F*ck! We are not doing so badly!
If I tell you the truth, I have serious doubts regarding the reason for the decrease in activity in the blockchain steem.
I will not deny the evidence, the last Hardfork has left us all shaking.
It has brought quite good things, such as the expulsion of large shearers from the reward pool but I also think we all expected an upward market reaction...
Unfortunately, the latter has not happened, but I cannot say that everything has been caused by the decrease in activity.
Actually, we have had 3 weeks already on which, in general terms, the power-up processes outweigh the number of power-down in quantity, I mean, more people powering up than powering down.
Also, it must be said that it seems that we have managed to stop the constant bleeding of STEEM because the number of STEEM stored in the exchanges has slowed down and has even decreased, with which there is a clear change in trend.
We must also say that we are climbing positions although still shy, we are already in position 75 with which we are gaining interest in the totalmarketcap ranking.
If we take a look at the STATEOFTHEDAPPS site, we will see that the same steemit is already positioning itself among the first 3 DApps, but the most relevant of all is that, of those first 3 places we are the number one in Daily Users (+ 5.12%) and in number of development activities (+ 32.30%).
And all this is happening in one of the most uncertain moments of recent weeks, with BITCOIN threatening to take the catacombs to the entire market ...
It must be recognized that these are not the best conditions to assess the success or failure of the HARDFORK.
I believe that the clear increase of inactivity is directly related to the market psychology, clearly the general feeling is of disappointment and that does not help new investors to enter in the crypto market at all, nor in STEEM.
We are the current users who are seeing the opportunity, we are the ones who are buying STEEM now in each small jump down but there are no new investors here or in the rest of crypto market.
but...Fuck! We are not doing so badly!
We must wait patiently...
But, at the same time, we just have to keep working, persistently, maintaining the activity and improving the product while creating more and more possibilities to be discovered. More visibility, that's the key.
Sometimes I think we are the worst enemies of ourselves.
Keep working hard and steem on!
What you've written, everything is true and I agree.
Except ... you can say aloud.
Rewards curve change has a huge negative effect on the activity of existing small users. And I also presume that new users are quickly discouraged. OK, this is true with or without the latest hardfork.
I don't have any numbers at hand to underline my claim. Yet, I have a feeling I am right :)
Anyways, !BEER is in order. It always is.
Command accepted!
This race is about persistence and faith that everything is going to be alright hehe. Let's keep pushing!
Exactly
In my case, the increase of downvoters is discouraging me for posting new content. Price is low, but hasn't played any role in my decrease in posting content.
Great article, @toofasteddie, with lots of graphics.
Have you been hardly downvoted?
Let me know because maybe we can do something...
Keep working @javirid, your content has to be discovered soon or later
No, not yet. All downvotes have been 10% with 0.000 STU, maybe some a little bit bigger in percentage. But I dislike people are downvoting without a reason. Those downvotes could also affect the user Reputation, which is important for some other steemians -not myself-.
