother! It is time.
