14 months? I joined only shortly after you, then. I am still here because for all the flaws, it is an interesting and ambitious project and I'm damn curious to see what comes of it. Also, I have met many nice people here. The few bucks I get per post is also nice; it is peanuts when compared to real work pay, sure, but better than the zero I got from all my years blogging before.
But mainly I'm very curious to see where this whole thing ends up. I'd be thrilled if crypto catches on, esp if it is Steem, but I'd be just as happy if just the social network part of this continues to improve.
