Dear Savvy Opportunity Seeker, 

“The Early Bird Gets The Worm.”

Cliché, yes…but true. Let me explain:

I want to show you a simple, yet effective, “quick cash opportunity” that you can use to immediately generate cash for yourself with no risk.

Now, I know a lot of people make that claim and I’m sure you’re a little bit skeptical since maybe you’ve looked at, or tried, other opportunities that made big promises but then didn’t deliver. 

Well, stay with me and read every word of this message because I’m sure that once you hear more details, you’ll be convinced that this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss out on.

Trust me when I say that people who don’t take action on this opportunity will be kicking themselves later for not getting involved now…it’s THAT good!

Everybody’s Too Busy Complaining About The Economy…
But Finally Here’s A Chance To PROFIT From It! 

More details in a minute but first we have to take a look at the “here and now”…

As you know, this so-called “new economy” has most of us scrambling financially – jobs just don’t pay what they used to and getting a raise is nearly impossible.

Unfortunately, our good ol’ dollar continues to decline in value and now with the added burden of increased health benefit costs, we’re all looking at actually making less money this next year!

I mean, think about it: every time you turn on the news there’s some “talking head” talking about the decline of the US dollar, the economy is in shambles, and people cannot find jobs. And people’s pocketbooks are getting hurt thanks to the increase in food, gas and everyday living expenses. 

It’s practically become mandatory to have a second source of income just to make ends meet.

But that’s why you need to hear the really good news in this message.

Don’t worry…I’m not going to be too “over the top” with you and make it all seem like there’s no work involved…there’s always hard work with any new venture. But I will go out on a limb and say that this is the closest thing to an “easy button” that I have ever found and I’ve been involved in many different ventures throughout the years.

I’ve been very fortunate to get in on the “ground floor” of some great opportunities and this is absolutely one of the best and I can’t wait to share it with you.

Once you see how to take advantage of this new trend and how quickly the cash can start coming in, it will be a “no-brainer” for you to get involved.

AND MORE:

There are only a few people that know about it out there right now, which means you won’t have very many competitors! But this could change as the platform becomes more popular, which is why it’s critical you get in now!

Others don’t know about Steem Cash yet. Of those that do, many are just hanging out posting random stuff…they’re also interested in voting, commenting on other people content - so you’ll have instant engagement!

You don’t want to miss the chance to get in on this now, working only the hours you want to work and having the extra income to really enjoy life. Don’t be one of those people who will kick themselves later for not getting in on this when they had the chance.

Everyone knows that the people who get involved in business opportunities early make the most money – before others join and the competition gets tougher.

Now is the time to take action and ride the Steem Cash wave while it’s fresh, new, and extremely profitable.

Thanks for the advice bro.

I paid $9.

- At the blockchain level, there is a fee for creating a new account.
- That fee is currently 3 STEEM.
- The steemit.com website pays the registration fee for most users. In practice, the fee only applies to experts who create an account by interfacing directly with the blockchain.
- The fee is retained by the newly created account as its initial Steem Power balance.

Some questions for you to consider:

- Is it a scam if new users are paid to sign up?
- How do you keep an abuser from registering a million accounts without a fee? We can't do what most other sites do (e.g. rate limiting new account creation per IP address, email verification, CAPTCHA) because those techniques can't be done on a blockchain.

We've tried *very hard* to minimize the number of fees in the system.

You are welcome.

Thanks @theoretical. While going through all the responses this post got, I found a post made by @marklyford: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@marklyford/the-truth-about-mark-lyford-and-banx, explaining what steem cash is all about. 

I made this post because I did not understand the difference between the steemit service and "Steem Cash". For that, I am sincerely sorry. 

Now that I get it, I am going to be making more valuable posts from now on. 

Full STEEM ahead Steemians.
