I stayed all day thinking about what you said. I realized I don't have that many expenses where I would need to withdraw my SBD, but it's still kind of an emergency-fund in case I do need the money.

I decided to do what you said. I will keep my SBD there and let my account grow for a while.

Here the monthly salary is less than 6 USD and a lot of people from my country (Venezuela) are coming to Steemit with the promise of a pot of gold. They, like you said, stay for a few weeks, make a few cents, withdraw, realize that this is taking way too long and leave for another chance at something else. Maybe they bet on cryptocurrencies or work low-wage jobs to survive.

This is why I support you a lot and I'm trying to follow your steps a bit by building up the Venezuelan community with my limited resources. I still have a lot to think about and a lot to learn, but one step at a time I feel I'm getting closer to my far-away goal.

Thank you very much for the motivation you've given me. I hope one day I'll grow like you and help my community the best I can.
