One thing people should keep in mind is even if you're only making a dollar or two on each post, it adds up over time and STEEM could increase in value many times over in the coming years. So those $1-2 post payouts could become the equivalent of $10 or even $100 payouts if you hold the currency for long enough

Exactly! The reason i keep plugging away here, that and i actually quite enjoy a little typing/researching/interaction. Nice one!
