-=- There are a lot of ups and downs in the area of blockchain tech and this instability can really cause a lot of anxiety. Asking one self "should I continue to blog?" is a common question. This has been an issue with Steem bloggers, including my self, for a long time now. This isn't a new feeling to only the newer bloggers around these days. I have written about this subject and discussed it many times. This post by 
Hive account@bhasky does a good job helping anyone feeling these pains. If you take a different perspective it could help you understand why you are here in the first place. None of us really came here to get rich, maybe earn a little extra but not rich. Also we do don't earn a penny on other social media sites, so why do we get like this here? -=-
