Yeah, I've definitely done a few rounds of buying lately.
I really appreciate your closing thoughts about not pushing others towards joining anymore. I still suggest it to people when it seems like a good fit for their situation, but if they aren't eager, I immediately drop it.
There will come a time for this to be mainstream but I don't think we're there yet either. It's too difficult for non-techies right now except the rare few who just know there's a special opportunity here and are willing to do whatever it takes to see it through.
As the old saying goes, you can lead a horse to water... The other part of that is while we all are looking at this and extrapolating all the possibilities, just like every investment opportunity, this is still a risk and of course nothing is promised. So I don't want to be TOO pushy just in the unlikely(IMO) case, that things just don't work out here, Steemit Inc, can't deliver on their goals etc. There's still a lot of landmines we have yet to pass, but when you look at what's been accomplished here vs other blockchain projects, it's a big difference. There's already utility and not a lot, but some thriving business here that isn't gambling. When the cryptopokalypse ends I think we'll still be standing.
