@barrydutton, first let me say that I find your challenging of nonsensical commenters hysterical and awesome! Upvote just for that alone my friend...

I am encouraged by Steem's resilience in the face of market turmoil. It's a testament to strong demand and confidence in the currency. Both positive signs in a rocky market.

I do think we see consolidation here for a while: a great time to trade the currencies, but not for any substantial adding or selling of shares. Long term, I remain bullish on Steem, though.

Really enjoy the enthusiasm and energy in your posts, my friend!
