You have really explain the future very well by using football to narrate it, to leave your club status to be at club100 is the best thing to do, even myself I have concluded to be at club 100 and I pray for the strength to fulfill it.
You are correct that the steem price is low compared to when I joined but since is affecting the coin system so with time it will come back to normal, encouraging steemians with vote is another way of bringing in new steemians.

People are powering down because the system is becoming so boring but I think if we put heads together and support each other with vote it will be so nice. I really enjoyed reading your post.
