Great! Agreed that it is all about the experience, and so I personally look at the investment in Steem (by selling small 500 - 100- Steem worth of BTC quarterly) is a way of "showing appreciation" and helping support the ecosystem. I don't see how the community here can go down completely, and if crypto skyrockets (which us smart people KNOW it will) I think Steemit (and its related dApps) will only go up, and then those of us who stuck with it with have more influence, and be able to better achieve our goals (both current and future). I say just "live in the moment", in that my daily activity on SteemIt provides me enjoyment "in the moment", and there is value in there, regardless of the valyue of the crypto asset underlying it...
