As a new user (today), I've heard a lot over the past few weeks about steemit and the success that its members seem to be having. This has been from the sidelines. Having heard about it and not really understanding whats going, I've found your article very enlightening.

We (people) are social creatures and the fact that the long term success you are referring to being more about the relationships that are created and nurtured, rather than driven by financial reward is refreshing. It also makes it more achievable, as we can't all necessarily become financially successful in life, but we have a voice and the ability to use it.

I look forward to reading more of your posts and hopefully over time, I might have something interesting to contribute. Thanks
