"I also thank many of you early adoptors for sticking through the low phase of this platform. I have immense respect for each and everyone of you and I hope to continue supporting your endeavors as we go. Steemit couldn’t have gotten this far without the people who stuck around when the internet trolls called upon doomsday. Today, we seem to have a stable price over $3 and the future looks bright."

Your statement is so very true. There are a select number that stayed with Steemit, even while at $.08, they did not flee and only return for $3.00. Those are the ones that have made the community what it is today and a large number of us know who they are.

And special thanks again @firepower for all of the work done at steemfest by you and your team. Looking forward to seeing you in the United States!
