A few months back I was talking to a lot of friends on Steemit and trying to explain the power of compound interest coupled with the upcoming growth of Steemit. I knew Steemit was undervalued at 0.85 cents, and also knew Bitcoin was going to break records before the new year.

This is why I continued reinvesting in Steemit, and kept buying at every dip. Today my account value is more than 3x what I initially invested, and my upvote is worth almost $5!

Now, to many Westerners $5 does not seem like a whole lot- But, here in the Philippines there are MANY laborers working for $5 each day!

This is an amazing opportunity we have, along with the platform that will allow us to help each other.

With a catch;

You must stay Steemit Strong! Some days you may not want to log-in or post a blog. A day turns into a week, which turns into a month. Before you realize it, you are way behind in reading- And this creates a feeling of "I missed too much already", which keeps us away longer.
