I never thought markets could disregard fundamentals as they have done.

LOL, yep. Welcome to the world of small, manipulated markets. Here in the US at least, all the markets are manipulated, and have been most of my adult life. I mean manipulated beyond the standard "management" the Fed. does. It's just that those other markets are so large that it isn't obvious reality is veering far off what the fundamentals indicate (other than precious metals, which are also obviously manipulated smallish markets).

On the communities thing, yes but. Yes, I definitely feel like I'm a part of a few communities on here, mostly on Discord. And Steem Monsters is crazy addictive!

But there is no substitute for being able to have a group more like the ones on FB that is on this platform, where you can have stuff come up in your feed on topics you follow, not just people you follow.
