I´ve also joined on the way down, like the majority. What matters is when you sell, not the fluctuation in the prices.
Steemit is doing the right path, the price of STEEM doesn´t reflect anything that´s happening in here. Otherwise we would be going up. But BTC controls the mood of the markets, if it is going up, everything follow, and the opposite is also true.
Just yesterday we saw another project being introduced to the Steemit community, one that I personally like a lot, Magic Dice.
So I know what you are feeling right now, but don´t let FUD affect you, blockchain technology is here to stay and they can delay the mass adoption, but it is inevitable that it will happen.
