Thanks!

I suppose part of the "problem" we have here isn't just Steemit/Steem-related, it is also crypto-related.

For the longest time, people did "invest" in cryptos and there were just a handful to choose from and you bought them because you believed in the long term potential of blockchain technology.

Then — sometime in 2017 — everything went haywire, and we suddenly got this whole new paradigm that "investing" in cryptos was this FOMO day-trading speculation where people flocked around from one "flavor of the day" to another... and labelled themselves investors in the process.

Now those "chickens" have come back to Steemit to roost and everyone is so damn concerned about how to double their money next week that they have completely grown blind to the actual nature of investing... which tends to have a pretty long-term horizon.

I DO see the potential long term potential of Steem, so I will probably continue pissing into the wind until I just can't bring myself to do it, anymore!
