Everything is about patience ^^ and it's ok to take breaks. Also I understand people finding more useful things to do with their time, some ex Steemians I talked to realized they don't enjoy blogging as much as they though. (They actually quit before the prices dropped) :)
There are surprisingly a lot of Steemians still active tho :D

Funny thing about breaks, I don't think I've taken a longer break than a week from Steem since I joined. Even when I was away it was Steem related xD I guess I can officially sign up for Steem addict group, lol
The thing about Steem, it is not really just one thing. With apps on a rise, Steem is changing away from just blogging platform. Steemit could be described as blogging platform, but there are many other platforms based on top of Steem blockchain now.
We have a really amazing community of people. Those who are active now, they are the real deal and we all should take a good look at them and take notes. Because once the Bulls go running, all the other people will come back and they probably are not the true believers of this decentralized revolution, heck they most likekly don't even understand it at all. They will come back because of the price and hype most likely.
