I've said all along that Steem and Steemit can change lives and it can make a much bigger difference if wages are really low where you live. I met someone from Venezuela at Steemfest who said wages were $5 a month there! I can make that with one post and so can many other people. For me it's beer money, but for others it's the rent.

So true. It really enables content to be created and rewarded anywhere.

This is a really inspiring article that gives me perspective on another side of Steemit. To me the small rewards are a fun encouragement for me to write the things I've always wanted to write, but for some its a real income.

I earn a good amount of money here too . A financial freedom is provided to all at this platform ..

Cryptocurrency is NOT just some money laundering scheme or a gateway for criminals to trade on the dark web. At least with Steemit, it's a completely open and free-to-use platform that has the potential to LIFT real people OUT OF POVERTY.

Its like a drug to me. A mental drug of which the highs are not only empowering but contagious.

I share the same notion with my fellow countrymen and Steemians @branlee87 on his podcast on whether regular steemians are able to make a living off the Steem blockchain. Many a times first world country cryptocurrency pundits talk about how payouts on Steemit are negligible therefore it has failed didnt realise they are not looking at the bigger picture. Steem aims to change the world and the change aren't hitting the well-to-do first.

It boggles my mind that something so astounding as the Steem Blockchain manage to stay under the radar for so long.. A real literal no-joke life changing opportunity and so far only less than a million people has taken up on it.

Hey thanks for the tag. What a great post. Had a similar conversation the other day with @maverickfoo about how some communities in certain less fortunate countries are purely dependant on steemit for income. It still blows my mind to hear things like this.

Great post, love the direct example of how Steemit changes lives. This type of content is encouraging, amazing and helps to #GrowSteemit, which is something I am very passionate about.

I have a high paying job by most of the world's standards, but even still I am convinced that Steemit is going to be more and more my main source of income as the months and years pass. I expect BIG things from this platform and am very excited to have found it.

I tell everyone, who will listen, and even those who wont :), that Steemit is worth their time, and attention. Most dismiss it, but a couple have joined.

Thanks for this post. I followed @steemgh as a result of your post. Have an awesome day everyone!
