Agreed. It was just BTC profit which SUCCESSFULLY served its purpose of getting me over "the hump". Now I have ENOUGH of a network to be able to turn out $10+ for each post and I am CONTENT with that for now. IN ADDITION to that I have made SERIOUS GAINS in learning and connections which are worth FAR BEYOND the initial $500, so there are ZERO complaints on my end. In fact, I would even CONTINUE engaging with this platform if, for any reason, the monetary incentive should disappear. As you are surely aware, "social capital" is AS VALUABLE, if not MORE than monetary -- but BOTH are ideal...
