Yeah, progress can be really slow, but hopefully the master plan starts getting revealed and it helps us all move onward and upward.
I wouldn't mind the purchasing power from $5/$10 Steem. The rewards wouldn't be great though. That would be difficult to deal with. Still, at some point, the price has to go up. Otherwise, it's likely to die eventually.
The rewards at 5/10 Steem suited me, the only issue being the money grabbers coming back with their piss-poor content, and 'only' vested Steem power to promote themselves. Proof of stake we are though 😊
Any time the money comes in, so do the money grabbers. It's disappointing, but it's something that we can expect. If we get a solid, healthy community going, then we'll be able to survive/thrive despite them.
Yes for sure. It is my hope that those of us who are here through the quiet times benefit when the next upwards move arrives, and that it's not just the ones that appear at the same time.
