After all, the strength of steem depends on not letting speculation overpower production, preventing opportunism from freeing wealth from preexisting wealth, and from using any means to attain ends. Rather, it is important to encourage genuine value production, which in steem is tantamount to creating, discovering, and rewarding good content, viewing profit as a deferred consequence rather than an immediate goal. People like @spiritualmax do this and these are the people who feed hope... Keep the good work!
