I've been here over 2 years and I'm still having fun. I've been through times of much lower Steem price and I kept posting and commenting. My account has been worth a lot of money at other times, but I couldn't have powered down quickly enough to get that much. This is a long term project that is just starting to take off. I'm sure Ned won't go hungry, but we don't have to depend on his company. That's the joy of a decentralised platform. Steem on!
