Real value of Steem

In the past few weeks, many of us are getting sentimental about the performance of steem in the coin market cap relative to the other rising alt coins out there. The ranking of steem had ocassionaly dropped below #60, which is stressful for some investors who think they are loosing their investments today.

For those who are centered into the monetary value of steem, it's crucial that their investment grow in terms of value over the value of their fiat that they invested into steem.

This is understandable, since none of us really wanted to loose our hard earned money for nothing.

While for some of us who are focused on the social aspect of steem, its monetary value and coin market cap ranking is irrelevant, especially for those who came to Steemit to build a network of like-minded users. These are the users that you can't find in any other centralized social media network.

"I came for the money but stayed for the community."

I don't recall where or who exactly said that, but that statement stuck on my mind since the day that steem's monetary value has slowly dropped until this day.

I joined Steemit a month before its peak and kept my journey active as I wnet through its lowest point. I stayed active for the community and not for its present value.

With the ongoing development of MIRA, I believe we can scale and be ready for mass adoption. With the help of DApps, a fair distribution of rewards won't be a far fetched goal anymore.

Stay positive everyone!
