Great post, @kevinwong!
I have been on Steemit for a little more than a week and I'm already hooked. I'm not yet able to spend a lot of time here due to other obligations, but I will in the near future.
I owned a few bitcoin at some point but had to sell them to take care of an emergency. Right now, I may not be in a position to invest in Ethereum due to the price spike. While my intention is to write and earn some steem, I may also look into investing in Steem once I have money to spare.
Thank you for your post. It motivates me to spend more time here.
BTW, loved the analogy.
The platform is free-to-use. Although it'd help to buy into Steem Power, it certainly won't require you to actually invest in the currency since you can earn it. Investing time is legit too :)
I know it is. I would like to invest more time and move ahead. Just that, reading all those blogs about Steemians who had invested and are now making huge sums of money.. can be tempting. Thanks for the reality check. :)
