RE: Account deactivation scheduled for next week

in #steem5 years ago

I can understand your feelings. Many have already left Steem.
However, pulling out your tokens now might not be the best idea since they are worth so little. I didn't check your wallet, so I don't know how much is actually in your account, but I'm betting that the price of Steem will be going up again. My recommendation would be to wait until the price goes up before taking your tokens out. If you leave them powered up for now, you even earn interest on what is powered up. Your master password never expires, so you should be able to access your account at any time, even if it takes a year for the price to go up.

If you do decide to leave Steem forever, you might consider handing your account over to someone else, since opening an account can be a challenge for some. You don't need to give up your tokens; take them out and then hand the master password to someone who could use the account.

Having said all that: I too have felt frustrated at the way it becomes more and more difficult to have any meaningful participation here and have rejoiced when I learned of other platforms that were to compete with Steem. Unfortunately, those platforms all have their issues as well, so I have yet to find anything better. It seems that the crypto-community is mostly about greed, so whatever platform comes along becomes corrupted. There are a few of us that actually do wish to see crypto-currencies become a new world currency and we wait and do what we can in the meantime. Developers are working at systems that will eventually make that happen, but it will take time for these systems to go mainstream. When that happens, I think you will regret having powered down and taken your funds out. I believe that patience will pay off in the long run.

Wishing you the best in whatever you decide.
