Thanks for the cute animals they almost made up for those sad charts! Another thing... the Steem Monsters Kickstarter campaign reached their goal of $50,000 in one week and fighting is gonna start any day now! The development on the Steem blockchain is not slowing down and if just a couple of these hit it big it will benefit everyone on the blockchain. I feel like I'm diversified while holding steem!

I think it's easy to get discouraged when the price drops, but if a person is powering up and not selling, then who cares what the price is? Sure, the votes are smaller when the price is down, but the rewards are bigger. It all works out about the same. I'm still posting and made it over a month with a post every day. I've posted almost every day for the last 2-3 months and I'm starting to see the effect of that in terms of higher SP. It's not easy and I haven't really gained new followers, but my account is still growing and one day I think crypto will bounce back.

I've even been approached by nerved-up doomsayers who have need for both a hug and a slap across the face. I'm not giving away any hugs.

Ha ha!

Have fun with your projects!

Not just a talented artist!

The way I look at it, Bitcoin (for example) doesn't have to return to 20k to be profitable if you get in when it is low. While it is depressing to look at my account value right now, a simple increase in the value or STEEM to $1.64 will mean a double in my present value!

This is exciting opportunity for sure and the existence of a huge community like the one here on STEEMit will have great value in the next bull run.

There is always doom and gloom in the correction phases and we stay strong or get out. You know what I am doing. ;)

You've been so level-headed about the bear phase while everyone else is wanting to know when it will end.... I certainly need more patience in the short term and clarity in the longer term.

I'm not quite gloomy, but I catch myself often being impatient and discontent -- two "feelz" that can wreck a trader 8^)

Indeed mini of lost interest in steemit. But I look at the low prices as a buying opportunity. It's kind of like getting the discounted Blue Light Special. I'm in it for the long haul and see the big picture. I hope others are as well. The benefits how steemit in my opinion are priceless. Thanks so much for the article @overkillcoin

This year has brought some difficult lessons, things I already knew, but had to experience to really understand. I think we should take profits at the next bull run and build ovr positions over time. Simply holding isn't the best option available :D

I am still optimistic despite the 90% price drops. Just look at a lot of other cryptos, they're rock solid in terms of dev teams, but the markets are heavily manipulated....

Good one man!

I don't remember signing up being a problem, but there definitely was a waiting period and that doesn't go over well with this ants-in-the-pants world we live in!

Thanks for stopping by (and for understanding my reduced activity)!

You nailed the problem!

I'm trying not to spend too much time just looking at numbers. There's a lot going on that's positive for Steem, but not necessarily for Steemit. Lot of people have a hard time separating the two.

What would make a really interesting awareness graph would be the over time cumulative monthly search results for each dapp running on the Steem blockchain. As in results for "Steemit+Dtube+SteemMonsters+Busy.org...." to see how much attention we are really generating.

=^..^=

That's a good point, Alexa search and Goggle trends could tell a whole new story by comparing the dApps. Aren't you glad that Steem isn't all about Steemit... In fact, it would probably be good for Steemit's homepage to showcase top dApps so new users would realize they have a lot of options :D

I've suggested a few times that there should be another drop-down menu next to "rewards" in the navigation bar where it brings down the major dApps with direct links... pretty much fell on deaf ears and was met with excuses about "favoritism" and what have you.

Seems to me the PLUS would be to show that all the parts are working TOGETHER and there's a COMMUNITY here...

=^..^=

Yeah but where is my hug!

This pitbull disguised as a lion will hug you.

That is a rather positive post for a change... ;)

Now is the time for everyone to either post like crazy, or to delegate their steempower and put it to good use while you are busy with other things. Either way - focus on earning now. With other coins you would have to BTFD, and here you can ETFD ;)

I noticed I'm pretty much making the same from delegating steempower as I do from posting. So after having posted daily for about 6 weeks straight, I'm giving myself a break now and simply delegte my SP :)

For a change? When have I not been a rock of stability and a ray of sunshine around here??

Oh... since day 1 😂

And who knows, maybe we'll see better days in the market at some point.

Your pictures always say more than 1,000 words 😄

It is true @overkillcoin , there are many who stopped publishing with the low price, others continue trying it every time because it is what helps us although at this time it is not much. To achieve success, everything is not rosy! although now the thing is difficult because of the price that affects some in the community, it will be improved! Steem is a coin that is worth less than it really should cost, so much programming should not be lost in a hole, according to me there are some things that could be improved and implemented so that Steem is not falling so much.

On the other hand, you owe me a hug, I have it written down in a notebook!

I'm mainly sad that my vote value seems to going down even though my sp is growing :S I kinda feel stuck in one spot. I'm looking forward to changes and see what happens then :)

Whether Steem is good or bad now doesnt matter anymore. We are all in it and there is not way out :P

You have just instantly transformed this blockchain into the island of Alcatraz :O

Hhhhh I cant live in the real world. I think I am watching a lot of science fiction lately :D

The progress of dApps being created has been staggering.

This is the key. And it’s already happening before HF20, Hivemind, and SMT’s.

I used to be concerned by Steemit Inc’s lack of marketing but it’s bugging me less and less. I’m moving to a Steem-centric way of thinking and moving away from Steemit-centric.

That's a much healthier outlook considering the limited abilities of a relatively small dev team :D

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

we are all discouraged now, as long as there is hope everything is possible

Looks like everything is down and we need to wait for them to go up again.

Looks like you are repeating yourself.
