You seem to have gone through a lot this past year, and I want to say thank you so much for all the information you've gathered and given to us! Right now I know STEEM isn't very much on the cryptocurrency market but honestly, the reason I joined Steemit is for the people like you said. The nice ones are great to interact with and talk with. I know it's a bit hard for those who may be dependent on STEEM as their income but I can't really say that there will be a great boost in STEEM's near future. For now, we can only hope that the community strives to make quality posts and help gain value in STEEM, and we can start by doing so ourselves!
