"Community is the most important thing in cryptocurrency" - I can only agree, tough times come and go, but this incredible community supporting STEEM won't go anywhere.
Give without "losing anything" is a concept that people are not used to, and the transition process to mass adoption takes time, and we are already 3 years on the road. And no other project has that, and time can´t be manipulated like prices, so building a community will take time.
