I also invested early and had great hopes for steemmonsters, what I find interesting is that the founders have delivered the opposite of what they sold us and devalued our collections. Anytime someone says anything critical a team member (or maverick) will jump right in to shut them down or offer blind praise to the founders. You say you remember $100 epics and $1000 legendaries, why have they dropped so much? Could it be that people aren't comfortable investing in a game that has a history of lying to its players ie. gameplay, bidbot, inflation, aggy/Yabba investing on insider info, aggroed using bots to put an artificial bottom on market prices, hidden market fee, tiny tournament rewards etc. @clove71 you've been awesome to deal with anytime I've interacted with you, i'm just saying that I disagree with the blind faith approach
