Dude, I've been meaning to make a video about this! But I have mentioned it in a few. I am by no means "long" on Steem at all. I don't see it sticking around. Heck, I'm more excited about Bitconnect, lol.

While I don't share your cynical sentiment, to me, it just boils down to facts. I've only known about steemit for a month and from what I saw initially, it never spoke to me as something long lasting... not in its current state. After putting over a grand into it to see where it goes, it's worse than what I thought at first notion. Mainly due to the oddly depreciating account value not in coherence with the price of steem.
