Well i shouldn't be giving financial advice to someone I don't know.
So i'll just say that I personally invest money into Steem. Because i see personal benefits for myself AND because I'm willing to wait long term for that investment to increase... and I have the belief it will.

However there's something I'd like to point out... many new users don't understand the difference between STEEM and Steemit ... in fact I didn't understand it correctly for a LONG time.

There is a company that creates code called Steemit INC and there's a web interface a whole lot of people use called steemit.com

I'd get in the practice of not using Steemit unless you're referring to that particular web interface. (There are several others that are part of steem)
