Happy steemitversary the 2nd @thedarkhorse 😉 you are one of the great steemians I knew on this platform and I learned a lot from you.
I still remember many discussion a year ago about steem price and SMT with some friends who are leaving or Probably on hibernation state (they'll comeback I wish) and as the final statement I said, if I haven't seen the fruitful days of steem.. then I will stay till the day it falls (though I hope it will never falls or shuts forever)
About the free dv, I think I'll keep my dvp just for the right time and right post, I can't bear the retaliate while my own post not really on good engagement stage too. Will see for a couple more months😀
I don't downvote often, but when I do it's very deserved. I prefer to help nuke accounts that are plagiarizing as that is one of my pet peeves. Hate content thieves.
When the price increases you will see people return. The ones that have their accounts sitting dormant will likely be back trying to earn steem once they feel it's worth the effort.
