I guess I am not the only one who's thinking of quitting Steemit. I've been here for two weeks. I know it hasn't been that long and I have to give more time to Steemit to get it.
The problem is I had thoughts of quitting in the first few days as well. Why do I stay? There are a few reasons.
- There are some interesting people whose posts I like to read and learn from. So far, they are no more than the fingers of a hand.
- The potential of Steemit. I remember the first days of Twitter. I had the feeling that it was a useless chatterbox. Well, I still have that feeling now, but that doesn't change its $20+ Billion USD market capitalization. And it's too soon that I have sold Ripple just before its price soared tenfold. So, it's difficult to call quits on things like this.
Just become a passive investor then.
That's an option as well, but there's something I don't like about that option. If I don't use my ten votes a day, that is the same as giving away my Steem Power to someone who abuses the system.
Becoming a passive investor and then delegating my Steem Power who would vote ten times each day on posts and comments that are worth my upvote is an option too.
Besides a few interesting people and posts, there's only one thing that's keeping me from that second passive investment option. I feel like I can contribute some ideas like the tipping system to prevent the reward pool abuse. If I can do that and those ideas are received well by the Steemit community, my time on Steemit will be spent well.
I think I will stick until the end of March to see how well my contributions do on Steemit. If things go well, I'll stay. If not, I'll most turn into a passive investor who just delegates his Steem Power.
How about you?
