ASK NOT WHAT STEEM CAN DO FOR YOU, INSTEAD ASK WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR STEEM

![conan base 1.jpg](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/dreamryder007/Ygcr8S5k-conan20base201.jpg)

My wife thinks I am crazy. She says from the outside looking in Steem is .... well.... a bad investment. They don't listen to inputs, are very secretive and have a track record of making bad decisions she says. But, but, Steem has lots of potential, I say. Well, for the record she is currently winning this debate :(

Where do we go from here, you might ask? Well the truth is I don't know because it's not my ship. I think Steem still has huge upside.

So with that in mind, I encourage everyone who reads this post to think about what they can do to help steem out of the mess that it is in now.

Starting with myself, I have:
- offered some (hopefully helpfully) insights and opinions
- offered to invest 100k to start a project aimed at helping steems long term price
- moved from using steemit to using STEEMPEAK
- and finally, stayed active

The next few months will be very interesting with regards to Steems future.

For those worried about the price of Steem tokens, they can go lower. I am waiting to see steems actions during this crisis before I make any decisions whether or not this represents a buying opportunity for me.

So far I am upside down on my investment into steem.

DISCLAIMER: This is NOT financial advice. I am just offering my opinions. I am not responsible for any investment decisions that you choose to make.

Best Regards,

I think some serious re evaluation of 'the way things are', is in order, tbh...
