Thanks @sirknight I am not leaving the space, just cashing out for now due to some of the risks and problems I see. Still a big believer in crypto long term and I do see the potential in EOS and STEEM. I just fear that anything that hits BTC hard will hit them all - whether they deserve it or not, it is the way sentiment works for better or worse.
I might even put my developers hat on again and play with the EOS testnet instead of spending my days just trading cryptos and burning hours on Steemit. Time will tell. I see this as just a hiatus to enjoy the summer for now and figure out what comes next later :)
