Thank you!

I think these things need to be SAID and SHARED as a reflection that we have built a really vibrant community here. Is it just a small fraction of the million+ members? Sure! But we're here "creating something."

In truth, I don't see the falling Steem/Crypto prices as a BAD thing, really. I think it shakes out a bunch of people who don't actually help this place grow.

A couple of days back @stellabelle posted about "coming back" and realized that her perception had changed because there really IS a lot of good stuff happening here. Maybe not on "Steemit" but there are tons of really good dApps being built on the Steem blockchain. Actifit, SteemMonsters and several others are going FAR beyond just our own internal ecosystem... and yet, they are based on STEEM, ultimately.

OK, so maybe it'll end up the Steemit "proper" just becomes a little "club" of 50K, 100K? deidicated users who enjoy interacting with each other. But SO WHAT? We're still part of the same greater whole...

That's good enough for me. In the meantime, I really just enjoy the writing and interacting!
