Excellent post. Resteemed!

I love this:

If a person made $3 USD a day on Steemit by blogging imagine what a 20% raise would do for their quality of life. The great part is that over time this person grows a following and their rewards continue to increase gradually. The key is consistency and quality. Over time we all improve if we do something repeatedly.

That's so true, and it goes along nicely with the vision of many great cryptocurrency advocates: meet the needs of the poor and unbanked peoples throughout the world.

It's so challenging to really embrace the "it's not about the money" mentality. I've written many posts on this topic (here, here, and here are probably my favorites), and I think we just need to keep repeating this message. The true value here long term is the community and providing value to your followers. The rewards will come to us all if we can increase that value.
