RE: The "Constantly Shifting Tides" of the Steem Blockchain

in #steem6 years ago

The number one reason I consider taking my ball and bat and going somewhere else is boredom. There is not enough money or interest in what in my thing to keep doing what I was doing, 90% of all the people I interacted with are gone, the things I was interested in are gone, so it's just force of habit that keeps me here actually. That and the low price of Steem. To me, It is barely even worth the fuss of trading it at this point.

But bro, where would you go? Steemit is the only real option in the "social media blockchain" game. And so what if people go? That's my point. We can either choose to be the followers or the leaders. Hell, even Obi-wan is quoted as saying "Who's more foolish? the fool or the fool who follows him!"

Bottom line is it's actually possible to earn crypto here. Free crypto in return for your efforts. Isn't that a "good" thing? Compared to years of Facebook, Instragram, Reddit, Twiiter or the like? I honestly don't think it's as bad as that, my friend. The way I see it, a good portion of the top 100 have far more to worry about than we do.

I have been earning Steem for a year trying to make up for the money I lost when I first invested in the platform. Maybe, maybe I will be even in another couple years....

It sucks investing and watching the value of your stack diminish over time. Trust me, I know. Except looks like we can do something about it on this blockchain. I, for one, am hoping you're one of those that actually "do" stick around. :)
