Nice to hear from you @acidyo , and thanks for being active in the community despite not posting!

As a newcomer to crypto in general, and steemit in particular, I'm mostly excited about the recent drops. It means I'll get a good opportunity to get in :) having just purchased around 500eur worth of BTC when it dropped to 1800 yesterday I am ready to start powering up my steem as soon as the steem value goes to the point I hope to buy it at :) (Although I would not be surprised to see it fall a bit more before August the 1st I still hope this time is a good time to invest long-term!)

I like to think of the investments a lot like potential rewards from posts here, you should not feel entitled and get used to them during big uptrends or big upvotes, remember that anything can happen before payouts and same thing goes for the crypto-space.

Indeed! or as I think I've written in some other context: Be careful when celebrating success by a rising price, or you risk thinking it's failing when price falls. Focus on developing. So let us just focus on writing great content and building an increasingly awesome community!

And finally. Those pictures are amazing! having lived in Paris now for 10 months I really miss the ability to just walk outside and be in nature :) You're lucky to have that!

Cheers!,
