This post is really timely, I believe a lot of conscious as well as unconscious steem-minds have been waiting for a stool like this to stand taller, and see clearer. However low steem value decreases, its value to me has not dropped a day since I joined.

Admittedly, I heard I could make a few more bucks when I joined, but I just really wanted an audience and a window to the world, so I thought, let's kill two birds with one sling. Well, it all changed, I ended up longing more for the sense of community, I reached out to people to read my posts, and enjoyed getting ignored and responded to, all the same way.

My point is, I wish I joined steemit when it was this or even more devalued. I wish I had the necessary investment to keep it, it's more beautiful and even clearer now. I don't post as often recently, with reasons, and all that will change soon because steemit has slowly become one of the details that forms my daily history. Now I simply say to people "bring your dreams to a community called steemit", and it always gets them interested.

Bottom line, I'm down with steemit for as long as it will have me, and I hope that we all find even the tiniest bit of our dreams here, and build a world out of this place, and I don't know what steemit creators wanted but I think that growing staying numbers here is the big beautiful picture!

(sorry Terry I always make it so long, it's either like this, or nothing... Still learning 😄)
