I am so glad to see a happy spin on the decline. How I look at it is, this is the good time for buying. If we recall the fall and rise of crypto, as you said, then we can think, "I wish I had bought when it was low" Well, now it's low! And so true that Steemit is for the community first, the joy of this place far outweighs the earnings and then the earnings are that happy reward. You see lovely comments or have a good comment conversation and think how lovely a place it is and then see your earnings later and think, oh goodness and a bit of money as well. I have to force myself to go onto Facebook for like 10 minutes a day now, just to keep up my art posts, but can't wait to get back on here. I love steemit and I think those who stay for the joy of the place and not just to earn will truly make a wonderful happy community.
