Really appreciate both the concise points and the infectious enthusiasm with which you convey them @timcliff

"I'm pretty confident that if we all work together to make this place as amazing as it can be - we really will reach the moon."

This statement alone speaks volumes as to the profoundly symbiotic nature of Steemit. I don't use the word "profound" lightly I use it because I believe the entire platform gives a tantalising glimpse at how our entire society could be structured. Working together as opposed to working against each other, helping each other to fuel the platform and in turn help ourselves. In many ways this concept is the antithesis of the ruthless dog eat dog structure our society so often morphs into. Baby steps? yes but even the smallest of acorns can grow into the mightiest of oaks!
