What a nice time for you to join, when everyone else is running around like chickens without their heads! I hope all the panic won't make you go away.
This platform is, and probably will always be, a roller-coaster. So, sit back and enjoy the ride!
PS: I've found your post because @brittandjosie picked you in her entry for the Pay It Forward Contest
Thanks for the comment @trincowski! I have a personality to play the long game in general and my main reason for coming to the platform was to get away from the mainstream social media model. I think Steemit is different and I like that so I think I'll ride the waves contentedly :)
