I would say people who pull back from posting or the crypto world in general when the market is down, think in terms of fiat and not in terms of crypto, meaning they transform everything into fiat to find its value. Some of them are forced to do that because of payments they need to do regularly, and they cannot find the crypto alternative to pay for the same service YET.

Someone can easily go on in such times if they stop putting a fiat tag on every transaction, everything they spend or earn in the crypto world, if they stop watching their account value in fiat go up and down. They are in the crypto world, which will, sooner or later be the dominant one. Value in fiat is irrelevant, unless you need fiat right away!

If you ask me how much is my account value on Steemit, I don't know. I almost never check that, most often it just falls under my eyes by accident.
