"Came for the money, stayed for the people" is one of the best description of steem :)
It's gonna take time for the crypto industry to realize how valuable steem is because of it's community. It wont make everyone here rich but it will allow people who want to build to build here (Paulo Coelho TM).
Also I guess this post is no longer valid?:)

That post is actually very valid. I am extremely glad that I haven't spent much time on here lately. Unfortunately, I am usually dragged down by this type of "drama", or whatever we should call it, so I am actually very glad that I have missed most of it.
However, I have Discord and I talk with many of my "Steem friends" outside of STEEM, on a more or less daily basis, and we often talk about other things than STEEM, so that has worked out perfectly for me these last few weeks.
That being said, this post could've been very different. It started out differently, but I changed it. I didn't want to "talk shit" or be 101% negative, so I tried to go a different route. :D
But yeah, "came for the money and stayed for the people" is often a very good description of STEEM. I just wish that some of the people claiming to have stayed for the people would show it in a different way sometimes.
