    What to it, it's my infantilistic streak - I sometimes let it flow and do something funny. It's also a way to find out what sort of quality people on this network have. I'm as of yet undecided about this... I'm not even sure if I want anything here on steemit than information about crypto... and I'm starting to be good at crypto real fast now, so why stay - it's such a simple subject really, the ideal hobby to have on the side don't you think ? Oh sorry - I forgot you're naive and credulous ;))

    I was only on steemit to have more direct contact with @cryptovestor. I'm not much into any kind of social media.

    I was very skeptical of the steemit reality, having seen all kinds of upvoting and resteeming bots and generally a lot of valueless blather to wade through (life's too short).

    99% of everything is crap. The way to enjoy life is to stay open to, recognize, treasure, and cherish the gems that aren't crap.

    In some ways I am very naive and credulous. I saw the utopian ideal of the steemit model and thought 'how cool is this?!'. Scratch a cynic and you'll find a wounded romantic. The reality looked far less promising but then I stumbled across a gem or two.

    Your wit and manifest philosophy brightened my day and I thank you for that. I hope you stick around steemit and I look forward to your next spate of infantilism.

    Regards,
    Rick

    It's a money-earning machine built around a crypto token - that being the philosophy and business model, it's only natural that people here are much concerned with profiting, much more than on other social networks - the closest is probably youtube which isn't really a social network (either).
    So you have factions like the "honest labor" and the "easy money" sort fighting each other with useless arguments or force... yawn. Cheers ;)
