Congrats on hitting the 2 year milestone. Like you, I really like Steemit although I was bullied off the platform several months ago by the bully everyone knows all too well. I have powered down but still hang around because I do like the community. I've even posted a few new things recently, and as long as the big bad bully stays to himself, I'll likely stick around some more. I might even return with my investment. Everything you say about the social community that Steemit has become is spot on. Steemit can be a very fulfilling and rewarding experience as a contributor, if some of the challenges are overcome and it is all approached as you suggest in your post. I have made new friends and new connections here. I have learned allot about cryptocurrencies. I believe there is a ways to go and as long as the Stinc Dev's stay focused and continue to make positive changes, this social experiment will continue to thrive.
