The hype of surging Steem price has ended years ago and that's a fact!

Will there be another Mount Everest? Of course NO! Will there be another rain of gold? Maybe, who knows! Facts showed that when crypto prices hiked so much in the past years, that when it went down, everyone assumed that that's the end of Cryptocurrency. Some people went from rags to riches and some went from peasant to kings. As for me, I didn't get to taste that once-in-a-lifetime game changer.

I'll be honest, I just knew Steem Blockchain last month. But thank goodness I just knew Stem Blockchain or otherwise I will be stuck in that hype. A realm of hype between hoping the price will go to the stars again OR a self-despair Steem will be just another epitome of failure! Let me make myself clear here, I'm NOT Both! Now that you know where I stand, so don't even bother to tell me that Steem is going to be a sinking Titanic!

For a person that has just begun in Steem, I must admit that the surging fire of wanting to be active at posting is burning vigorously, it's like drinking vodka while you're asleep. That's how I put it! Every single day is a new day for me to discover, to learn, to research or to even get objected, you name it! This soul is burning baby! I can do this stuff every single day.

Reality Check

Wake up, people!

Now let's be real and do a reality check, here comes the real question, Steem value has become so low now, Is it still practical for us to be in this blockchain? Can we really gain something here? Don't you think that you might just waste time being active here? Have you might ever think about this reality check questions? If not, you better start thinking now.

Foreword

Just so you know, I did my homework. After spending a little amount of time and sweat looking for the significant implication of Steem blockchain towards its user, I found different opinion and argument every single analysis I do. It's both Yes and No! I have very minimal knowledge of Steem Blockchain and I rely solely on facts and figures to lead me the way. But, based on the homework I did, I ultimately found that it is wiser to be here now on Steem Blockchain. Why? Let me justify the findings I did.

Why some are leaving Steem Blockchain?

Before we dive into that findings, I think it is wise to tell why some are starting to leave the Blockchain at this very moment.

There were many reasons that led them leaving the jet plane. I mean, we cannot blame them and certainly won't push them. At the end of the day, it's their choice and we should respect them.

Here is the Top 3 I found the very reasons they wish to leave Steem.

Reason 1 - The Price

Now, let's be real. The Steem price is low. If you don't know by now, I advise you to go and a have a look. It's not a surprise that this is listed as the top reason after reading a quite number of post. I may be wrong and I stand corrected. Do please correct me! I really appreciate constructive comments.

Now truth-be-told, are you having second thoughts? You should be. But, I'm gonna stop you there. Steem Blockchain shouldn't be viewed from only one angle. You have to view this blockchain from all 360 corners. We have to go back to our most basic purpose of being in Steem. Why are you here? The money? The content? The community? Why?

Yes, the price might be low, but I'm not looking this blockchain just an investor. I am looking far beyond that and you should too! How about you?

Reason 2 - The Content

This is where I start getting internal confusions and I think most of the people here are having the same thoughts. At least that's what I found when I did this small research. The big question here is, What is good content? People are leaving because contents are found to be more and more crap content. Don't blame me, I didn't say that. I just quoted.

Even when I just started in this Blockchain, it was the very first advice I was given, "Post a good content". But what is good content? Should it be something Steem related? Philosophies? Projects? High-end video? Blog? Vlog? Product hunting? Travel? Games? Can we even guarantee that this will give value to the blockchain? Again don't blame me, this is what I found.

If this was the very first question I get, I will say straight to their faces, Absolutely Yes! From my point of view, everything we post is good content, Minus the ones that didn't obey the rules! Yes, good content gives values to the blockchain. As long as you obey the rules, everything is good content. Remember that!

Reason 3 - The Spammer

One of the perks of having a good technology is that there will always be some people finds an easier way to go around it. Steem Blockchain is a wonderful piece of invention during this time. As we know, it brings back the philosophies of appreciating hard work. Steem give credits to people that did their homework and making sure that it is enjoyable to read. Yet, where there is good there is bad.

There will always be that some people who want to make their life easier. They will try to find a backdoor or a shortcut. The blockchain is about earning your way through! Not cheating! This is the third reason some people are just leaving.

Are you still with me?

