The value of your account is that it is tied to you personally (or at least the profile that you created elsewhere). Someone would want to purchase an account to maintain to post anonymously, like for security and privacy. If you sell your account then the SWAT team raids your home, that is the security you need to be concerned about. The process of safely making an exchange is fairly easy though, just receive bitcoin payment through an escrow service so that an arbitrator can resolve any dispute.

I dont know about all that. People would pay good money to turn my account into a bot

Your account has value (for use as a bot) because it was (by reasonable attempts) tied to a real person. A SWAT team won't raid your home if you sell to a bot, but the value of your account is still because it fits a standard for approval that a bot creator presumably finds difficult to cheat.

I agree

I don't understand why you would sell your Steemit account. This is all just about to begin. Many new friendships will be made . Minds that have been made up might be open to change. I think Steemit is gonna have a mature vibe where users interacted and bring out the best in each other with words.

Why would you wanna sell out of this gold mine . Is there value to selling an account?

Since you are already flagging my post it seems like you've made up your mind and you are exactly the reason that I'm leaving this site. You can look through my post history to see the quality of my contributions and slowly disintegrating attitude. It is Well articulated if you care to look at the post titled "why i am choosing to power down"

Maybe you should take a break. You seem like your feeling are being hurt while participating on this site. I flagged your last article because it was the exact same as this one. I also flagged you reply on the duplicate post because you used foul language and were being very bully like imo. If you are gathering feeings of anger and rage instead of the acclaim crave, maybe you sure have a chill out session and come back when you feel less angery
