The other day @snowpea asked me a great question and I wanted to answer it here.
She was responding to my post saying Steem isn't dead we are regrouping...
The best thing about her question is it is one I've asked myself. I know I have lost some perspective on Steem and I have a bias for hoping it does well.
Due to that bias, I've had to consider, "When is Enough, Enough" When should this non-quitter quit?
I do have an answer, for me the signs that Steem is past being worth my efforts are pretty clear.
*When we can't retain witnesses
*When the blockchain is having problems consistently
*When we see any double spend problems
*If the place was filled with filth (arbitrary) but when I am turned off by most of the content.
*So little trading volume we are delisted from large exchanges.
I loved the question because it implied to me that she is asking if she can trust my judgment or if I am always optimistic. I am also sometimes critical and I am also well aware we have some heavy problems.
My background is startups. I've never worked for one that went from beginning to end without some really ugly regrouping places in the process.
It's okay to be messy and have legitimate issues, the entire crypto industry does.
Anyway, thanks for the great question @snowpea
For the rest of you...
What is your breaking point?
