"There is alot of poverty in the 'third world.' And part of that poverty is a fundamental mindset in people that they don't have much of value to offer - perhaps because they've never entered environments in which the conditions were in place for what value they do have to offer to be directly and rewarded in a way such as Steemit provides."

• This was me before I started, and is exactly why it took me a whole year of knowing about Steemit to finally sign up and publish something. Thanks for sharing!
