A Message to my Friends and Followers of Indonesia
The crypto market has seen some turbulent times. Both the price of STEEM and SBD are down considerably since January. Good content is becoming more difficult to find and some people are losing faith.
Have you stopped posting because the price of STEEM is down? Well if that is the case then good, because you are obviously here for the money and money only. But if you believe in Steemit, if you believe you produce good content, if you have been involved in the community aspects of Steemit then I bet, like me, you are still posting.
The price of STEEM and SBD have been considerably higher than now, and believe me, in time, they will go that high again and even higher.
Use this time wisely. Don’t stop posting because you are not earning enough. Do you really think if you stop posting now and then come back for the good time when the price is high, people here will support you? Be consistent. Continue to produce great if not awesome content and while we have this downturn, use it to grow you’re following, to engage with other, and as the weeks and months go by, your STEEM and SBD holdings will grow.
Continue to engage within the communities, as this is where relationships are fostered and grow as this will be key to your success on steemit. If you have joined a community and are no engaging with them, don’t expect anything in return. But if you engage with them, they will engage with you.
When the prices rise again you will be very very glad that you have done this.
I know not everyone is a great writer, but there are many ways you can earn STEEM on Steemit. If you watch this video you will find other ways.

There are also contents that you can enter and we have one on the way. Yesterday I spoke with @Mrday. He is a very active member of the Indonesian community on the steemitBC discord server. Always helping, always welcoming people, and always answering questions. His community spirit rocks and if you ask me, he will be a Steemain to watch moving forward.
So @Mrday is going to run a contest in the next few days – with a prize of $5 SBD that I have sponsored. So hope over to his account and follow him so you don’t miss out on this contest. And while you are there, engage with him because like I said he is one to watch moving forward.
In addition to this, today I placed a witness vote for @vesteem – maybe you will consider them too
Finally
Don’t lose faith in Steemit. Learn to understand how it works, what it is all about. Don’t come for the money or expect awesome financial rewards, but come for the community, to make friends. That way you will not be disappointed and you will stay forever
Very well said Paula! I like to remind people too that this so-called 'low' price is actually HIGH if you've been here since the beginning. Even last spring and summer I would have died for a 2$ Steem or SBD.
Definitely good riddance to all of the 'fair weather friends', and I hope they don't come back when the price skyrockets again. But if they do, well I know who they are and they won't be getting my support the 2nd time around.
I definitely remember the days when my upvote was always rounded up to $0.00 and the joy or earning $0.1 BSD for all the blood, sweat and tears :) In fact if anyone needs a reminder of how you can't take anything for granted, just throw away your master key and start over again :D
mrs @lyndsaybowes, i have not felt the moment as you felt it, l can'nt imagine when steem like the price of a bottle of water that does not contain water, it seems sad at that time ?, I was here when the price of steem can to buy a ring to apply for a girl, that's just an example. conclusion is you are great people who are very consistent with quality work that can survive when steem is just a point of no value, now you become something that is very useful for others. this is my appreciation for you, the enormous love for our community in this world.
Much respect for you and the others who continue to persist through this. If you feel sad, just remember how much money you make posting on facebook :) xo
Absolutely yes mrs, you make me smile for that one..
what should i say mom, this is a big responsibility born of very strong encouragement, yes mom, you are who have made me strong so far, all friends in this platform also greatly contribute to this, me, you and we are all in this steemit will be very strong if we work together, and feel the success together also, money is not everything, but we will need it for this life, so, just keep care for the quality of our content, the results will be seen later, believe me. do not forget to follow my contest soon, great love for you mom
yes we do need money for life but behind every great business is a great lot of work, in steemits case a great lot of awesome content
I am with you mom, some times where we have to make partitions for some things that are actually the same goal but the process is to different, I say here do not lose with the process, but enjoy the victory with the result as long as you consisten with this.
I will continue to make the posting, though SBD Steem and being down the price, The family steemit is much better for me, I found a lot of changes here, steemit is a great platform.
Thanks @paulag

Thanks for attention mom...
I just hope steem goes back to at least ath again

Thank you madam for the support you give to our community, you are the only person who very care with our indonesia
this is not so, I am not the only person, but thank you
Thanks again, I have to say it like that because of the many people that are in steemit only you stand out to help us, we do not know what should we reply to you madam
Exactly this.
I'm still posting away, irrelevant of steem prices.
...and I hope you are correct - that when the prices go back up, and you see all the 'money or nothing' crowd come back - with no supporters, while the rest of us enjoy the rewards and support each other.
I know I am correct :-)
....now you're worrying me..😂
I strongly agree with what you write @paulag, do not ever discouraged because the price STEEM and SBD down, this is our chance to show that we remain consistent and still work in steemit without thinking about the price of SBD and STEEM, because it is the rules are the market will experiencing the ups and downs of prices.
thank you - do go check out @mrdays contest

Thanks for this motivational post. I think so too. That I also get money here in the Steemit network through the post I see more as a pleasant side effect as a main motivation. It is much more important for me to be part of this fascinating network and to be able to exchange ideas with interesting people.

I think there was a time like perhaps same time last year and many stop and came back regretting that they stop.
