"While onlookers see a barren field, the farmer rests in the knowledge that it has been ploughed, sowed, with the seeds growing within the earth" - paraphrase from @aantonop
We know as well as anyone how the bear market hurts the whole industry. However, we strongly believe that this is the best time for laying the groundwork not only for development but also in partnerships and strengthening the bonds with your community.
THIS IS THE TIME TO ACT.
As someone who joins the Steem ecosystem only recently, it's clear from our outsider perspective that @ned you still have a very strong community support. Colourful as their language may be, at least they are still here on the blockchain.
The bear market won't easily destroy the Steem community, that we can obviously see. It's why @coingecko is confident with our 22k steem power vested in our account.
We bid you all the best in what you have planned following the layoff and hope to read more from you soon.
This is the kind of thing I wish more people would see as clear as you do! love it
Awesome response. The community support is still strong. Many are invested (both time and SP) and definitely want STEEM to succeed. Failing is not an option.
Definitely, most who have the capital see this as opportunity and it should be seen as that - opportunity.
Thanks for staying with us!
