For those living on a budget like me, the answer would be definitely yes, at least in terms of financial support.
As a senior in university, I have not got a job in real life yet, so posting and relevant activities on Steem are probably my bread and butter. Steem has played a pivotal role in contributing to my total income with a significant amount of money monthly though it is not stable as I expected. But once I accumulate a huge number of STEEMs over a while, it will be a big deal. Thanks to that, I seem to be more motivated to work harder and be prepared to face any obstacles in outside world.
I strongly believe that the price of STEEM will be recovered in the future, but the point is how long it will take. For some having a plan committing to this platform in a long run, time does not seem to bother them too much. But in my case, if necessary, I will withdraw some STEEMs to pay off for my needs such as covering my bills or purchasing new items. I am clueless about investment, so I think it would be much safer for me to keep a lump sum of cash on hand .
The points mentioned above are beneficial impacts that Steem has on me from financial perspective, and I hope others are affected positively by Steem in some ways.
Fun. So sublime.
