I hear ya on this @heymattsokol ! Steem is certainly not my biggest or most successful crypto investment, but it is one of my favorite. I certainly put more time into my Steem investment than anything else. For me, Steem holds the possibility of showing world what crypto looks like beyond just monetary exchange. I've made the personal decision to post all of my short fiction writing (a professional hobby for me) on SteemIt to underscore my commitment to the platform and to hopefully be a positive player in the "proof of brain" space here on Steemit. This platform certainly has its issues, but I'm game, I'm here to do my best to add value to the platform and to show the world that content creators can own their own content and profit off of it without have to pay the intermediary leeches or give up their privacy. Go Steemit!!
