Happy Monday Everyone! It's been a bit brutal in the crypto markets lately, but there are some rays of sunshine still poking their way through the clouds.

Development on various blockchains continues at a rapid pace, especially on Steem. 

We had our first ever Steemleo writing contest and the entries were mind-blowing. It was so amazing to see the community rally behind a particular subject and share their journey in-depth. 

Many of these entries were some of the best posts on the Steem blockchain that we've ever come across and this is just the start. Authors deserve more recognition and rewards on the Steem blockchain and our mission is to merge that vision into reality.

All of @tarazkp's posts are fantastic and this one is no exception. Here he outlines a vision for Steem and what upvotes are truly meant for. A lot of people are confused and think that we can all just upvote each other (or ourselves) to oblivion and live off the income. Rather, upvotes can be used for a greater Steem purpose than ourselves while still returning the value our way in the end.
