oh bro....FELT you on this one!!!!!! re steemed!
"This has also made me reflect about Steem and the community. Last year was our hurricane event as the markets made most come to their knees and even more quit outright. Even projects and accounts that held millions of Steem Power had to rethink their strategies as it was no longer sustainable to survive off of liquidating Steem alone. This meant business model were now broken and needed to be reborn in a different way. The ecosystem moved into a survival mode, instead of a thriving one. However, many lessons were taught thru this time and focus came back into the equation as the community rallied behind each other to send the message that they are the true underlying value of the ecosystem.
Since then, like my mango tree, we have seen careful focus on growing slowly and sustainably. The question now lies if we will be able to sees its fruits? I think the experience has put us into questions that are necessary to determine what the future for each of us lies. However, I believe that the foundation of what has been built is what made it survive in the first place; community and engagement. While prices have rebounded, engagement measured by daily active accounts continues to be flat near the bottoms of the metrics being measured. New accounts continue to be created and while retention is improving thanks to the communities fostering engagement, churn continues to be an issue. It is up to the community to lay the seeds that will bring fruit so we need to continue to think outwards instead of inwards for the improvement to take place. It will not be easy but I think there are necessary steps to take this experience and build from it to ensure that the fertile foundation being laid is to harvest fruit for the future."
