Thank you for the insightful comments. As a Gen-Xer, I lived through the 90's as an adult. Exciting times to say the least. I see the parallels of crypto to the internet itself. Very few people understood the internet in the beginning but knew they had to join, for whatever reason. Mostly because of sheer gravity.
I am all-in on crypto/blockchain and everything it represents. I see Steemit as a survivor because of the community and the tech. I'm in for the long-haul and agree there are fortunes to be made and lost.
I hope great success to all the early adopters.
