I think that it is too soon to have hope after the many years or neglect, starvation, and them trying to poison us. I can see why so may people may imagine the worst. I've already made way more money on this site than I expected, and I write about a video game, and play most days. Imagine if I was writing about important things! Once Americans realize there's money to be made, hopefully they will jump on the Steem train, and help us fuel it up. I keep telling my friends, but so far, only me and my friend Hive account@snook took the Steem bait :D
