Yeah, there is a lot of groupspeak going on here. I have been immunized against most of it as I don't do Discord or group things really. I still suspect crypto as a whole is an illusion, but then so is fiat and I do see that the masters of the plantation want us on a cashless ledger system that tracks ever movement.

I know you have invested monetarily, and it might help if you write off that aspect of your investment here and focus more on the bonds you have made. You have made many more than I, as I am a private person not prone to having a large circle. You are thought highly of here by many (including myself, which is rare) and perhaps that has a value high enough for you to compensate for the stagnation/slow descent the valuation of the chain is taking along with the tweaks that appear to be at the expense of the common user.

Like it or not, you are one of the old timers here now, a foundation many look up to. If Steem does explode in use and value, your name will be one of the legends associated with it. So many I followed and thought the most of are no longer here, would hate for you to join their ranks. Let those who need their illusions of health have them without sadness. We are surrounded in all areas of life by those with need of their comforting illusions. That's why some write, to share the hidden nuances lost in those illusions. :)
