Everyone who says only whales make money here demonstrate they have no faith on the future of their holdings. 100 Steem valued at .30 US each doesn't feel like much (30.00). If 5-10 years from now it is worth 100.00 each that 30.00 valuation is now 10,000.00 US. That's only 100 Steem. Start adding zeros to that and it doesn't take much imagination to see what can be.
The potential for it is good, and I would ask how much Eth/Bitcoin/whatever alt is out there to get on a daily basis for posting, commenting and upvoting to those who complain on how quickly they can obtain it here. But, you can't get anyone to see something that they refuse to see.
Dear @practicalthought
I only had a chance to read your old comment just now. I appreciate you taking time to share your thoughts with us.
Enjoy your weekend,
