We are here for each other, nothing else.

Well, most of us definitely are here for community, but to say that all members are for nothing else is misleading. I think that earning factor is pretty great motivation for many writers, otherwise Steemit would most likely end up like some clone of Facebook or Twitter. You need something to attract people and Steemit's use of blockchain is probably the most balanced way I've ever seen. Those who came only for free and quick money would be very disappointed and eventually leave the network.
