I don't know if you've noticed, but we are making some pretty good payouts lately. I'm not saying that the reward amount is high in terms of US dollars, but with Steem being only $0.23 a payout of a dollar yields you more than four Steem before curation is taken into effect.
That's pretty good.

If we assume that we are fairly close to the bottom, and that we do see a rebound in a few months, then getting paid four Steem per dollar is going to have some pretty interesting future effects.
The main effect being that when Steem reaches a dollar again, we will have quadrupled the amount that a $1 post would have made.
I think that's the best way to look at things right now.
Every $0.23 Steem you have right now has great potential to eventually be worth $1, or even $4, in the course of six months or less.
That makes this a really good time to accumulate Steem. I'm not necessarily saying that this is the best time to buy, although I do think it is a good time, but this is definitely the best time to be posting.
It's interesting that there are so many people dropping off the face the platform.
Anyone performing a vanishing act right now is only serving to hurt themselves in the future.
Not only is this a great time to accumulate Steem, but it's also a perfect opportunity to make your name known.
There are tons of reasons to continue to post, and the only reason I can think of to stop is because you feel like you're wasting your time.
If you truly believe in the platform though then you should know that there are way too many encouraging dapps, communities, and opportunities for future growth for any serious investor to quit posting.
If you've invested any money in this platform then you are an investor.
If you've invested any time in this platform that you are also an investor.
I know these prices are disappointing, and it's particularly disappointing that Steem is not exactly holding its own when it comes to the other altcoins that are rising up at a much faster rate.
Having said that, I'm quite confident that eventually we will finally reach our full potential.
This is the time to be posting and accumulating Steem.
This is the best time to write.
