You have a way of explaining any topic you cover in a very simple and easy way to follow and understand. That is not an easy thing to do, but it seems to come naturally to you. That I believe is a skill and comes from you really knowing your stuff about the topics you discuss. You bring up excellent points of the monetization of your knowledge. You're simply monetizing the time you've invested to learn something that other's have not or will not invest themselves, so there is value in that. Steemit is a great platform to monetize your knowledge b/c in essence, you can "condense time" by reaching many people at a given time discussing a problem your knowledge can solve that they find of value in. Information is the most powerful form of knowledge b/c you only have to learn it once, but can be paid many times for that knowledge in the future. Great post as always. You've really got me thinking how I can use my specific knowledge I've acquired over the years. Thank you!
