Curation alone is pretty tasty you are right, I still don't get why people don't see the value of blogging here, especially in the age of the 'side hustle' - there are very few ways to make a side income like this completely on your own terms!

I stopped spending on SL after Chaos that was a good two years ago now. I'm not even sure if I've taken out more than I put in relative the Steem I sold to make most of my purchases. No FIAT was spent on my part at least, I think I've taken out more I'm certainly happy with how I've done out of it, but no more is going in, that's for sure!
