I very much like the way you are trying to get people to engage more on a community level, it is frustrating when you are new around here, and spend so much time reading other peoples work and leaving meaningful comments only to be ignored 3/4 of the time. The 1/4 of the time you do get engagement it is highly rewarding don't get me wrong- this is not a complaint, merely an observation as a minnow. I've just kept doing it, joined some discord groups, have now been invited onto a couple of steemit projects, and it's all working out, but that engagement for minnows is so vital. I can see how many would be disheartened, and a big smile drew across my face as I was reading your blog, as you are clearly on of the higher up profiles around here and are actively trying to get people to be a bit more community oriented. Much respect.

Now is a great time to be blogging with the price so low, as well as investing, unfortunately i do not have the funds to invest, but most certainly a great time to be earning on steemit, it could be even more disheartening for a minnow who puts in a lot of work, to then see those funds plummet if it were the other way around right now. If you put the work in now you will reap the benefits long term.

I think possible though you have crypto literate people on here who would understand the waves, but i suppose many people join steemit and the crypto side is fairly new, rookie errors, but again blogs like this shed some light on that.
