Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It is good that respectable accounts with large followings like you are coming up with such articles.
I believe this can motivate people to remain on the platform and work hard. Now is the time (in my opinion) to earn Steem by posting and engaging more. I have also powered up recently and I'm planning to put in some more funds in a couple of days. I believe in this platform and I'm not going to run away just because it's not ideal now. At the end of the day I'm mainly here because of the community. People here are so supportive and I love it.
I may power down one day but it's not going to be this year, or next year :) I want to see what this platform is capable of and how the community will change over the years. I might be a dreamer :D
