Thanks so much for the kind words @crypto2day! # Unless I see actualization, I'm not inclined to buy into "appreciation" on #steemit. https://steemitimages.com/0x0/http://i.imgur.com/6Y6yC84.jpg Until then #steemit is just another interesting data set to further my research! ;) # In the end, I'm not contributing to #steemit for $$$, I just think it's a great vehicle to allow the masses to taste crypto. For me, this ["gateway crypto"](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gateway%20drug) helping to push along decentralized $$$ is #steemit 's greatest value. I genuinely do my best to avoid "us/them" as, we all bleed the same. Anyone who thinks otherwise ought find more exposure to the world around them. I (like any other) was much less versed in the technical matters at one point. MANY have come before me; a few have taken taken me under their wing, sharing selflessly. The only thing I know to do with the gifts they shared with me is to return the favor by sharing them with others. Any knowhow, "astrophysics" or "voodoo" I MIGHT possess is in fact NOT mine but rather, the collective creation of many. IMHO, taking personal credit is just plain ignorant. As the adage goes; no good deed goes unpunished ... The "reward" for my efforts to date? A narcissistic self anointed "expert" trying their best to bring me down by calling me names ... on teh internets?!? o'rly? "poor me" huh? lulz so hawd! https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/9c/93/4a/9c934a38f87a0d9e6ddcb729ade65af8.jpg # I'm pleased with my achievements to date on #steemit and elsewhere ... ### The best part of ANY accomplishment/experience? ### # No one can take them away from us! #
