Agree completely. The biggest tragedy to hit most cryptocurrencies is BS YouTube experts who dont know much more than the average person. Frankly, i dont see much use listening to someone who is simply reading publically avalaible information and news content. Its dishonest and a disservice to the crypto community. Most people shilling tokens are stating obvious facts from whitepapers focussing only on pros and not providing a balanced view by also talking about cons. And rarely have i seen anyone discussing tech. In that regards andreas antonopoulos's youtube channel is great for bitcoin.

Steemit is a great project and at this stage in blockchain, tech matters the most. People usings cryptocurrencies are beta testing the whole arena.. telling about the problems and the gaps that need to be filled with the right development.

I see it as an investment anyway, vol is noise to me. To me going up in reputation level is important, if something is wrong about steemit, pointing that out is important and helping newcomers getting the right steemit experience is important. Price will follow all the incremental development and price should be ignored for now. Specially if you are not selling now and wont sell if steem is 10 bucks as well.
