Congrats Ash! That is the milestone I've had on my radar forever, lol. I have been picking up and vesting STEEM throughout the bear market, but only little pieces as I'm pretty wiped out from the crypto winter.

I've bought Sooooo much above $2... hell, I picked up plenty of $4 STEEM. And yeah, for a long time I just wiped crypto out of my mind, partitioned it off, as it were, for my own peace.

You mentioned in another comment you wish for more returnees to the community. I do, too. The poetry side of things has always been small in comparison to crypto-related content, and it feels a bit like a ghost town around these parts much of the time.

But, I've made the decision to view whatever I have or don't have in STEEM as "extra".... that is, not to think of it as income but in terms of a gift economy. Actually, I'm not entirely sure that's smart, since I've tended to continuously give away votes, my time, and energy and then get into a position where I can't pay food/rent.

There's being selfless... and then there's being stupid. At the same time, we can't take anything monetary out of this world with us. What's important is experiences, relationships, growth. Anywho, I may be digressing. But congrats again and glad there's people like you who have stuck it out. Cheers.

Thank you - It's been a long haul but finally :)

Buys at $2 and $4 must hurt and put you in two minds if to throw good money after 'bad' or not. I just can't resist down here and am grateful I had no fiat when STEEM was much higher.

I think many niche communities have/are suffering, there just aren't the numbers and I think the communities to be with (if the interest is there) are the ones with the SP backing - v4vapid and deep-dives is one.

Yeah, as much as I'd like the former at some point, i've seen Steem as the latter for most of my time here. However, if you are missing food to gift, then perhaps a reassessment needs to happen!

Thanks for the kind comment!
