My trouble is that the penetration of steem is so small and decreasing. I have no problem in waiting. I am a trader/investor in many different markets. I am not dependent on the income from steem. When I started I liked the interaction, still do. I believe this platform have potential. However it is not achieved critical mass. Also the front end of Steemit is in no way user friendly like any of the popular social media platforms. Therefore it’s funny that you commented that you have to talk about steem but no one need to talk about YouTube:) I agree

I exclusively invest in projects. Few for a long time. Most of them didn’t survive. Lower prices and long bear market in the alt coins made it tough for most.
