Well I am glad that you do not harshly judge those that have powered down. Many of us were once big believers going all the way back to the early days of Steemit. Speaking for me and many of those I brought from other platforms, we have been disappointed for a myriad of reasons. Sadly so many have called it quits. However, I still enjoy it here and post regardless of the meager rewards.

BTW, you state we are all about the money here. If that is true then the best trade has been to sell Hive and buy nVidia, General Electric, or the like. Just sayin.
