Thanks for sharing.
I wish the guy introducing Joe to Steemit would have done a better job of explaining that we don't exchange STEEM as much as we allocate it. That's a big feature of Steem: the ability to give freely.
I'm a new Steemian, so my vote is small... but still, I just decided that this post was worth another $0.15 and I just made it so at no cost to me. In fact, I will even get a small amount back in the form of curation rewards.
If Joe was already impressed with the way it was explained, it would have been great to hear him react to that.
