I'm from Venezuela, @tarazkp, and as a Venezuelan I can tell you that steem has become just another job for many people, they may even receive more money around here than in their regular jobs, especially for the dollar. I have observed the decrease in the number of votes and comments in the publications, thinking and praying that this would be temporary. Also, I've been able to see that there are many who want to fish in troubled river. I trust this platform and the work we are doing. Greetings
