I'm not even trying to go too deep into my relationship with steemit... but you've touched upon something else that's incredibly dear to me:

but to me the WHY is the holy grail.

This is such an important truth, not only in terms of why we ourselves approach something, but really in any term.

With anything we encounter just as much as with anything we do, we should always inquire the "whys" about it!

Only if we never stop asking for the "why" in everything will we be able to outgrow ourselves...

gosh those were some bloated words!

oh yeah... my relation with steemit... i'm obsessed, too... "why?" you might ask ;)

Steemit is like a wonderful socio-economic experiment where social interaction and appreciation is at the center of the value-creation process. It's such a fundamentally amazing paradigm shift when translated to monetary systems in general...

mind blown

P.S.: oh... and happy b-day, too, of course
