I would have powered down and abandoned ship in late 2018 if it weren't for a few friends I made here.

In January of 2019 I was introduced to Steem Monsters and was hooked pretty quickly. I soon discovered that I enjoyed it a lot more than blogging/writing and that it had more potential for me to earn Steem. I was right and I ended up earning over 2000 SP from playing in 2019. I still check in to Steemit mostly to upvote and comment and keep up with friends.

I view yesterdays news as fantastic. I'm hopeful and optimistic that the Dapps in the Steem ecosystem such as Steemit, Dtube and, Steem Monsters will fit in nicely with Tron with its emphasis on entertainment and gaming. I also realize that the new leadership can be a bit eccentric and that this whole thing could go up in flames. But at the same time to me the old Steem felt like a slowly sinking ship anyway.
