Ahh, but all the vices we have :) Steemit, hopefully, is a good gamble for all of us. It certainly has returned way more for me than my shoddy blackhand and slot machine games of the past, little interest as they held for me and my bad luck :D Educated financial guesses are more my personal thing, but I'm very happy you shared something personal brah.
Cheers, and gratz on the best post I've seen in a while. You deserve a good audience, who can see what it takes to make a quality post!
Thanks a lot. Even though Steemit might be a gamble for some, in my opinion the +ve outweighs the -ve on Steemit. Everything has risks. Even if you are just walking on the streets, you have a chance of getting hit by a car(quoted from @laonie).
I'm earning Steem through author and curation rewards. All I've put in is my hard work and dedication. I have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Nothing to lose other than your precious time and electricity :). But im sure Steem will make your EV positive haha.
