Apparently if you get the max free credit a day it would take you still about 3 years to get something like a new iPhone. Because of that a lot of people don\u2019t think it is worth it and stop.<\/p>\n<p>To me the reward is just something potentially fun to get.  But it did make me think of the difference between thinking short and long term when it comes to getting a reward.  Now to my understanding one of the goals for the coins in this app is that if it ever becomes officially listed in things like a cryptocurrency exchange it could become very valuable.  So in that sense to me it\u2019s just a nice free investment where if it becomes something big then great.  If not then doesn\u2019t really matter as I am using it to track my steps.<\/p>\n<p>I can easily see though that if I was focus on getting a product immediately I would probably be discouraged too.  For stuff like this I guess the key is to think of the possibilities on how big it can potentially get and if it does you will probably regret not sticking with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was thinking the other day where since I started to use that Sweatcoin app to keep track of my steps I was reading how many people stopped using it because it was demoralizing to them as to how long it would take to get a reward that they wanted.
