It's a *very* complex issue @abh12345, with much more than meets the eye. 

In the red corner, we have developers and blockchainiacs for whom *content* on Steemit is mostly window dressing... in a very *general* sort of sense. In the blue corner, we have bloggers, content creators and social media users. They care about content and building "Brand Me;" the other stuff is (nice!) window dressing... in a very *general* sort of sense.

Meanwhile, in the white corner, we have "long term investors" whose objective is to keep this thing prosperous and alive for many years to come. If someone has $10K to invest, their objective is to turn that $10K into $500K.... over a period of *TEN YEARS.* In the black corner, you have short term profiteers, who want to maximize *EARNINGS* (not "wealth") today, tomorrow and next week. If someone has $10K to invest, their objective is to double it by next week —*by whatever means*— so they can make next week's Lambo payment. Again, in a very *general* sort of sense.

Part of the challenge — from a purely "Human Reality" perspective, is that nascent industries (like cryptos/blockchain tech) will draw more short term high rollers than long term investors. The high rollers often live by an easy-come-easy-go philosophy — and there's nothing *wrong* with that — in which if something fails, *"we'll just start another one next month."*

In reading between a few lines, there's already a subtext among *some* heavy hitters (and witnesses) here that *"I'm not too worried about Steemit. Someone will create something better on EOS and we'll just move over there."* Nothing *evil* in that, it's just a very short term view... ironically, often held by people who became "instant millionaires" by accident and don't fully understand such things as "wealth building" and "preservation of capital." 

So the role for US... where "us" means people likely to use #giveashit as a tag... is perhaps two-fold:

We build our own base; our own sub-community around mutual support and highlighting the kind of content and community that matters to US, in the long run. In a sense, we do our part to create the sort of place that will be the "Yahoo" of our day, rather than "I'll-never-forget-that-site-dot-com" that vanished when the tide turned, during the "dot com bubble" 20 years ago. In the meantime, we try to quietly "flow into vacated space" when those with a destructive short-term view grow weary and leave. 

OK, so this turned into more of a *post* than a *comment* but it belongs here!
