Do you feel the sense of “community” is growing?

Perhaps it’s because I am here for over a year now and it’s natural growth but it seems with this recent downturn in price it really highlited a certain sense of community that I don’t know if I saw in this amount before. I think with the low price a lot of the fly by night “get cash now” types being inactive has let more of the true community flourish, does anyone else get that feeling right now?

You notice you don’t see rolling stone writers posting right now and many others who made good profitable posts. This sort of lets me know who is actually interested in helping build this place and who just wants to extract value for themselves. It also really lets me know who I want to support on this platform. I tend to look for what I deem as quality posters plus ones that are interesting in growing and supporting the community. In some ways what I see in my feed over last couple months looks “healthier” than many previous months, again it could be just me.

I also notice projects springing up even during the downturn like Hive account@steem-ua just recently and I think that’s a good sign. Crypto to me has always been a long term venture so I tend to look 5 years down the line as compared to short term markets and imo I think many things are sort of working themselves out in this ecosystem. With another hard fork coming and SMT in the works I think it’s going to continue being exciting and innovative times here.

I had recently delegated 500 sp to Hive account@hashcash who I noticed put it to use really well and along with all his hard work grew his account rather quickly. I am going to keep his delegation going for awhile but I am also going to keep an eye out for another person to perhaps delegate 500 sp too. It’s nice to actually see the delegation making a difference even with the small amount of sp I have, and I think the downturn helps me weed out lots of fair weather steem posters.

So what about you do you see a growing sense of community or am I just way too optimistic and need to crush that feeling ? :)

Also More trading cards will be being made soon also so if interested reply in comments.
