I can definitely relate. When STEEM was worth three dollars, I was able to fund my own steem-related projects like Steem Center, a support center for newcomers with multilingual operators. I had a the offices lined up and a staff ready to go... and then the price tanked and I had to take a step back to wait for a recovery before resuming. When the price finally does bounce back, I suspect new life will be breathed into various other projects like mine and we'll see a lot more third-party development.
