Hey @d-pend, I totally agree! I only do voluntary work which makes it hard for me to invest in Steem without borrowing. So what I have done is cut all other costs. Now I only have to get enough for rent and I'm good...

So this results in a lot of free time which I spend here contributing, as well as promoting the Steem blockchain! Every new user is extremely valuable and I focus mainly on my existing network as the potential synergistic effects are even higher.

It's a pleasure embarking on this great journey with you @d-pend!
