One thing to put the money aspect in perspective - Steem has dropped 7.1% since I last checked yesterday, bad - BUT - Monero (my favourite crypto) has also dropped 7.5% in the same time, and EOS that so many people were raving about has dropped like a stone for six months and is now down to $2.25 (from $14).

And as you are showing here - Steemit also the people side to it.
