Of all the cryptocurrency's I've invested in Steem is the poorest performer. I own BTC, ETH, POWR, XRP, XMR, ETN, XDN, and STEEM.
I read a lot of enthusiastic comments of how Steemit is doing all these wonderful things to help the platform grow, but 6 months worth of declining price doesn't bode well. While all my other crypto's have had hills and valleys and most are still low, Steem has been a steady decline for months now. I scratch my head and wonder why I even take the time to type the letters.
I've saw a lot of graphs and images showing a good portion of users have powered down recently and just as many have powered up but somehow it feels like the shine is gone, hell even the greed is lacking.
I don't even take the time anymore to look at the trending feed, nothing of any real value seems to be there unless you like fish or want to have a bunch of drama over whether or not a person should or should not be allowed to vote for their own post or not.
I've read a lot of interesting ways you can go about claiming accounts if and only if you have over 4500 or so in Steem Power. Funny though I got 3 friends that tried and tried to sign up for a new account and after a month of no resolve they quit trying. I guess that what they call "user friendly ".
The sad thing in all this is, so many of my favorite friends on Steemit are simply not here any more. They, have just quit, only to log in once every other month or so just to look around, say hi, then go and not come back at all.
So go ahead. Call me Debbie Downer. But do be kind enough to comment or better still a nice invite for this "good" content. I mean really, you read this far, there must have been something in these words you found favor in - perhaps not.
Perhaps I'll just hit the power down button and take my $100 worth of SP and convert it to BNB and use it to cover future trades while fading to the distant memory of so many other Steemians who simply got tired and left with the thought of empty promises from a vacated digital realm.
