Exactly, I have some more Steem that I bought ready on the exchange but I currently just don't see any reason power it up and not sell it back for Bitcoin. If anything, Steem has by far the most fun investment despite the price drop. I'm hoping HF21 that will include free downvotes won't make this platform a lot more toxic with people getting triggered everywhere if they get downvoted.
We have quite a big an loyal community who want to make it all work and I'm still hoping it's all still just very early on and the code that allows for Steem to become a true success will be cracked some day.
Yes @costanza ...
... that is certainly the hope of a lot of our fellow Steemians.
It is certainly "early days," even after 3 years, so I am mostly at peace with that part.
Getting the coding "right?" Given my perception of the extraordinary difficulty factor, I am less confident of that ...
Overall, I have enjoyed having exchanges with others all over the world, so like you "hanging in" ... 👍
