Congrats! I'll celebrate 10 years fairly soon, which seems crazy. What is crazier that my account was worth 10x what it is now some years ago when I had far less staked. We've seen the highs, but now we are in the lows. An impressive number of people have stuck around as I think they understand the real value of the platform. Some just need the money, but it is hard to earn anything elsewhere. We have to get some balance of the different types of user.
I've not downvoted anyone in a while as it got too stressful and I get blamed for various crap anyway. Not that anyone can prove I'm nasty and anyone who knows me wouldn't believe it. I just try to stay positive and get on with life.
