fantastic post, sometimes hard truths dont digest too well, but facts remain, its not easy on steem at the start, I still find it challenging to say the least. And wow I feel rather honored to be on your follow list worthy enough for a shout out in this post. thank you so much :-)
Thank you.
My high opinion of you comes well earned. With all the focus on DApps and SMT as the future to the moon, the overlooked part is the bird in hand. I think (without looking for exact numbers) I figured recently all the liquid Steem held on exchanges could be soaked up by current active users if we all held around 2500 Steem each. Currently that would be about a 1200.00 investment, but not that long ago it would have been around a 600.00 investment. Of course, only a fraction of that would need soaked up before scarcity mindsets kicked in and prices began to rise dramatically.
The efforts you have made here as a witness and member of the community is one that recognizes the value of the bird in hand, something that has felt like many witnesses have been blind to in my time here. Thank you so much for all that you do here, and what a winning combination of you and Ash as a witness team. Your red fish and minnow leagues is a brilliant way to build camaraderie while encouraging an investment in the chain and platform. I am hopeful by the time I someday reach Dolphinhood you may have a league for that too.
