I read halfway thru and stopped reading due to me being tired of hearing what if's as I believe in this platform and know roller coaster rides is how $uccess is made - but decided to read your conclusion and it is basically what I was going to say hehe
Let them go and they will admire our endurance and see our success(long-term). Whatever happens, I'm ready! If it g0es down, I will continue buying cheap and if it rises I will still be buying for long-term while watching my m0ney double, triple, quadruple in size ;) Hell, I was purchasing bitcoin when it was in the $400-$600's during '2014' - half 0f 0ne here, half of 0ne there! S0, Steem to me, is penny Stocks!
Nice post by the way
