Congrats on reaching minnowhood and I hope more people continue to have faith in what we are trying to build. Steemit inc is not steem and the more we remove their influence over the chain the better, we don't want single points of failure.

As currency becomes distrabuted it will be used more and become more vaulable over time. Think if one day we had several dev houses deploying upgrades to the chain with witnesses being the gate keepers and we had more projects brining in value

Unforunately we're past the rewarding individuals for using the site phase and we're moving into a new phase of building dapps that will bring in revenue and create a sustainable ecosystem.

It is by all means your choice to do with your money and time as you please though if you don't agree with the way things are going. But these things are risks and take time thats how tech works
