Words of wisdom here @taskmaster4450! In some ways, the current lower prices of Steem are also serving as a great "sort mechanism" to separate the committed (who are still here working at it) from the "fairweather friends" who only contribute when things are going up.
As for those who complain about "greedy whales," I like to think that every additional Steem I power up, is one Steem NOT in the hands of them... so I have nothing to complain about, and feel like I am actually being part of the solution by still being here.
Re-Steeming this! I don't have much influence, but as many people as possible should really ready this.
