RE: Curie Author Showcase (March 30, 2019)
Loving the fact that even the crypto-winter could not stop those who are committed and more than dedicated to creating top notch content.
This plus genuine, heartfelt engagement within the community is a massive part of the solution. It cannot solve every issue on the platform, but it can prove that enough people are here with the right ideals and a genuine love of the community for growth to continue toward mass adoption.
Kudos to those who can do nothing other than be creative and write compelling, thought provoking posts YOU are where it's at, you are what this was designed for.
There is FUD in the air...I have read several times in several places that STEEM is dead. I laugh out loud when I hear this, because I see the amazing creative, professional standard content creators here, I am lucky enough to have access to the posts they create and as an extra super-duper cool bonus...I get to rub shoulders with you all and am often given tips, tricks and techniques to become a more effective content curator and content creator too!
Hey, @stevenwood.
I agree with what you said here regarding the creatives, their resiliency to weather the bear market because something inside them compels them to create, and that STEEM is not dead. Not yet. Not while it is still young, and there are still those of us here trying to earn stake and build communities.
There is a tendency to get caught up in the here and now, or the details, where the big picture gets lost. The point being, we don't know why the markets move or don't move. I've found little correlation to what's happening here having any influence on what investors do. It's natural to believe in some form of cause and effect, but I don't think enough people know about STEEM in the investor world, let alone the public at large, for what we do now to determine anything, other than dollars aren't flowing in because STEEM is not yet a household name.
I do believe, though, that it certainly can be, and that little by little, it will be. Time and patience is what is needed.
