As an educator here in South Florida that is transitioning into the world entrepreneurship & investing full time, I think it is imperative that these types of platforms exist. I am huge advocate on empowering people to be their future selves NOW! Steemit gives me another platform that I can recommend to my students & clients that are looking for new ways to express themselves, and coupled with the possibility of generating revenue--just icing on the cake.
This is definitely an interesting and magnificent world that is being created right before our very eyes and I am humbled to be able to partake in this journey with all you steemians!
