Gees, that sucks... I don't get why you would leave crypto because of this?? Crypto is real as you write and will not go anywhere...
as @fulltimegeek write Steem power is very securing for your coins/wealth... I would say the same with Bitconnect loans, even I know there is many haters in here... The worst part is your videos and your coins that you lost...
Seriously I lost everything 1 or 2 times in crypto, back in 2014 and 2016, depending on how you see it... I didnt quit, I learned from the mistakes I did ... you can get back fast in crypto, since the prices are going up often...
Funny to see that they could not take your steemit account... I feel like the only thing that I really trusted since last year was steemit...
You will get back UP...
