Steem has survived much lower prices and I understand the economics of running a witness are better now. Steem is imperfect, but it still seems to give better and more tangible rewards than any other crypto platform. On things like YouTube you have to be big to make anything, but anyone on Steem can earn something.

Having been here almost 3 years I am frustrated by the slow growth, but there has been so significant marketing and hardly any news stories outside the niche crypto world. We want writers, musicians, artists, photographers, film makers and other creative people to join up, but they need to see that it has something to offer them. We still lack a decent marketplace to sell art and other products. We need an etsy of Steem or similar.

We may gain more of the 'demonetised', but still they scare off others?

The theme of SF3 was dapps. What should it be this time?
