I do hope/think so. I really don't want to be the person who's telling everybody that everything is going to be alright, because I don't know that. And we're witnessing right now, what this kind of behaviour has resulted in over the last years. Just believing isn't enough anymore. It's either adapt or die (for Steem).

But as long as Steemians like you, @whatsup, are not giving up - there is still hope for Steem.

We are not building a social media platform, we are building an economy. It isn't done yet and we've been hit with a bear market. We do not know how long it will last.

It is a normal and natural part of a business cycle and it creates a survival of the fittest situation. While we have lost our roadmap and our vision we are also grinding along.

I'm not saying we will go shooting up, but as long as we have witnesses moving the chain forward every three seconds we have the opportunity to learn from our mistakes and streamline our successes.

It is already happening. I'm not saying everything is going to be okay, but everything is going to be okay. :)

Ehh, why exclude our personal lives?
