I love this graphic outlining the emotional cycle of investing.
One of the reasons I'm so invested in Steem tokens (relative to my crypto portfolio) is because there is utility in the token and the platform in general. There are a lot of other solid blockchain projects out there as well, but let's be honest, there is also a lot of speculative crap too.
Like any business, there needs to be a problem worth solving along with good execution. Steem has its drawbacks but given more time and scale they can be overcome. However, it offers a viable social media alternative that protects free speech and remunerates its users rather than just advertisers so I can only see it getting better from here. I'm certainly hooked!
