I think I have made EXACTLY the same mistake. I was very active in bitshares community for something like 9 months, and when Steem just born I felt... betrayed :(

Funny thing is, that right now I think, that steem can actually save bitshares in the long term.

Remember one thing, and I am keeping reaping that to myself: the most important thing in being a milliner is the knowledge how to earn first million, not a million itself.
