I'm Not Going Anywhere - Positive About the Future of Steem!

Part of the Steemit community seems to be in panic mode right now, due to [Ned's announcement](https://steemit.com/steem/@ned/2fajh9-steemit-update) that Steemit Inc. was laying off close to 70% of their employees. After that announcement was made, I've heard from people that they were planning to completely move away from Steem, to start over on other platforms like Medium, Whaleshares and Trybe. 

While I respect everyone's choices in that regard, I can confidently say that I will not be doing that myself. In fact, these recent events have caused me to double down on my support for Steem. 

In [one of my previous posts](https://steemit.com/steem/@daan/who-s-still-buying-steem-at-these-prices-steem-dipping-under-usd0-50-b45def14e0effest), I had mentioned that I would not be investing more into Steem, unless I saw some tangible improvements and changes. 

> I've powered up to around 3100 Steem Power, which I think is more than enough for now. I need to see some real changes and improvements first, before I invest more. I think this is not too much to ask.

I didn't expect to change my mind so quickly, but thanks to the recent [community livestream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Shufa7eHBes) on Ned's Youtube channel, I've again regained enough confidence to continue investing. 

This is what we've all been waiting for, right? More transparency from Steemit Inc. towards the community and them listening to suggestions made by members of the Steem community. Then add the fact that they've actively [working towards reducing their expenses](https://steemit.com/steemit/@steemitdev/upcoming-changes-to-api-steemit-com) and you can see why I'm starting to be positive again about Steem's future.

Aside from some negative reactions, we've also seen a huge part of the Steem community come together and offer their support to keep Steem alive. I'm not going to mention everybody, but the posts of @therealwolf ([link](https://steemit.com/steem/@therealwolf/my-commitment-is-with-steem-keeping-my-focus)) & @acidyo ([link](https://steemit.com/steem/@acidyo/a-post-about-my-thoughts-on-recent-times)) were the ones that caught my attention and reaffirmed my beliefs that the community wasn't going to give up. 

All the different Steem dApps are still going strong and will likely cause a massive influx of new members in the future. If individual dApps can become fully self-sufficient without the support of Steemit Inc., then this ship cannot be sunk! It will continue to be developed upon, regardless whether it has corporate backing or not. 

### Keep your cool and don't leave just yet! I'm not powering down until Steem reaches $10!

Sure, but what is Ned doing on YT? He is playing guitar instead we would talk about real stuff and changes. Don't get me wrong, I don't just believe...I know Steemit will grow and stay. But some leading personas could take a little bit different path to be more efficient.

I'm still sticking around as well, whilst there are people like you around! But more importantly, it is also because this is one of the few chains that have launched and produced tangible and battle-tested results! Even if it isn't totally perfect...

You are so correct!  Anyone who has worked in the business world would understand that sometimes you have to tighten your belt, re-evaluate staffing needs and right the ship!  Unfortunately, people who don't see the whole picture are frightened and immediately think the worst of management.  It will be interesting to see what happens next.  It will take a bit of time for the dust to settle, but I am certain these layoffs were not done without a great deal planning!  Good words @daan

It's good that they're cutting staff. It's a business. They have to run it like a business. If they can earn at least some profit, then they can't improve the technology. Crypto is going through a regrouping stage. It will bounce back.

Yup! Let's also consider how much value we're getting out of allocating some of our Steem, time, and energy into the extremely promising looking @SteemMonsters game, which gives DAILY rewards in terms of fun, community-building etc. This should help hold us all over - and keep us occupied - while the fundamentals of the larger platform of further developed and fine-tuned. I think we are in the BEST shape than ever right now. Just need to sit tight and right it out, in my opinion...

I've not invested money in Steem, as I don't have it to spare, but I have invested a lot of time. Although I'd hate to see that all come to nothing it has been fun. I've met loads of interesting people online and in person (2 Steemfests and other events). I'm not planning to power down for a while at least. I'd hope that Steem will have recovered so that I can use it again to pay for my Steemfest experience. I'm not against people taking it out if they need it, but some give nothing back to the community. I do think there are a lot of positives about this platform even if STINC are failing in some areas. We need to get the next wave of new users who actually want to use it for the long term. There's massive potential for musicians, artists, writers and other creatives. We just need a few with big followings elsewhere who will sell the idea.

We definitely need more active users if we want to see Steem become somewhat of a success again. The problem is that most newbies tend to give up fast, since it's fairly difficult to get any sort of success here. Even when they spend a fair amount of time and effort into posting. 

Spreading the good word about Steem on other platforms helps a lot though. I've seen some pretty successful Twitter campaigns in the past.

I plan on sticking around and not going anywhere any time soon. I didn't come here for the steem to begin with and so that really doesn't play a big part in any decision I make with regard to staying or leaving. 
For investors in the currency of steem, you make good valid points as investors understand it takes time for things to come together in new business ventures. Speculators are the ones who seem to be cutting and running.

If I would have more time, I would probably open an account on Trybe or other crypto platform. I registered for Weku but apart of posting twice, I had no time to do anything else. I barely find the time to post here and respond to comment. Plus, I kind of grew fond of many users in here ;)

I was also impressed with Ned's latest YouTube. He's stuck it out while others have left. I personally think the platform is in pretty good shape *despite* the crypto crash. The ones who saw Steemit as a way to make a quick buck have gone off to pursue that aim elsewhere (DLive included). I think we're all building something great here.

Glad to see that you have renewed your faith.  I don't think a lot of people understand the difference between all of the dapps that are out there and Steemit.  Or the difference between Steem and Steemit for that matter.  I plan on sticking around for quite some time as well.
