I think it was a year ago that I watched the steem be below $ 1 without a doubt is a difficult time for all those people who bet every day to this great platform.

But the question is: should we be alarmed by this fall?
In my personal opinion I think not !.
These falls are mainly due to the fact that the token is having its respective correction, at this time there is much fear in the market due to the fall of the btc, many people choose to sell their savings for fear that it will go down even more.
And if perhaps we can see in the next few days a lower price not only in the BTC and STEEM, but in most cryptocurrencies. I remember a year ago that I was still a rookie in this world, the fear I felt because the cryptomendas were falling suddenly, I really did not know much about this world and I still have to learn a lot more, it's a very volatile world you should know in what moment you should risk and at what moment you should pause.
Many will be thinking about leaving the platform because they will say that this is no longer profitable, but I think that those people are the ones we do not need in steemit, those people who got used to seeing the steem and steemdollar at a high price.
In December when the sbd had its outbreak word spread quickly around the world and many people created their accounts and thought this would be easy money. It turns out that it is not, it is likely that many were lucky with their post and others not but steemit during the course of 2018 has been responsible for cleaning the platform, by this I mean running to all those users who thought that steemit was a Dairy cow and they could squeeze it whenever they pleased, they are plagiadores users and they fill this wonderful community with a fucking content! and excuse the expression but it's like that !!!
This year many communities have been born and consolidated, where their main objective is to encourage and support a large number of users to share excellent quality content and hard work, which has turned out to be a great success.
I have the great honor of being a member of one of the most recognized communities on the platform with 
Reflexion
Do not get carried away by fear, this will only be momentary, you should not be scared and run away, in these difficult times is where the platform needs you the most, the more content is published and is of excellent quality, more opportunity we will have to move forward and achieve our goal ..
As my mother always told me: "Son to bad weather, you have to give a good face"
