Let's wait and be patient. And in the meantime let's have fun together.

That's my motto too! I would add 'build' to it though.

I don't fear a shutdown of the blockchain because of low rewards for witnesses. For the price of what it costs now to run a server, I'm sure there are always ppl willing to run a witness.

I was fearing it for a while because of the financial situation at Steemit Inc. around DEC 2018 though. The costs for the infrastructure that many Dapps use was really high and Steem Inc. was paying for it.

But they tackled that this year with the introduction of MIRA and RocksDB, lowering the costs by a lot, and even started to generated revenue with an advertisement model.
