Great read with some very good points. I personally did not like Steemit having three currencies when I started. I thought it was overkill and would confuse the non digital currency audience. It can be intimidating when learning about the platform.
However, after months of use, I am happy to say that I appreciate STEEM, STEEM POWER, and the wonderful SBD :) All three tokens serve their purpose well and once you wrap your brain around it, it makes sense.
I hope they don't take it away.
I also totally agree, stop reacting to price movements, specially when it comes to development. Users need to realize that price movement is part of a true free market. Steemit is beta and this is still an experiment, so there will be price crashes. As long as Steemit is useful, has great development to push the platform, and eventually mainstream adoption, your value will be there later and it will be worth the wait.
Thanks for sharing @alts-david.
