Hi @dflo, Thanks for stopping by :)

Your response is exactly what I was looking for!

Moving past the part where it's harder to earn Steem now than it was previously.. I would agree and disagree.. Everyone's vote value is worth more just as much as Steem is worth more.. so you effectively earn the same (or close) to what you would have earned before. It's not like the price of Steem goes up and your Vote Value stays the same. Is it proportionate? I'm not sure, but it's definitely not a 5-8x difficulty jump for a $5-$8 Steem value (compared to a $1 Steem value).

With that said, I wish you the best of luck on Steemit! (and your other irons on the fire!). I took a look at your blog and decided that I'll follow you for a bit. There were a few articles on there that seemed interesting to me (I'll have to check back on it later though because I'm about to head off to sleep).

Thank you so much for sharing!

I believe that the future is Bright for Steemit. There is a significant amount of loyalty to the platform among the community and I feel that we'll make it through everything just fine. Even with the significant rising prices of Steem / SBD!
