I posted on this also. The blockchain has a huge way to give back. If you have time please check out my post. It's an idea I believe can revolutionize education

:) While reading your post I came up with a short reply. Only to realize that you used it in the middle of the post. Of course, the line is:

# > To give is to receive.

It is a natural positive feedback loop.

Enough said.

Happy giving  and receiving :)

What do I have to offer ? 
Something very simole but  I hope it will help many: reading their posts and commenting. I want to give a quality feedback to others in order to motivate when needed or correct  (with common sense) when the author "lost it". I want a better commjnity not through many posts running for money, but with posts that spark discussions and maybe good debates.

So many posts without good comments (useful, nog just "you're great") or at least many comments is just a narcissistic platform. Exactly Facebook. 

Good luck with your projects.  
Cheers.

Nice, jamtaylor :-)
I too like to give.  I like to give a bit of  gardening inspiration, a few tips, good photos, all with a touch of humor.  Actually, my gardeningassociate says that I am an insane gardener - and by that she means...hmmmm, not sure, but I think I make her laugh a lot.  So, if I can make someone laugh a bit, and also get them outside and appreciating the things that are growing around them, then we all win!

I also like to give upvotes to newbies to encourage them to stay ;-)

Check out @gardenlady  !!!

How did you get the cool follow button?

What I'm giving is a constant help to users and response to posts that are original. I spend too much time here since it's my work holiday. I go through new posts every few hours and open up to 15 that are in first 30 minutes, and give feedback on what they are talking about. I vote on them after glancing through their content and read all of them, but seeing so many that are not rewarded rightfully for their work make me feel bad. Then I give my feedback so that they can feel that someone cares and appreciates their work. That is really hard and time-consuming so I think I won't be able to do for long but it makes me happy to make this a better place. My work isn't paying me accordingly but hope never dies. 
I also saw that there are people like me that are doing the same, but it often feels like we are on the verge of extinction.

Great post. I think as time goes on, we are all starting to see that giving back to the community, helping to cultivate it and interacting with it is by far the most fulfilling path. In the process of taking the path of virtue here on Steemit instead of pursuing "the almighty [Steem] dollar", we cultivate and grow ourselves. I (or we) applaud your efforts within the community @jamtaylor, you clearly work hard, believe in the greater cause and enjoy doing it. Not to mention the underlying talents you share with us. You've got my vote.

I propose to make flags for spam categories for plagiarism, an insult.
The higher the reputation the higher the reward upvote.
Make people's committee for tracking plagiarism, not one whale but from ordinary people with a good reputation.
Reputation management up or down should solve ordinary people with a good reputation of the Commission and not a single whale.

I feel the same way. I came to steemit to continue producing videos, entertaining viewers and taking bold and risky leaps into areas either unknown to me *as of recent... (anarchism) has got my attention* or very uncomfortable subjects. I am quite successful in the uncomfortable subject matter and if anybody has watched, they will agree. Now I look to explore what this BIG movement on steemit is all about... Whatever side, view or understanding I come to will determine where I stand in the community and I will be fine with that.

I have my photography to offer. I have been on steemit for 3 weeks now and have posted my images every day. i have a degree in advertising photography and have been taking photo's for over 30 yrs so have knowledge of traditional and digital. i specialised at college in archival printing, tinting and toning and intend to write some articles on photography as well as posting my work. I never went into advertising as the more i learnt the more i didnt want to work in that field so ive ended up mostly doing photography for myself and arts sake. i have a good folio of work and have a few pics published. currently im not working due to the joy of inflammatory rheumatoid arthritis so i have time to post everyday. I am also interested in ancient history, particularly Sumerian, Egyptian and Mayan. Astronomy, Theology, Science, Religion. i do a bit of psy-trance dj'ing and am in a band playing experimental music. oh and i'm into quadcopters and have built my own. i also use to be a web designer and built crypto-miners and custom pc's, So i have plenty of things to post.  photo's, interesting articles, tutorials, advice etc

Well, I wrote this to help new users with their post: https://steemit.com/steemit/@razvanelulmarin/help-me-upvote-you

I'm always trying to help ppl out bringing the content in the BEST form possible.

Other than that, I try to be a good member and write good content.
IF I see a possibility to do smth better, I will take it :D

nice, mate. ;-)

In line with trying to find what is in demand, I want to share a piece of myself, but the piece that others are interested in learning about, whether because they are in similar situations or just out of pure curiosity. I want to share experiences and the short bit of advice and things I've learned from those events.

Well said.

Beautiful message here.
I started to change everything on Steemit. At first I posted random content until I realized this is wrong. Now I take my time and think of adding value to all. I want variety of content. I decided that creativity is the best way to achieve so. Now I found myself in love with writing stories and involving the community. Today I finished another story, a fictional story called Steem Survivors. The end is always open and people can suggest in a comment what will happen in the next episode. Hope you enjoy it and happy Steeming

Very interesting post. The concept presented within the Steem platform is still something I'm trying to wrap my head around. But one thing I understand is this: that I can give in a meaningful way, without losing anything in the process. This isn't just an interesting idea for a website, it's a world changer.

I believe here, on Steemit, we're all giving to each other the most  precious thing we have - time. 
Sounds simple, but time is an actual reward we get in the human blockchain we living in. 
And if everyone giving it generously, it transfers to the experience, which enriching every person and the community itself. 
So it's true you're saying - being greedy is not the way!
