It's also important not to take the lack of response personally. I already love to write, so I just keep posting. And if fewer other people are posting, then any upvotes I happen to receive will yield a slightly larger dividend.

Then later, like when someone figures out that transaction demand is the only thing that will break the synchronicity between Steem and Bitcoin, the price of Steem will rise naturally. And that point, I can be happy that I was powering up all this time.

Also, don't quit your day job just yet, unless you're a whale. I think that is where the real drop in demand went. People who thought they were going to make a living here are seeing that the market is fickle as hell.

Keep your day job so that you're not so dependent and worried about Steemit. And then keep posting.
