You guys who survived the crash from around $4 to 7 cents when Steem blockchain was about 6 months old with not much to do but blogging and with much fewer users, and even more who endured the long and painful wait before interest started to build up again, are truly extraordinary!
Now, although we haven't been and probably won't be even close to such a situation, I've still seen many disappearing from my feed. Well, their loss for not keeping it going, and my gain for finding a few more people to follow, who don't succumb to a little pressure.
I'm long term invested in the Steem blockchain. If we want investors on the Steem platform, I think they will most always choose the option that seems more profitable to them. Sometimes they'll take actions to protect their investments, like selling at high points and buying back when the price has gone back down. Unless it is more profitable for them to stay powered up, but in this case we need to make sure they really know all their options well, and not just the universal market mechanisms.
