I haven’t given up hope either my friend. There are hundreds of us here...we are just buried under hundreds of posts. At least Hive account@berniesanders has the courage to speak things exactly as it is. If we give up hope this platform will eventually die.

Who wants that? You have to be mentally ill if anyone wants such a revolutionary project to die. I won’t pretend to be a saint. I am here for the rewards as 99.9% of us. I once even dreamt that Steemit could change my life(I know..it is silly) Who knows....it might will. But I ain’t giving up...nor hope nor the efforts.

It is a platform with many flaws for now, were mostly whales are benefiting but it is also a great chance for everyone to make something different. Steemit has been a life changer in some occasions...I’ve seen it through great posts mostly in third world countries. Just never give up hope and keep dreaming my friend.
