Hello i'm a devops engineer (from a developer background) who happens to have just started to see the big potential of steem as a blockchain.
i have just spent maybe 2 hours digging into it in every possible point of view and of course as a developer and an it specialist i was thinking of ways to make it my own and by my own i mean get into it right away and i wanted to become a witness(mine was my first word but i got what it is later).
my question is: having my own skills in it and administration could i run some cloud instances(aws,azur...) as servers (i can easily get them running) and still be profitable?
i understand that only the top 19 witnesses are making many blocks and generating real income from it.
what do you propose i do if i want to get into it in depth and make it really profitable?
