[EP98] - What's my place in the Steem ecosystem?

Hi everyone!
Hope you're all well!

I've lost my Steem mojo at the moment.
There was a project I was excited about, that is no longer going ahead and killed a little project I wanted to create. I still might do it, but it's definitely killed my enthusiasm. Heaped on top of that is the often inexplicable rewards system of Steem, some people getting crazy amounts of upvotes while others just continually struggle. I totally understand that, Steem, like almost everything is as much about relationships than anything else, but I've hit that stage where I need more from the blockchain than just trying to grow my account.

I do think that Steem works best when you use it in conjunction with things you're really passionate about, it's too frustrating and too big of a mystery to be your sole interest. That way, you're still creating things you care about and you're not too stressed about the Steem-rich getting richer, etc. I just now need to find my place in the ecosystem. Find what I would be proud to build or contribute to...

The loomingness of the Steem Creators Conference is definitely there as well... when I bought my flights I was super pumped about projects that I'm no longer sure about... what am I going to say when people ask me what I'm doing there?

Thanks for watching!
