Your call whether you miss the boat or not. I for one am staying. If you aren't thinking forward, you're doing it wrong. You need to understand the implications of the existence of the Steem blockchain. It is absolutely profound and is only a matter of time before it massively appreciates. I'm here to help the cause. I'm not going to be damning the efforts and work of devs that are trying to make this platform viable. Progress is progress and it isn't always a piece of cake. Trial & error, that's how you move forward.
At the end of the day, you're your own master and call your own shots. The shot I'm calling for myself is to participate, invest, and help build this community. Gotta be in it to win it and I'm straight up down for the cause. All in.
