You finally said it Taraz "I get to create!". That's what does it for me, it's the self-expression and a platform on which to plaster it exactly how and when I want. I've never really had this before and my self-expression (in terms of creative output) was rather bitsy. Here I feel empowered, and neither the reactions of others to this self-expression (largely +ve I have to say :) nor the price of Steem really makes much difference. Having said that, I agree with the sentiment you express about abundance and the soon-approaching period of crypto-rising and old-paradigm falling (which it kinda is already).