Now that being said, I hope that your willpower of Steem is still burning in you. I know mine is still burning, after all that reading I did! Why? Because Steem Blockchain is so much more that! It's unlocked so many impossibilities in the industry which we thought won't! Platforms like Steemit, Dtube, Tasteem, TripSteem, Steemhunt and many other more platforms are evolving each and every day making Steem Blockchain more and more valuable. It's like a hatching cocoon, you get to see a beautiful butterfly. But this one, you get to see every day. Best of all, most of the platforms are still in Beta but it has made a hell of an impact towards redefining social media.

The 5 Reasons You Should Stay Now

Now that you have a clearer mind why some are abandoning the ship, let me dive you to the findings I did and the very reasons why is the good time to be here and to stay here now!

Reason 1 - The Community

I must admit, the Steem community is by far the most remarkable community among social media platforms. Supportive, dedicated and even having a good laugh. I won't say much about this. You know who you are!

I don't doubt that this is the first reason listed why people choose to stay and join Steem Blockchain.

The community itself is the pillar of Steem Blockchain. It is the backbone of Steem. Day by day, the foundation of this pillar is bonding stronger and better. When people say "two heads are better than one" but I say "thousands of heads are better than one". There are great people here. There are fantastic community in this blockchain. All heading towards the same goal, making Steem Blockchain better!

Reason 2 - The Content

Hey, isn't this contradict with the reason people are leaving? Hell No!

The content by far is evolving better and better. Curators and Moderators have definitely done a great job to ensure the contents are good content.

People are contributing to many different types of content that have a significant value towards its purpose. There are contents that relate to Steem, which is awesome. There are contents about dedicating new ideas towards the platform, which is magnificent. There are those who do Blogging, which is Livelier. At the end of the day, it's about making Steem Blockchain a place to visit and stay. Not just to hang around and leave.

Reason 3 - The Platforms

I would like to really emphasize this reason. This reason is really the one that has caught my attention. Blockchain itself is in reality, not something quite new in the industry. It has been here for quite a while now. Used in other industries like Smart Contract, Smart Payment and etc. But also, in reality, people are not quite aware how great thou Steem! I must admit this reason should be on the top but frankly, but people have spoken!

Steemit itself and other decentralized application can be considered very new in Steem Blockchain. It serves a purpose to bring Steem towards something unpredictable ahead which will Wow the world! If you look closely, the platforms are new and some are still in the earlier phases. Though it's still at this initial stage, it has Rocked the Blockchain! It will be not an epitome of failure but an embodiment of success!

Reason 4 - The Self-Reward

You might be guessing, Self-Reward? Is it money related? NO!

Self-Reward here means that we will get the opportunity to learn and grow ourselves apart from just being in the blockchain. We will learn to explore this blockchain and learning here is something that is really beautiful and definitely invaluable. We will be apart of something that is humongous! Remember and have faith that this blockchain will evolve like no one ever seen before. I have faith in this blockchain not just because it has taught me so much but the way it is evolving, unbelievable. So, sit tight, hang on and enjoy the show!

Reason 5 - The Impossibilities

By far, Steem blockchain has seen evolving with tremendous growth. It's like a plague infecting those that have similar great minds. But, we just don't want this good news affecting those that know. We also want to educate those that haven't got any idea what Steem Blockchain is all about!

We want them to be on-board! Steem itself has re-route how social media works. We are fervent about Steemit is currently working on something new and we just can't wait especially the recent introduction of MIRA. All the other decentralized application too are working very hard to evolve each day. All for the best of Steem Blockchain.

Denouement

All that said and done, I hoped that it has helped you to know clearer why some are not in the game anymore.

Now, is the right time to be in this blockchain. I perceive that there is a new breed of Steemians here. A breed of much stronger, diversified and united! We now are not just looking Steem as a platform from a single view but throughout all the other views from each other towards uplifting Steem Blockchain surpassing excellent and beyond!

The Journey to Eden was never meant to be travelled alone. That travelled road lies ahead does not promise you a smooth and a silky way. But, when we do reach the end of the road, we will find ourselves not just the bright light but along together holding hands walking side by side.

I thank you for your time reading this writing and I really appreciate if you can leave a thoughtful comments.
