well written opinion!
In my opinion, I think I'll just keep on powering up until i'm rich :D
since i've start off with nothing, and i treat steemit as a new facebook or other social media that i used to use.
So, i've got nothing in the first place, i don really mind if i aint got nothing 5 or 10 years later.
That's a good way to look at it. It's really just time and effort, if you don't actually put money in (which I didn't), so it's all free money for what you'd be doing for fun anyway.
