You said it.... the more SP the better. It's great to earn from this platform but even better when we can help others do the same :)
And not to worry about your timing of entry here. We are still very much in the early days. Facebook was in Beta for a few years before it really kicked off...
I completely agree! Can't wait til my VP hits above a dollar... will be so much more rewarding for other users, as well as myself. I think 2018 is the year for steemit, we shall see ;-)
