How important is Steem? You might noticed we are something very different than "normal" crypto investors, they just buy and trade. We, believe it or not are on a completely different level.
Skills you learned here, you improved your English, you improved your writing, you were active every day writing about things you love, you learned how to network, you learned how to TRADE in one of the most volatile markets in human history, hell you even learned how to code. Without Steem you would probably be without those skills. While some of you are writing your Steem obituaries I can only say one thing..
THANK YOU STEEM for improving my life!
Sometimes people forget how Steem changed their life for the better, sure price dipped a lot, but never forget the real human growth you experienced while hanging here.
My account was once worth 110,000.00$, now it is worth 6,400.00$, Woah Jimmy! I cashed out 10,000.00$, so you could say that my overall loss for this season is 93,000.00$, also I was hacked and 1.600$ were stolen from my Bittrex account.
Tough year for sure, in hindsight I should of cashed out much more, but it is what it is. We can't change the past, so we need to keep on moving forward. Consequences of wild crypto markets are dire, it will probably get much worse before it gets better, but I'm sure we will weather this storm if we keep one thing in perspective, Steem is different than the rest.
You might be a girly girl, but once you go through Steem price cycles you might notice something hard and cold forming between your legs, yeah those are newly made balls of steel. Congrats ladies, you're all Steemians now. We all have balls of steel, when you power down though you only have normal balls ;)
