RE: IMPORTANT dialog / correspondence from someone frustrated with steemit. DON'T MISS THIS INTERACTION.
Enjoyed this post and will resteem good sir @intelliguy! I had the same epiphany as our friend praks here early on during my STEEMIN' initiation - I quickly realized / determined that my effort value will prob. never exceed a penny or two per hour invested. You answered well and, as with anything in life, you get out of it what you put in. Also, I adopted the Steemit mindset of not dwelling on $$$ earnings, just enjoy what I can here. Sure, I noticed my account value plummeted from $200+ to $160 this past week as I added 40 more followers! Tha wacky crypto will never make much sense to me but I am having a good time! My thanks to those, like you, who put the time, energy and effort in to keep me coming back for more. If 5 years from now my account somehow yields enough to buy me a small hooptie that will be icing on my STEEMIT cake!
Your account plummeting from $200 to $160 wouldn't have happened (and my account too) if more people read this particular post:

Basic economics is what is causing people to rush and sell (instead of wait).. I want to educate more people.
One guy @exyle who is worth over $90,000 USD actually bought STEEM with limited funds at the right time. Most people don't get it yet. Even if we have a lot of experienced users here.
Anyway @lanceman, it is always a pleasure to hear from you. Thanks for continuing to stop by. Soon as I see your name, I always smile. I'll be checking your blog out again next.
EDIT: I just did. @lanceman just taught me that SBD was paying out interest for a short time. I've watched it not pay interest for a very long time. He's worthy of a follow.
