Well said.
I think its impossible to get involved with a platform like this without feeling the desire for it to be monetarily beneficial, but there's so much more here than that. Any earnings should be seen as a bonus to participating in the community itself. That isn't to say you shouldn't try to make money. If you have a way of doing so, by all means go for it. Just don't make it the sole reason you're here.
Couldn't have said it better myself! This is my only source of income- so the money is important, but that pales in comparison to being a part of this wonderful community. When I was giving money away (which I of course still do) it was like giving Monopoly money to people who lived in a place where they could spend it. But when it got real... the community stepped up big time and helped me. Somebody drove hours to buy my excess SBD and people have given me hours of instruction (I'm really an idiot) of how to transform crypto into money.
