"Came for the rewards and stayed for the community." Now we can prove that we mean it!
<html>
<h3>Actions speak louder than words.</h3>
<p>The current payout situation on steemit is the very best moment to show why people are actually here.</p>
<p><em>"I came for the money but stayed for the people."</em> Sure? Then why do you stop posting when the rewards pool is reset? We are all still here to support you :) Just saying...&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The true value of social interaction doesn´t lie in its financial outcome.</strong></p>

<h1>Rewards&nbsp;</h1>
<p><strong>What does please you more? An engaging, refreshing, smart, funny, heart-warming comment on one of your articles or some SBD on your wallet?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>I don´t know how you´d reply to that one, but to me the answer is crystal clear.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In my life money generally doesn´t have a major importance. It´s just a means to an end, something unavoidable I need to pay my bills, to fulfill my travel dreams and to get some new surf equipment.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>However, money doesn´t define the value of my creativity.</h2>

<h3>Why have financial rewards been chosen to evaluate content on steemit?</h3>
<p>Because money is a globally understood currency to define value.&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, when money fails there are still infinite ways of showing appreciation to others.</p>
<p><strong>In the attention economy the most valuable currency of all is: TIME.&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>Translated to our current situation on steemit: no matter how many financial rewards are going to be allocated on a specific piece of content, our time spent is worth much more than that!</p>
<h3>You wanna create some true <em>value</em>? Then just do it :)<br>
