There are a couple reasons I don't mind (and sometimes appreciate) what @tarazkp writes about, even though I don't read him as much as I used to. Nor do I see things often the way he does.

I will start with the least flattering, which is still understandable. People are prone to chaining themselves to ideas and projects based on what they call the sunk cost fallacy. It would be fair to say he has invested much in the Steem(it) system, and accrued what has potential to be quite valuable one day. Perhaps it is a long shot compared to the heady days of 4-8.00, but the potential is still there. His current holdings would put him if it simply hit those previous numbers between a quarter to half a million dollars.

The second reason ,which is closely tied to the first. History is full of examples of men who were told something wouldn't work, that their endeavors were foolish. Yet, despite those naysayers they plodded on keeping their positive stance despite what was often setback after setback. Unwilling to allow any setback signal to them defeat was at hand, they persevered until lightning struck and their commitment paid off.

On the second observation, I have wondered in the case of group situations how much their tenacity was the deciding influence that pulled others in who were drawn to their certainty. A wider case of self fulfilling prophecy perhaps, I don't know.

When it's all said and done, I hope despite my questioning at times what is certainly not a sure thing with Steem, that his vision is correct. Not just for myself and him, but for the many wonderful people I have encountered in my journey here. I am still skeptical on crypto and the valuations others are placing on them in speculation, but I can't argue they are, nor that the whales move the markets high and low to create bag holders as the waves of the bag holders cash rolls to them. At some point, some of the quality projects will stick. Perhaps even untether themselves from Bitcoin as the project is sought after in the same way an IBM or Amazon is.
