100,000 Steem
I actually did the math in one of my posts, you would need 88.888 STEEM at the current price to be able to live off of inflation with inflation at 8% and spending 1k bucks per month!
But yeah, i see your point, it's hard to make a living off of steemit, especially now during a bear market, but who knows, maybe you will be able to do it in some years!
To me Steemit is a hobby, i'm still taking my degree and that will be my main focus and main source of income! If i happen to have extra from both sources i can just invest it or buy stuff for myself!
That's cool, thanks for sharing some real numbers. Steemit should be considered a hobby if you're not an investor. Well, that's my opinion anyways. If you're starting to focus on the money you'd easily lose motivation... And if you do, even the extra bucks will get more difficult to get.
