I jumped on the bandwagon in 2017. God that was a great year. Seemed everything was lined up. We had the manpower with more joining every day, post pay out was great, then 2018 happened.
In 2017 I could see the greed rampant but in 2018 all I could see were the people still around helping keep the blockchain alive. In some ways I'm glad 2018 happened because it allowed the true Steem loyalists to shine.
Who knows when the market will bounce back but I'm with you 100% on this one.
"Wishing different isn't going to create different but what does is having the ability to speak one's mind without censorship, being able to use ones stake as chosen and participating in the development of an economy that is looking to be like no other economy the world has ever seen before."
Its why I stick around :)
2018 was a great year for Steem, so much happened and the developers finally got working instead of sitting back on their value ;D When we look back, 2018 will be one of the seminal years that will have defined Steem as so many of the important people in the future will have made it through the crush.
So much to love and more to come on Steem.
