Agree with you definitely. And 1 reason I believe this can work out because, I'm sure there're more hardworking people around, compared to people wishing this to be just another cryptocurrency that will just change the world by itself.

For now, I can see that most peeps here are trying their luck by posting.

Personally, I find myself more of a person who can give better comments compared to composing posts on my own. (Probably due to the fact that I did not complete my Diploma, thus lacking the experience to write decent stuffs with citations and quotes). Thus I try to compensate it by looking for posts that really deserves to be on the top of trending list, and hopefully that guy gets pushed. But till now, haven't receive anything yet from the upvotes I've given. (I'll continue sniping anyway)

By sharing your 2 cents on somebody's posts can really help too. From my observations, if the 'poster' is indeed passionate about the point he made on his or her posts, they will do all they can to reply most comments. From this point, that 1 comment, can be blown into something else. But sadly, not enough focus are given on comments as of now from what I see. (Got upvoted by a dolphin on my first day on Steemit, earned a petty amount of STEEM, and got motivated on what I feel for now).

Lastly, I'm sure this community will continue to grow rapidly. By being generous with posts that should really be shown to the world, I'm sure it'll motivate more writers here with their contents, and thus making this community one that will be here to stay for long. Passion will drive us all the way, but for most people, passion will run out if it is not rewarded. I'm considering to increase a portion of my savings to increase my SP, even though I'm pretty broke and jobless myself now.

Its a pity I did not catch this post earlier @gavvet. Hahs
