If you are a Leofinance community member for quite a while, chances are that you already know by now who or what Toruk is. Behind the curation account of 
A person that I haven't personally met or talked to in my entire life, but who's weigh on my monthly personal finances, coming from my activity as a blogger on Leofinance is immense. I got to read the Vote analysis of TORUK post from 
It seems that for the past 30 days I am no.1 on "Top 10 authors who have received most
I suppose that's the total amount of LEO in upvotes that I got from Toruk on a 30 days time span. I'm not quite clear about the data, but doesn't look like percentages at all. Let me put that number into perspective a bit.

900 LEO at an average price of $1 translates to $900 in LEO rewards coming from Toruk only for my Leofinance account in 30 days. Taking his curation share out and I get around 480 LEO. Each and one of them courtesy of the above mentioned account. Plus the upvotes that I have from other accounts to whom I am grateful as well. Some of you probably know this by now, but for the rest that don't, I will mention that I live in Romania.
In this country the minimum wage is around $400, if I'm not mistaking and trust me that a minimum wage doesn't pay for any minimalistic life that you might think of. That's what the corrupt government that leads this country decided though, that one could be fine with $400 a month.
Doing the math, which is quite simple for this case, Toruk has paid me one minimum wage for this country in 30 day. From the data
Of course, he's taking his share from curation rewards, but who wouldn't love to have his content curated by such a user? Why has my content been that much upvoted by
If one Toruk can have that much impact on this platform and in the daily lives of plenty of Leofinance users, imagine how this community would change with ten such users. At some point we might have them, and that's when the era of abundance that 
I am not living any era of abundance in my part of the world, but I can assure you that for a few months I am able to sustain my living entirely from content creation token rewards. That's something, for someone that's been dreaming of such a day ever since I joined Steem. The path hasn't been easy, but it's worth every damn second spent on this chain.
I don't know how life's in your country and how much the government is supporting you for a decent living during this pandemic, but in my case it hasn't done shit. Toruk has managed to generate for me about a minimum wage, if not more, just through a few clicks called upvotes. That's why I call crypto disruptive, why I am a crypto and especially Leofinance fanatic and why I show up in here every day.
NO, not only for rewards, although I would be lying if I'd say I don't care about them although living off of my content creation activity, but for what crypto has become as well. This thing is beyond governments, central banks and any type of economy we've seen so far.
Thank you Toruk for all the upvotes, you should definitely know they weigh a lot and are quite life changing and wish you all the best. Great times to be in crypto and it feels like the fun is just getting started.
Thanks for attention,
Adrian
