I am currently buying more Steem, as well as powering up all my rewards.  

I have been in and out of the Steem community many times over the last couple of years; usually I get bored or frustrated, and then stop visiting for months at a time.

This time around though, it feels different.  Like the community is starting to gel a little bit.

Maybe it is just me, but I am starting to get social value out of the site, so have been engaging with the other users more, and spending more time here.  I know there has been a drop in regular users since HF20, but I think those who remain are much stronger for it. I think that those numbers will return once Steem price begins to climb again, but this time will be built on a better foundation.

I am curious to see how the tokens go, and how well some of these Apps work out onboarding new users.  I am feeling pretty optimistic about some of the developments.

So combined with the fact that I think that the broader crypto-sphere is probably nearing the end of this consolidation phase, and will break out soon, I think it is a good time to buy.  Steem is riskier than the larger coins, but has larger upside potential.

I am currently buying 2 - 4 times per month, and depositing into both of my user accounts.
