Hmmm. Not sure what I feel about that @exyle. I already feel I'm working flat out here so can't increase that. Sounds like the good news part is reliant on the Steem price increasing which, as you say, isn't guaranteed.
I'm also noticing quite a lot of mumblings about people jumping ship to the new EOS platform when it's active (might have got the currency wrong) or when SMTs (is that the right term) come in. It's all quite unsettling when you're just starting out.
Hope it went really well for you Dad today and you're feeling more relaxed. 💙
