I always say, stop buying Bitcoin and start earning it. Steem used to be the best place for new people to earn their way in. I did it myself earning my way in on Steem for years. The problem is we only had Steem and never grew a full ecosystem.

Without a real economy the industry has a center of gravity around Bitcoin and around this almost return of Christ like expectation that institutional investors will arrive to save them from their choices.

Earning crypto is what happens when crypto is used as intended. Buying crypto means crypto is nothing more than a toy for speculators. If it's a toy then don't be surprised if the price is played with just like a toy.
