I have not had any huge successes yet, but I was able to make a little bit in the past few days. I did a sort of a test withdrawal of 15 SBD to bittrex, and that feeling you get when you receive the balance in your account... It's just amazing! :D
This is something you can never experience with facebook or reddit, and why Steem will be able to succeed.
I have spent hours and hours thinking about Steem the past few days and thought I couldn't become more addicted... but now I just did!
