CULTURE
Well, we all know that this HF21 is something that will make this place a bit different from what it was almost 3 years and hopefully bridge the gap between end users and investors.
I don't want to talk about technical aspects, neither am I going to talk about economical changes that took place. The thing i wanna talk about is a cultural shift that is needed if we wanna see STEEM being numero uno blockchain out there.
Steem most definitely is one of the most advanced blockchains cryptosphere has to offer and yet, greed and selfishness made this place look like shit.
I'm just stating the obvious, we could have done so much but I guess we got stuck with the idea of getting rich quickly with little to no effort - sadly it doesn't work that way. Having ability to change and adopt is what makes us superior.
We need to admit to ourselves that we fucked up and there's nothing wrong with it as long as we accept that truth and start building in different direction. Although Decentralization is a blessing i would argue that people can't control their low desires and will take short term over long run - I know, i have done the same mistake 2000 times in my life, but at least I'm ready to accept it as a fact and work on my mindset.
Price
Personally i couldn't care less, current price is not real reflection of intrinsic value we have to offer. Negative prefix around steem remains the same and we can't blame only steemit for that. Although they did play a vital role in it i somehow think we are all as responsible...
Remember during late 2017 when prices skyrocket in like literally few days? We're going to witness the same shit over and over again, market cycle has its own nature. But this time you have the time and power to position yourself better than the last time.
I wanna slap myself every day for not having money to invest as i believe this is the best opportunity one has in a lifetime, and no, I'm not being pathetic or hyped like monkey. I know there is a risk when investing, regardless if we're talking about money or time, there is almost no difference...
Lets build some crazy shit - It will eventually pay off!
