I haven’t sold Steem in 2 years as well. I feel like HF20 may increase the worth of it all by setting some boundaries and model the platform on meritocratic algorithms. I don’t know much about it but it seems like a winning way to adapt to an ever changing tech-scape.
Holding my Steem also comes from the heart and I sincerely hope that the positive impact you refer to, getting more people interested in Steemit, happens.
