Are we here for the gains, or for the freedom?

I read a post by @acesontop about a week ago, where he discussed the reason why 90 % are in crypto, and why he got in the first place too. Financial gains, mainly measured in Fiat money. And he is correct, most of us came here or are here for that reason. But, just like him, I turned around. The financial gains in Fiat money are of course welcome. I am not going to be a hypocrite about that. But what keeps me here, is a very different thing. That persuades me every single day to open my Hive account or the Leofinance community page. The Freedom!

What freedom?

Well, I am free to do whatever I want here, and my actions have consequences. If I shitpost, I will probably end up with very little rewards at all. If I don't curate, I won't get any curation rewards either. But when I post, and I write about things that interest me, I have discovered that there are lots of people on this platform that like what I read, at least, if it is measured in upvotes. And that is all I do, write things that interest me and read things that interest me. And I get paid for that. Now, that is freedom to me. And that is what is keeping me here, and is keeping most of us here. Some of them don't realize it yet, but is in fact very appealing to do what you like and get a reward for that. In the "real" world, most things that you do cost money or bring rewards to third parties. Like Meta, Twitter, you name it. Our data gets used and sold and we get squat from it back. Out here, you get rewarded for sharing your opinion. That is true freedom! Remember that! And take advantage of it. Write, share, read, it will bring you joy and prosperity!
