These are some tough days for #STEEM indeed, lots of mixed emotions as well as well as change around every corner. Lots of folks in the crypto space are either throwing their hands in the air or are double downing, parallel to that crypto development is either stagnant or increasing workload. The projects remaining true to the ideology of decentralized assets are tanking while the centralized bank coins (XRP) are stealing the spotlight. But there is nothing new under the sun.

It's great to see you helping put things into perspective and taking each step to achieve your goals. As for myself, I'm struggling to know where I stand. My activity on this platform has decreased since I started focusing more on my education, but I still believe that #STEEM is a top 5 asset and the development around it validates the claim. But I can totally see how many Steemians (like my wife) have dropped out of the network due to the market and whatever other factors, but I decided to stay and hopefully contribute in whatever ways I can. Unfortunately streaming is out of the equation since my graphics card died, but I'm in the process of working towards a replacement and then get back on the grind. It's great seein' you maintain a steady output of streams though (even though I choose not to watch RDR2 because of spoilers) and I commend you for that. Keep up the good work @ericwilson!
